The New York Jets and the New York Giants will meet on August 16, 2010 as they both host the opening game at the new Meadowlands stadium. The NFL changed the original preseason schedule to allow this game to be the opening one for each of the two teams as they wished. Considering it is the The Jets’ turn to be the host in this rivalry, they will be the home team at their 42nd meeting ever in a preseason game.

Giants Stadium has been considered home to the Giants since 1976. The Jets moved in 8 years later in 1984 and became a new tenant. This new stadium will stop the Jets from feeling like a second rate team because the two teams will share a 50/50 partnership. It will be the only stadium that is shared by two teams, as was the old Giants Stadium.

The Giants and Jets flipped a coin to see who would open their regular season first. The Giants won, and will play their first regular season game on September 12. The Jets will open at the new Meadowlands stadium on the following Monday. However, in August you can experience the inaugural game between the two occupants of the new Meadowlands stadium. This is a once in a lifetime chance that you do not want to miss out on!
