New Jersey and New York have a long and complicated relationship, and the situation surrounding the two states' shared professional football teams is no exception. The New York Giants and New York Jets both play their home games at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, but they maintain their headquarters in New York. This arrangement has created a unique situation whereby New Jersey can claim the teams as its own, even though they technically play in New York. The reason for this lies in the legal precedent set by the NFL, which allows teams to have their names and logos registered in the state in which their headquarters are located. This means that the New York Giants and Jets are officially registered in New York, even though they play in New Jersey. As a result, New Jersey can claim the teams as its own, despite the fact that they are technically based in New York.
