Lawsuit demands Giants, Jets cut ties with New York and embrace NJ roots
Before MetLife Stadium opened in 2010, both the Giants and Jets called Giants Stadium home. The Giants have been in the Meadowlands since 1976. The Jets joined them in 1984.
According to the Post, “The class-action case also seeks to represent anyone who was tricked by the teams’ marketing since 2016 into attending NFL games at the stadium.” The attorney leading the lawsuit is Evan Spencer. “Not only isn’t the Meadowlands in New York, it was the site of one of the country’s biggest garbage dumps for decades before defendants’ stadiums were built on top of it,” wrote Spencer, demanding the case move forward.
The Post reports “The NFL, Jets and Giants filed legal papers April 25 seeking to get the suit dismissed.” In doing so, they claim the “continued use of ‘New York’ as part of their team names is not misleading at all — it merely refers to the teams’ hometown.” The defendants also noted “MetLife is a mere 7 miles from Manhattan — which is well within the 75-mile radius covering the teams’ NFL territory rights that cover parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
