The New York Jets officially transitioned their home stadium operations out of the physical boundaries of New York City decades ago, moving across state lines to the Meadowlands sports complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. While the franchise originally played select high-profile games at historic New York venues like the Polo Grounds and Shea Stadium during its early decades, the changing landscape of stadium economics, lack of massive urban land parcels for modern parking facilities, and partnership agreements led them to permanently base their matchday operations in New Jersey, where they eventually constructed MetLife Stadium alongside the Giants.
