Very early, very non-concrete nugget: the Jets have had talks about moving to Queens.

FYI

The plans for renovating Queens are massive and getting to a stadium in Queens within 10 years will be as easy to get to as downtown Manhattan!

Sheldon Silver is dead 🤲 Let’s relocate his remains to the east end zone and get Namath Arena built, baby. 

[kevinc855]

Dear god no queens….ugh 

[jetsfan56]

Would seem like Woody just posturing and trying to negotiate a better deal.  With their training facility in FP, i cant see them building a training facility back on the island or Westchester.  So if the training facilities stay in FP and then its the reverse commute to Queens just for the games?   Not impossible but seems soooooo unlikely

They did it for years except in reverse, lived and practiced on the island and commuted to swampland to play. Not the greatest arrangement but has been done.

Speaking of, how would the Jets and Giants divvy up Jimmy Hoffa's remains if the Jets move to Queens?  That could be a major sticking point in negotiations.

I’m not going to go into details about who what where and when and why because of obvious reasons, but I received a very awesome non-draft tidbit last night regarding the Jets future in New Jersey:
It’s incredibly early, but there have been preliminary talks re: moving the Jets to Queens.  Steve Cohen and the NYCFC are heavily involved.  The stadium they are building without the Jets being involved would be around 1.5 billion.  You’re probably looking at 3 billion with the Jets partnered in.
I wouldn’t lose any sh*t about it yet, but the Jets are sick tired of dealing with the Maras.  Say what you will about Johnson, but the guy basically wants everything that the players (as well as the fans) have asked for, which is a grass field and retractable roof.  Every single proposal gets shot down by the Giants side of things.  My gut feeling/sense is that another reason they have engaged in the aforementioned talks is to use it as leverage to get what they want from NJ and the Maras in terms of upgrades.  I think they’ll (NYG and NJSEA) cave; but this is certainly something to monitor as next year is the deadline for the Jets to get out.

They would have to give their notice they are leaving this year. This isn’t happening.

**** going to Queens

[playtowinthegame]

I would absolutely love the Jets having their own stadium. New York would finally have two NFL teams with a stadium in their state. Hook us up Kathy! F the Giants. 

[NYJCAP2]

What would happen to Florham Park? That is solely the Jets facility, deep in NJ.

This would be a good helmet logo if we move to The Iron Triangle.

Just cant see them going backwards and doing that again.

[Jack Straw]

AOC wouldn't let Amazon bring 25,000+ jobs to NYC. These lunatics surely aren't letting the Jets come to NYC.

[bgivs21]

Sounds like fantasy land, as great as it would be. 

Have we forgotten that Queens was the borough that stopped the building of the massive Amazon HQ? 

Add in the poor financial situation the city in and all their expenses (ie the ballooning payment for the illegal migrants), there's no chance of this happening.

No they wouldn’t.  The opt-out deadline is next spring.

Too late in my life to enjoy but come back to Queens anyway .

Mayer, Bowers and Devante though.

If true, it's about leverage. NJ Is great for the players. Where do Mets player live? In the city or Brooklyn/Queens?

[TuscanyTile2]

Non-concrete?  Are we sure that's even safe for a structure that will hold tens of thousands of people?

[mfmartin]

No they wouldn’t.  The opt-out deadline is next spring.

Let’s say that’s true (which I don’t think) Where are they gonna play for 3-4 seasons while they build this thing?

It seems to me if some cheesy soccer club can build a stadium in queens then why can’t the jets?  I know Gillette stadium is used for soccer and obviously the patsies so it stands to reason a dual use stadium could be built for both sports.  A roof would be great too.  I can see it being hideously expensive like most projects in the nyc region but it could be a good draw to the queens.  And it would ( or at least should) be far easier to get to that the current stadium.

[Vudu]

I’m tired of having to drive to NJ for Jets games move them back to where they belong

[Plen T]

Sharing a stadium is idiotic never should’ve done it in the first place

It can't look worse than the air conditioner they currently play in.

In the building they own 50% of? 

[BigRy56]

This is going to happen. It just makes too much sense

Anyone know when our 50/50 lease with the Giants ends, or when we can get out of it to build our own digs?

I wonder if seat licenses will transfer, or if they'll just charge new seat licenses?

They own and operate 50% of the stadium, only the land is leased.

Otoh, a football stadium costs over a billion dollars (maybe several billion) for only 8-9 regular season home games, and maybe 2 preseason and up to 2 post-season games.  Is it really worth it?

[mfmartin]

If they opt out of their lease, they are no longer there starting next season.
