    Uh, no, considering the Florham Park facility is in a largely residential area, limited in size and without surrounding infrastructure needed to get people to a stadium.

    No idea, never been, but the original poster meant that facility anyway.

    Though the vast majority of football grounds are in residential areas in the UK.

    Take a ride on a Google bus (1 Jets Drive Florham Park NJ), you'll see what I mean. Perhaps the OP was under the impression that the Jets training facility was adjacent to the Stadium, as is the Giants', but he has elected not to respond.

    Are they permitted today to place stadiums in residential areas with no regard to transportation or other infrastructure? I had Google-travelled around the Tottenham neighborhood earlier this season and was quite surprised by the lack of accommodations to the residents except for a couple of dozen restricted parking spots.

    tbf I wouldn't want to worry about it for much longer, it was just a throwaway joke at the end of the day.

    most stadiums now are either redeveloped more or less where the original stadium was - as with Tottenham - or shifted to more out of town locations where parking is more available and the land is cheaper. You wouldn't get a new stadium being built in a residential area now other than a redevelopment as the land value would be far too high. Have a look at wher Everton's new stadium is being built compared to the old ground.

    Kris Boyd had a bullet removed from his lung, has been breathing on his own for aweek, has been upgraded to stable condition, is upbeat and talking, should make a full recovery, no arrest made yet.

    Tjhe fact is, most of the grounds are old and have been there for a long time, they were once classed as part of the community.

    My home town team, Carlisle Utd are sited on the main road into the town centre but do have fields behind them.

    Manchester City's original ground , Maine Rd, however, suddenly appears in amongst a pile of terraced streets, you popped out and there was this huge ground right in front of you.

    Ironically, when they moved, Maine Road is now a modern housing estate but the centre circle is still there

    Though, I would say newer stadiums are more likely to be built in more industrialised areas or in smaller towns/Cities on the outskirts of the area.

    Tottenham's ground was very nice and well laid out for both forms of the game but the infrastructure to get away at the end was disgusting. We had to walk 3 or 4 stops before we could get on a train station, as they kept shutting them down due to the number trying to get on all at once.

    The best stadium entrance ever to make it to the premiership has to be Luton's - it was hilarious.
