We need to get NY's name off our teams. If you play in New Jersey you should be called New Jersey.. No more of New York walking all over us, lets take New Jersey BACK!!!

LOL.

 

It was always something I was wondering about, but even if you call them the NJ Giants or NJ Jets.... most of central NJ will not go all the way up to the meadowlands. Hell, half of NJ south of 195 roots for philly teams anyway.

I hate living on the border between Philly and NY sports' domains. I get stuck listening to whiny fans from both sides, ugh.

As for the New Meadowlands (or whatever it ends up being called) getting the 2014 bid, I'm pretty excited. Its not really going to showcase much except for the new stadium in terms of the locale (though I could imagine NYC will get a huge boost as well)... at least not as much as the weather. I'm definitely getting tickets as soon as they become available, even if I'm not in the local area by 2014 (hopefully not). Should be a pretty awesome time, even with the dreary February conditions we get.

Even when they announced it it was NYC or NY and new Jersey... Put our name first for crying out loud...Jeeezzze

Yeah I hate everyone going around saying "NY HAS THE SUPERBOWL..." Give me a break...it's NEW JERSEY!

I remember when the Giants had just the "Giants" on their helmets, what happened !

Anyone know why they are called NY Giants or NY Jets when they play in NJ?

What happened was that they felt they alienated the NY fans. They couldn't give a rat's azz about NJ.

I believe when they first started out they didn't have a stadium and the Giants played in Yankee Stadium and the Jets played at Shea hence a lot of Yankee fans are Giants fans and Met fans are Jets fans. I never looked that up to see if it's true or not but it's what I've been told.

 

With that being said lets hope the Giants can get good again in 4 years. Whether the Giants are in it or not it's time to start saving now. I'd love to go even if it turns out to be two teams I hate.

All the Super Bowl fans can stop at Xanuda for some shopping.

Xanadu is going to be pushed to open now for sure. + they have some funding now. Come on Cabala's

 

Check this out getting tickets for super bowl highly unlikely.

"The New York New Jersey Superbowl"

 

I F NY.

 

And double-F NYC.

As a die hard Giants fan (Check out my name) and a season ticket holder, son of a man who has had tickets since 1959, I'm fairly certain that the reason that they are still called the NY Giants is that it's all contractual. That may not be a logical explanation, but for this generation of Mara and Tisch owners, it's ALL about the $$$$$$$$$!

 

Tisch got booed off the field when he was introduced right after the announcement was made that seat holders of 10, 20 , 30 , 40 , 50 years would have to shell out a MINIMUM of $7500 per seat just to have the right to buy season tickets. What a tool. No one, I mean NO ONE wanted a new stadium except for the front office, the politicians, and the labor unions.

Go figure, in NJ.

 

Now it'll turn into the Garden, with only corporations owning seats, except no corporations are biting due to the economy. And when they do, they'll have lukewarm out of towners who are there for the "NFL experience," not to root for the home team.

 

Bastards. Ruined a perfectly good team and fan base.
