Default Giants and Jets settle dispute over opening game - Sunday/Monday combo
Umm... no better way to make this historic decision?

Jets, Giants to determine host of new stadium opener with coin flip - NFL - CBSSports.com Football

Too bad the AFC East doesn't play the NFC East for interconference this year, then they could have both opened it by playing each other.

My bet is the Giants open week 1 on Sunday Night vs a division rival (my money is on the Eagles).

The Jets host SNF/MNF in week 2 vs NE.

The Giants should. Its Giants stadium, and the Jets just pay rent.

According to the Jets, the first "game" at the stadium will be the Giants @ Jets pre-season game.

No, it is not. Giants Stadium is a pile of rubble. The new stadium is Meadowlands Stadium and is a 50/50 split between the two teams. However, the Giants' offices are still in the new stadium, while the Jets have a new facility down the road in Florham Park, NJ.

The story just gets better and better.

According to the Jets. The coin toss was held in secret and the Jets lost. Jets are pissed cause they didn't get to send a rep.

Giants win secret coin toss to play first game in New Meadowlands Stadium

Come to think of it though, if they did that there'd probably be a whole new fight over who would be the "home" team.

Best case scenario is where they open the season playing against each other filled to capacity with all of the most die-hard fans from both sides and on that day a giant hole opens up in the earth and swallows the whole stadium and it's occupants sending them all where they belong.
