Meadowlands Stadium Naming RightsOk fellow Giants and Jets fans - I've heard all about everyone wanting the stadium to be called "JETBLUE STADIUM" and all that. I'll admit that name would not hurt the image of either teams, But you have to face one thing. There are other companies who's name would be just as good if not better. Have you ever heard of New York Life insurance company ? "NEW YORK LIFE STADIUM" - Pretty nifty if you think about it. Personally I don't think any company can afford to buy naming rights to the stadium right now the way the economy is. Why not just simplify everything and just call it "NEW YORK STADIUM" ? With New York already in the name - It's a natural connection to The Jets And The Giants. Both teams are already named after New York - Why not the Stadium as well ? Sure it's in New Jersey, But New Jersey would not have a real arguement against it since they refused to pay one red cent for the building. New York would have the name, But New Jersey would have the location. I say it would benifeit everybody to name it after New York. By naming it after the biggest market media in the world - It would encourage more big events to take place in this stadium more often than most stadiums like the SuperBowl, World Cup, and even College Football Championship games. That would be good for New York, Good for New Jersey, Good for the fans, and Good for the New York Teams. Who's in a position to lose ?

Are Shared Stadiums Really Practical ?I've been asked to post this blog by a few friends to try and get the opinion of most people:
In a perfect sports world - Every team in all sports could easily build a stadium or an arena all their own right at the heart of the city they represent with no problems what so ever, But The truth is we're not living in such a perfect world - So we take what we can get. The Giants and Jets have made a shared stadium work for them well enough in New York, New Jersey for years. If a shared stadium can work there it could work anywhere. With The New Meadowlands Stadium and a full 50-50 partnership at a deal that doesn't cost the tax payers in either city one red cent, The Giants are as solid a team as ever despite the early struggles and The Jets are looking like a real team these days. Both look like they're going to get nothing but better in the long run. A new Shared stadium era looks like it's going to smile on the New York Teams for years to come. Roger Goodell is trying to convince The Raiders and The 49ners to work together in building a shared stadium venue together as well. Personally - I think The smart thing to do is to have The Raiders and The Rams move back to Los Angeles and share a stadium there Which is already being paid for in Private Financing and not the Tax Payers. The Niners have their heart set on building their own stadium in Santa Clara, The Raiders Oakland Coloseum is an embarresment to the league, And the Edward Jones Dome is dome stadium not many feel comfortable with all the time. Football & Soccer are made for outdoors not indoors. Since The Rams lease in St. Louis expires in 2014 and The Raiders Have no real promise staying in an ugly Oakland Coleseum - This could be a perfect time for The Raiders & Rams to return to L.A. Back in the 1980's The Raiders and Rams we're always winning in L.A. Bo Jackson & The Raiders was were a threat to make the SuperBowl while Jim Everett & The Rams were always Challenging Joe Montana & The Niners for the Division. It was the glory days where L.A. was a Big Market NFL city having 2 promising NFL teams. A New L.A. Stadium for both could bring it all back again. The Raiders and Rams have Nothing to lose & have no where to go but up from where they stand in the league now and once a salaery cap is in place - Both teams could greatly benefiet in the free agent market as well as the Draft. After all - A world class state of the art stadium built in a major city like L.A. with natural grass field in southern California is an attractive setting to any player in the NFL. The Chargers could certainly use a new stadium. They are currently in talks about building a stadium downtoun San Diego. If it doesn't work out - Could it hurt the organization one bit to move to Santa Clara and build a shared stadium with The 49ners ? What about The Cowboys and The Texans ? Even though they're named after 2 different Cities - Both are located on the east side of Texas State. Would it really have hurt Those 2 teams to build a joint stadium between them ? No doubt it would have made things alot easier on Jerry Jones's income. Two stadiums in Texas with a retractable roof. Imagine how much that's costing the tax payers of Texas state. What about The Eagles and The Steelers ? Both teams have stadiums of their own in Southern Pennylvania even though tax payers in each area paid over 60% of the price for these new stadium venues. That has to hurt the economy of the state as well. It doesn't really matter in Texas and Pennsylvania anyway. Teams in both cities have their great new stadiums and their fans seems to be satisfied regardless of the financial situation. Who knows - Maybe I'm wrong about all of this. Maybe what works for New York-New Jersey might not work in other cities. Maybe I'm right about at least one of them. Odds are I'm right only about The New York & L.A. area. Under the circumstances - The team that ends up in L.A. could end up becoming The future Lakers of the NFL weather it's The Raiders, The Rams, or The Chargers.
