Why do the New York Giants and New York Jets play in New Jersey?

The Giants and Jets represent the New York metropolitan market but play home games at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

A team name does not have to match the municipality containing its stadium. Both franchises retained their New York identities after moving their home venues across the Hudson River.
