BaumerJet Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 ...This might just be the place. 4 Miles from The GSP via Routes 24/78, a mile from the Short Hills Mall & only 15 miles from the stadium... East Orange wants to host Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Looks familiar. http://www.jetnation.com/?p=278 New Training Facility Jetnation.com has learned that the Jets will soon be announcing the relocation of their training facilities. An announcement is expected in early December. Our inside sources tell us that the new facility will definitely be in New Jersey and that they are making every effort to keep it close to the Meadowlands. Although several sites (five in total) are being considered Jetnation.com has been told that the front runner is Short Hills. It is an area that currently contains several thousand open acres. The Jets would purchase up to forty acres. The Jets would then build their state of the art training facility. A key benefit to this site is that it contains endless expansion possibilities. It is early yet but the earliest they would make this move would be the start of Off Season workouts in 2007. Stay tuned to Jetnation.com your home for Jet News. As more information becomes available, we will share it with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 My bad - I never read the blogs... Not to worry! We had that up in Mid-November. That is the location I am rooting for. Pretty close to work. Lunch time just got more enjoyable during camp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aec4 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I was kind of rooting for the Pequonnock site, since that was the closest to me, but the other site makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathMetalJetsFan Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Kevin Mawae has been on record saying a new practice area and main facilities would do wonders in terms of raising team morale and luring marquee free agents to play for the Jets. This can only be a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can only be a good thing I have to agree. I am sure many current players would be mad because they might have to move. But after a 3 win season it shouldn't be that hard to turn the roster over!

faba Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 It only makes more logistical sense to have the practice facilities close to the stadium-Once the decision was made for New jersey -this is the place to be- I may actually get to see a practice when this does happen- being selfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaumerJet Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 There's more to this whole "one state - one facility" deal - TAXES! ALL JETS PLAYERS have been paying both NJ & NY state taxes since 1997. So you have to look at it this way: If you're a free agent do you actually only want to get 40% of what you've been offered in revenue or the 70% you should have gotten all along? IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after a 3 win season it shouldn't be that hard to turn the roster over! I doubt they'll be mad. NJs tax rates are MUCH LOWER than NYs. Now they do not have to pay tax to both NJ (8-10 days a year's worth) and NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE! I posted mine before I read yours... However, you overblow the tax burden a little. You pay 8-10 days of tax to NJ (game days) and the rest goes to NY. NY taxes ar emore than NJ too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what he would get in weekly payments when he plays here. That includes away games! Heck, even Kevin Mawae has posted the same statement on his own website...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Do the Jets even need a training camp? I mean, do you need to train to suck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
