I could be wrong but I don't believe they ever had their full pre-season camp at FU-when they were playing at Yankee Stadium, they used our facilites while the baseball season was still on. I remember the LA Rams practising at FU. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

I believe at one time late '40s or early '50s Giants used Bear Mountain & Inn for training and then, as posted, would practice at Fordham while waiting for baseball to end. While at FDU for several years, the Giants were a problem as far as the upscale Madison community was concerned, e.g. crowds & traffic. I do not think Fordham has sufficient number of practice fields, first rate training facilities (weights, etc.), and overall interest in the dubious value of having the Giants. Let's focus on Fordham and not on worthless marketing gimmicks. In short, we do not need the Giants at Fordham. (NT) ramvet 14:38:53 02/23/05 Wed

You are right-they did use Bear Mtn and they ran into the same problem at Fairfield as at FDU. I also agree with your conclusion...nuff said on this. (NT) -- OldRam, 14:51:56 02/23/05 Wed
Interesting takes. If we take the cheezy mktg. aspect out of things, might having them here help us upgrade our facilities. I believe that in addition to an increased contribution from Hofstra towards football in the early 90's, the Jets have also contributed quite a bit towards upgrading Hofstra's overall facilities (please correct me if that's wrong). So, would bringing them in help us fund some of the much needed improvement in our facilities (which seems to be an agreed upon subject based on the various threads posted throughout the board)?
