Today, I was driving to work and noticed a brand new building on the site of the old Exxon plant in Florham Park.A huge sign announced the new home of the New York Jets 27-acre headquarters and training facility. The 120,000 square foot training center, featuring feature state-of-the-art training and medical facilities, three natural grass fields, one field with artificial turf, one full-sized indoor field, and a teaching and learning center, is slated for completion this fall.
I wonder if Florence and Hamilton Twombly (as in Flor-Ham Park) had this in mind when they sold a portion of their estate to Esso in 1957 to build a research campus!
With a brand new stadium in East Rutherford, NJ and new headquarters in Florham Park, NJ - will the team finally change it's name to "The Jersey Jets"?

Interesting facts about Florham Park. But, I highly doubt the Jets will ever be anything other than the NY Jets.
