Charles Romes Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Is Russ going to do anything about this? Isn't it against league rules? http://blog.syracuse.com/orangefootball/20..._of_moving.html
bills_fan Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 The battle for NYS continues... NYG - Albany Bills - Rochester Jets - Syracuse
DwightSchrute Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 In terms of marketing radius, the Jets have the right to market their team anywhere in NY as long as it's not within 75 miles of Ralph Wilson Stadium. While Syracuse is generally considered a 'Bills market', the Giants/Jets can technically market/hold their camp there. No League or Team rules against it. The Bills might not like it, but they also market the Bills in parts of PA and OH.
Beerball Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Why would it be against league rules? The extended team territorial mapping rule. I believe it is item 3.2.7.009.48 in the league bylaws.
Lori Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 The extended team territorial mapping rule. I believe it is item 3.2.7.009.48 in the league bylaws. Which would explain why the Rams and Chiefs set up shop in Wisconsin, and the Cowboys in California? Wiseguy.
nobody Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Everywhere east of the rte 81 is mostly Giants/Jets centric more so then Bills already.
BuffaloWings Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I wouldn't call Cortland a Syracuse suburb. Not technically, though it's about a 30-35 minute drive from Syracuse. For all intents & purposes, it's a Syracuse suburb.
uticaclub Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 western and central ny are bills country. The jets have long island. jets= people from long island (sh*tty). bills = people from everywhere else (awesome)
The Senator Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 cortland is more a suburb of ithaca than syracuse. i see problems with this already - half the new jersey roster get's busted for cow-tipping
uticaclub Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Everywhere east of the rte 81 is mostly Giants/Jets centric more so then Bills already. not true at all. bills/giants no one likes the jets thats why there trying to get more fans. but most giants/jets fans are called new jersey loving homos so they kind of hide in the closet.
KD in CA Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I thought Cortland was a surburb of Greek Peak. But at least the Dark Horse Tavern will be rockin in the summer now.
Arkady Renko Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Cortland is a suburb of the abandoned Smith-Corona factory.
gflande1 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 When I read suburb of Syracuse I was thinking something more like Mattydale, or Fayettville, not Cortland. Cortland is far from a suburb of Syracuse. Not that big deal. Not like Cortland is in Orchard Parks backyard. From SUNY Cortland to Orchard Park is 189 miles, SUNY Cortland to Meadowlands Stadium is 219. Only 30 miles further from NJ as it is from Orchard Park. I say good for Cortland, they could use the money.
Alaska Darin Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Shouldn't the Jets be holding their training camp in the state they actually play in? I'm sure Secaucus would love the business.
KollegeStudnet Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 True Fun Fact... Florham Park is the home to the New York Jets training camp...where in 2008 the Jets relocated to...from their old digs/facility which was at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. In 2006, Florham Park beat out Berkeley Heights, Jersey City, Millburn, South Amboy, and Wood-Ridge, which had all been finalists contending to be the host of the new facility... Now after spending millions for their NEW Florham facility, in which they only have USED ONCE....They move their training camp outside of Syracuse to gain more fans and to regionalize!

It's the new coach wanting a more isolated setting. I do not think that regionalization was that big a part of it.
Steely Dan Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Which would explain why the Rams and Chiefs set up shop in Wisconsin, and the Cowboys in California? Wiseguy. The last thing I'd ever call Beerball is wise, just sayin. Shouldn't the Jets be holding their training camp in the state they actually play in? I'm sure Secaucus would love the business. I got into an argument with a Jests fan because I call them the NJ Jests. I said they play in NJ they aren't a New York team. His answer was they hold training camp in NY. I said that by that logic it should be the California Cowboys and Wisconsin Rams. Unless the Jests decide to make their TC as great as Buffalo's is it's a very small problem. I doubt they're going to do that. Also, this year is a bad year to do it. I think a lot of people from Syracuse will be showing up at Bills camp because of TO. I'm wondering if the place might overflow.
