Why are the NY Giants Football team based in NJ?

The New York Giants are based in New Jersey primarily due to the construction of MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, which they share with the New York Jets. The stadium, opened in 2010, was built to accommodate both teams and is located just outside of New York City, allowing for easier access and modern facilities. Historically, the Giants have had a presence in New Jersey since the late 1970s, and logistical factors, including space and infrastructure, influenced the decision to remain in the state. Thus, while they represent New York, their home base is in New Jersey.
