The New York Giants and the New York Jets are known for their ride-or-die fans. But at least two major fans are suing the teams, since both play their home games in New Jersey, and not in New York. The fans are seeking $6 billion, including $2 billion in monetary damages and another $4 billion due to alleged false advertising and deceptive practices.

The fans, Abdiell Suero and Maggie Wilkins, filed the lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court. The plaintiff’s suit includes his demand that both the New York Jets and the New York Giants return to New York by 2025.

Both football teams play their home games at Met Life Stadium, about seven miles from NYC and accessible via mass transit or driving from the city to the stadium. However, traffic traveling between New York City and New Jersey is famous for its hours’ long traffic jams which occur on a regular and often daily basis.

Both plaintiffs state in court documents they bought tickets to a New York Giants game but did not know until after their purchases that the team plays in New Jersey.

The New York Giants have been playing in East Rutherford, New Jersey since 1976, after playing in New York at Yankee Stadium, located in the Bronx. The New York Jets moved to the New Jersey stadium in 1984, after leaving Shea Stadium located in Queens, New York.

"If the Giants and Jets want to call themselves New York teams, they need to come back to New York," said Suero in court documents. "I've traveled to and from MetLife Stadium by mass transit and car service, and both ways are a nightmare.”

The suit also demands both teams stop using “New York” as part of their official monikers and now use “East Rutherford” Giants and Jets, as long as they continue to play home games in New Jersey and not New York.

Suero claims the teams are using false advertising and deceptive practices via their branding of both teams as being in and from “New York” while playing in the Garden State next door. He also alleges in his suit that fellow sports fans who live in New York, as he does, experience "mental and emotional damage, including depression, sadness and anxiety ... as a result of the Defendants' conduct.”

Court documents state, “MetLife Stadium is located in the swamps of East Rutherford, NJ … , which has a population under 10,000, the 116th largest city in New Jersey. It’s not exactly an exciting and romantic destination, and the Giants, Jets and MetLife Stadium have absolutely no connection whatsoever with the city, county or state of New York. Plaintiffs Abdiell Suero and Maggie Wilkins insist they were duped by false advertising and other fraudulent deceptive practices into believing the Giants and Jets still played in New York and shelled out some significant green to see Blue Blue and Gang Green play at MetLife Stadium.”

The New York Giants released a statement stating they disagree with the lawsuit and will “defend it vigorously.” Their roots in New Jersey also extend to their teams’ practice facilities.

The NFL, New York Jets and New York Giants filed legal papers recently requesting the suit be dismissed. Part of their argument is that MetLife Stadium in New Jersey is within the 75-mile radius covering their NFL territory rights, which includes New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

The legal documents argue the “continued use of ‘New York’ as part of their team names is not misleading at all — it merely refers to the teams’ hometown.”

Both the New York Giants and The New York Jets have their practice facilities in New Jersey and not in New York. The Giants use Quest Diagnostics Training Center, which is next to the MetLife Stadium, and The New York Jets use Atlantic Training Center in Florham Park, about twenty minutes away from the stadium.
