Video: Fans Enjoy Jets Open Training Camp Practice

New York is holding its training camp at its home facility for the first time since moving to Morris County.

As NFL football starts up again — and thankfully for fan — training camps have begun opening, as the lockout was lifted last week.

Hundreds from around the area, including Wayne, flocked to Florham Park's Atlantic Health Training Center, home of the New York Jets. The team held its initial public practice on Tuesday during its first training camp at the Morris County facility. The Jets decided to hold camp at their year-round home, away from the New Meadowlands Stadium, instead of their previously scheduled site, SUNY Cortland in Cortland, N.Y., due to the length of the lockout.

The practice was part of a public event, which featured games, merchandise booths and, of course, the players running drills. Former New York Giant Plaxico Burress was on the field on Tuesday with his new teammates. He signed a one-year, $3 million with the team recently. Burress missed the past two seasons serving a prison sentence for a weapons charge conviction.
