Jets Training Camp Details Come to Light

FLORHAM PARK, NJ-The new 120,000-sf training facility for the New York Jets here will keep football and business operations separate; each to their own floor. Currently, several miles and the East River seperates the two divisions of the football organization.

Thad Seeley, senior vice president for the Jets, showed just-completed blueprints of the facility to CoreNet’s New Jersey chapter. The networking group’s November meeting hosted the “New York Jets Training Facility & Corporate Headquarters – a Model Public/Private Partnership” talk at the Park Avenue Club, right next to the Jets’ site.The two-story building wraps around one of five football fields in the camp, with lights set up for night practices. Three more outdoor fields are adjacent to this one and a fifth is inside. The various turf conditions will allow the Jets to simulate game day conditions no matter where they’re playing.

The first floor will be home for football operations and the second floor for business operations. The two halves of the Jets will be kept separate, with separate parking lots and entrances. A first-floor cafeteria and auditorium will have dual use capabilities. The media have a third entrance, away from both football and business operations.
