"This decision was reached after careful consideration of the current state of the COVID-19 crisis, in discussions with the Giants and Jets, and in consideration of the health and safety of our fans, players and staff, which will continue to be the primary focus for our teams," the statement read.
The teams supported the governor's decision in the interest of public health and safety.
"Both the Giants and Jets will play our games without the benefit of fans in attendance will play our games without the benefit of fans in attendance," the teams said.
