New York Jets Corporate Headquarters and Training Center-Florham Park, N.J.
Clock management is a critical football skill. Hard-fought games come down to decisions based on minutes left in the fourth quarter. But quarterbacks and coaches are never asked, midway through the game, to finish up a quarter early.
That’s essentially what the New York Jets asked their project team to do about a year into construction of the team’s new corporate home and training center in Florham Park, N.J. – finish nearly three months earlier than the original schedule in order to move in before the 2008 season. The team promised to deliver, evoking the spirit of Joe Namath, who famously guaranteed his underdog Jets would defeat the Colts in Super Bowl III three decades ago.
