Why are the New York Giants based in New Jersey?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The New York Giants, a professional American football team, play their home games in East Rutherford, New Jersey, at MetLife Stadium. Despite their name, the team is not based in New York City itself. The decision to locate the team's stadium in New Jersey rather than New York has historical and practical reasons:

Stadium Availability: In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Giants, along with the New York Jets (another NFL team), sought a new stadium to replace the aging Yankee Stadium, where they had previously played their home games. At that time, it was more feasible to secure land and build a modern stadium in New Jersey than in densely populated New York City.

Economic Incentives: New Jersey offered economic incentives, including tax breaks and infrastructure improvements, to attract the Giants and Jets to build their stadium in the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford. These incentives, along with the availability of suitable land, influenced the decision to locate the stadium in New Jersey.

Regional Identity: Despite being located in New Jersey, the Giants and the Jets both retained their names and continued to be associated with the New York metropolitan area. This is because the teams draw their fan base and support from the entire tri-state area, which includes New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

Shared Facility: MetLife Stadium, which opened in 2010, was built as a shared facility for the New York Giants and the New York Jets. Both teams contribute to the cost of maintaining and operating the stadium, and they alternate home game schedules throughout the NFL season.

In summary, while the New York Giants play their home games in New Jersey, they maintain strong ties to the broader New York metropolitan area and continue to be identified with the city despite the geographic location of their stadium.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

New Jersey has better labor laws than most states, but you must get approval from your school. You will have to take a physical exam that will determine the kind of work that you can do. (whether you can build cars, rockets, tv dinners etc.)

You can work a maximum of 40 hours in a week. If you are under 14, you can work until 7pm, if you are 14 or 15, 9pm, and when you reach 16, you can work until 11pm or after midnight for certain jobs. Talk to your parents and your school.
