Jets Close to Training Camp Decision

According to a league official with knowledge of the team's thinking, the New York Jets are closing in on SUNY Cortland as their training camp site, . The Jets, who have built a state-of-the-art $75 million facility in Florham Park, will not hold their training camp there because new coach Rex Ryan wants his team to train in an isolated area, to build team chemistry and to eliminate distractions.

SUNY Cortland, located about four hours from New York City, has air-conditioned dorms and two full-sized Fieldturf fields. It also has additional grass fields. This location was also a finalist for the Giants training camp who eventually landed in Albany.

The Jets moved to the Florham Park facility after spending the past 40 years at Hofstra, where they also held their training camp. Despite a move of training camps, the Jets have said they still plan to hold community events at Florham Park and Hofstra before the season starts.
