Today is the Super Bowl !! A day coveted by so many football fans who were fortunate enough to have their teams earn a spot at this final battle. So to the Denver Bronco fans and Seattle Seahawks fans...congrats! However this post is about something slightly more serious...;0)
Where is the Super Bowl this year? NY right?? Ummmm HECK NO!! The two New York teams that share the 'New York' title don't play in New York AT ALL! The Giants have been playing in New Jersey since 1976 and the Jets joined them in the same stadium in 1984 ( before that they were each playing at different baseball stadiums).
However this past week on the news all I can see are festivities taking place in NY. There is a "Super Bowl blvd" set up in NYC where all the pre game excitement is taking place. That doesn't seem fair to me. Those teams play right here in NJ so why don't we get any of the glory? You know what NY , if your football teams are so important to you then find a place for them to play in NEW YORK. There isn't any reason why NJ shouldn't get some of the glory for being home to this stadium for over 30 yrs!!
As a proud NY Giants fan I'm glad they play right here in my home state but I can only hope that one day we get more recognition for letting both teams stay at our place, rent free .
So if you're planning on traveling to the Super Bowl today and are on your way to NY...you've gone too far. Drive back through the Lincoln tunnel and head towards East Ruterford, NJ. Cause it's the best kept secret in the NFL!!
Haha, this is funny, but so true! I'm sorry NY is taking all the glory =( . True story though, I TOTALLY thought the Superbowl was IN New York. Oops. So glad I have you for this kind of info =)
