But was the West Side Stadium really dead? Alex Garvin, the Olympic bid's lead planner, said it wasn't. "We always intended, if we won, to push for the West Side Stadium again," he said. "We believed that [State Assembly Speaker] Sheldon Silver would come around if the Olympics were a reality." The bid planners, according to Garvin, would have made a second attempt at securing state funding for the stadium, with the Jets as the primary tenant. If the stadium had been built, the proposals for its use could have been limitless. Cross said there were plans to host major college football games and an annual match between the winners of Europe's Champions League and South America's Copa Libertadores. There was talk that the stadium could attract the first Premier League team outside the U.K. as an additional tenant. And, of course, the Jets would be in Manhattan.
There's constant "talk" of moving an NFL team to London too ...
Losing 19 away games a season due to jetlag would mean they would be relegated in the first season.

Me either.
