College Football Becomes Trendy in New York Teams’ New Stadiums

The Yankees are doing it.  Now the Giants and Jets are.  The new Meadowlands Stadium that will be home to the Giants and Jets will also be home to Syracuse football.  Syracuse has agreed to play three games at the new stadium in the Meadowlands.  At the new Meadowlands, Syracuse will host Southern California in 2012 and Notre Dame in 2014 and 2016.  Notre Dame will also be in the area in 2010 when they play Army at the new Yankee Stadium.  

College football is back in the New York Metropolitan area and hopefully will be here for a while.  Lacking major football colleges in the area, having games in the new Yankee Stadium and new Meadowlands Stadium does the trick.  It’s great to see college football get into the biggest market in America.  New York sports fans don’t get the chance to see college football in their backyard and this enables them to do so.
