    NY Jets New Training Facility
    Florham Park, New Jersey


    DESCRIPTION
    Hunter Roberts Construction Group is currently providing preconstruction services for the new facility which will be located on a former Exxon research site that is being redeveloped by a partnership of Gale and the Rockefeller Group. The 26-acre site will house a two-story campus building containing both training facilities for the players and the corporate headquarters for the entire Jets organization. Attached to the campus building is a clearspan fieldhouse, housing a full artificial turf practice field with adequate headroom for practice for the team?s ?special teams?. Adjacent to the campus building are three natural turf fields and an additional artificial turf field, as well as parking, stormwater retention, and an equipment shed for the field maintenance equipment. During the next phase of the project, Hunter Roberts Construction Group will be providing construction management services.


    COMPLETION DATE
    June, 2008

    Thanks for the image. I live about 8 miles from there. I am so fired up to have the Jets so close. My family will be regular fixtures at this facility.

    Thank you Woody Johnson. We're getting a real practice facility, and a real stadium and that has to be commended.

    They're going to integrate the NY symbol if i kills 'em.

    That training facility is pretty sweet, though.

    I live about 10 minutes from Florham Park aswell. Im pretty psyched although the town that i live in happened to be one of the other finalists, so i was a little upset when it didnt get picked.

    That is just a conceptual drawing provided by one of the pre-construction groups. There are others on their website (I don't think the original post had the link, I'll dig it up), but I believe these are all quite dated anyway.....

    its rlly nice... but im kind of dissapointed it's not in NY... i use to be able to just leave my house and get like a cheap cab to the facility without my parents knowing and even if they did they wouldnt care. But going out of state is a little much for me.

    On occasion. To fix them up and store them from bad weather . It looks like its going to be the envy of the NFL for awhile.... To bad they couldn't get an onsite location at the Meadowlands, but it's probably more convenient for the players where it's at upon completion .
