While the baseball season ended in disappointment for both New York teams, our area's football teams have, arguably, been the NFL's best so far this fall. Dennis lucked into a pair of seats for the Jets and Rams earlier this month. The weather cooperated -- as we got a glimpse of Giants Stadium, which the Jets prefer to simply call The Meadowlands. A dozen years newer than Shea Stadium, it never seemed outdated to fans. A rounded rectangle, designed for football, it's been home to both New York teams since the mid-'80s. Zooming in on quarterback Brett Favre, who has helped spur the Jets turnaround this season. (Above) The Jets celebrate their past heroes -- Joe Namath, coach Weeb Eubank, Don Maynard and Joe Klecko. (Below) New York's building boom extends beyond baseball. This is the new home of the Football Giants and Jets -- a 1.6 billion-dollar palace set to open in 2010.
