As a New Jersey native, I often get asked why we claim the New York Giants and the Jets as our own. It all boils down to the fact that both of these NFL teams have their home stadiums in New Jersey, at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. This is because New Jersey offers more land and space for the stadiums as opposed to the crowded city of New York. Moreover, both teams have a strong fan base in New Jersey, making the state feel like their true home. So, despite their names, it's pretty clear why we, New Jersey locals, proudly claim the Giants and the Jets as our own.
