Getting in New York state of mind

NEW YORKERS take sportvery seriously and have some ofthe best known teams in the world operating out of legendary venues.

The Giants, the Jets, the Yankees, the Mets, the Rangers and the Knicks vie for the hearts and minds of locals who fill out the Giants Stadium, Yankee Stadium, Citi Field (the Mets played in Shea Stadium until this year) and Madison Square Garden on a regular basis, regardless of success or failure.

The Garden also plays host to huge boxing cards and many world title fights.
