How come I can see planes flying so close to Giants Stadium?
Giants Stadium is located between two airports, Newark International and Teterboro. Aircraft departures and arrivals are dependent on wind direction (by taking off and landing into the wind, it shortens the takeoff and landing roll). The two main runways at Newark International are oriented on north/south headings, which puts aircraft in the vicinity of the Sports Complex when the approach is to the southern runways. We are in constant dialogue with the FAA and Teterboro tower and there have not been any violations to FAA regulations. The airlines are following proper approach procedures as they have in the past. Obviously, the events of September 11th may cause some fans to take notice of these planes, but we can assure you that they are not any closer to Giants Stadium than they have been in the past.
