Dallas Love Field (DAL) located in Dallas, Texas has roots dating back to the early 1900s. DAL was a military airfield maintained by the U.S. Army to train pilots. In 1913, First Lieutenant Moss Lee Love was killed during a training flight in San Diego, California. The U.S. Army honored Lieutenant Love by naming the Texas military airfield, “Love Field” on October 19, 1917 (DAL, n.d.). In 1928 the city of Dallas purchased a large amount of land, which included Love Field (DAL, n.d.).

This case study will examine the New York Giants and the New York Jets and how they compete with each other in the New York City area. I will look into the Giants relevant history, statistics on the greater New York City area, what challenges the Giants face to beat out their competition, and other various factors.
