The Jets have made a significant contribution to the athletic facilities at Hofstra because it is their year-round home. The Giants train out at the Meadowlands during the season so with the exception of summer camp, they would have no reason to be involved at Fordham the rest of the year. By the way, in the late '60's they also practiced at Maritime College out in Throggs Neck while waiting for the baseball season to end. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

In reply to: Ram '91 's message, "Once upon a time the Jets had to compete for practice time with the Mets when they both played at Shea. One time returning from a bad loss into La Guardia the coach looked out the window and saw a green field not too far from Shea. A deal was made and the Jets could practice there as long as the prisoners could watch when they weren't in lockdown... the land was on Riker's Island! Maybe we could do the same thing by painting a sign on the field that says: "Wellington, let the Giants practice here!". Doubt he flys into La Guardia, though." on 18:40:36 02/24/05 Thu
