It was announced yesterday (9/28) that the New York Jets are going to move to Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands (East Rutherford, NJ). This has made quite a few New Yorkers mad, and the New Jersey public is once again (as was done with the Giants) calling for a name change; e.g., Jersey Jets. Regardless of whether such a change is in the making or not, I'd like to know how many NFL teams don't play in the city that bears their name. Offhand, I can think of the Rams in Anahiem (sp?), and I believe the 49ers are in South San Francisco. What many of my fellow Jerseyites don't seem to realize is that the New York in the Giants and Jets names refers to the city, not the state. The Meadowlands is definitely close enough to NY to be considered a suburb. Any answers to the 'where do they play' question may be mailed to me, whereas general commentary on the Jets departure should probably go to the net. Thanx in advance, Frank Fite, Bell Labs Holmdel, New Jersey ihnp4!houxa!fdf
