The New York Giants will use MetLife Stadium as the team’s training camp headquarters, according to Art Stapelton of NewJersey.com.
The Giants will host their team training camp in East Rutherford, while the Jets will be in Florham Park. As Stapleton reports, the Giants will still use the practice fields at Quest Diagnostic Training Center since the team’s training center is on the outskirts of the team’s facilities. However, with regards to the locker room and meeting space, the Giants will use their home stadium as a temporary space.
The Giants will also have access to the suites in MetLife Stadium, as the team will attempt to socially distance given their current constraints.
The Jets don’t have the same advantage of being able to prepare in their own stadium. Following the guidelines set forth by the NFL and CDC, the Jets will be conducting a limited training camp on their own accord while preparing for the season in Florham Park.
This isn’t a change from the Giants’ usual circumstances, but since they’re so close to their stadium already, they’re allowed to participate in the team’s limited training camp there.
The Giants being allowed to practice at MetLife gives them an opportunity to experience their home stadium without a crowd. The Jets, meanwhile, will have to get creative in order to mimic such circumstances at their own team facilities.
