Giants and Jets Break Ground on New Stadium

Okay two things bother me with this story.

1) Can't the two teams stop sharing a darn stadium already?

2) This was their chance to fix the location and really become New York teams, yet they're still going to play in New Jersey.

Here are the highlights:

Steve Tisch, Giants President along with CEO John Mara and Jets Chairman and CEO Woody Johnson unveiled the design at a ceremony also attended by New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

The yet unnamed building, for which owners are still working on a naming-rights deal, will host 20 NFL games each season -- more than any football stadium in the country. I wonder if it will be named Jets Stadium this time since they love to share so much?

Constructed next to the existing Giants Stadium, the new field is expected to open for the 2010 season and seat 82,500 in a bowl-design, where seats in the front row are 46 feet from the sidelines. Fans also will find a 300,000-square-foot outdoor plaza for tailgating.
