		Ending any possibility of a Queens stadium, the Jets signed a deal with the Giants to keep both teams in New Jersey for the next 99 years, evoking strong response from Queens elected officials, some of whom were already skeptical of the franchise’s intentions.
		The two teams agreed Thursday night to become equal partners in a new 80,000-seat, $800 million stadium—the first agreement of its kind in NFL history—with other specifics to be worked out through binding arbitration at a later date.
		The Jets had run into some local opposition, with many local residents voicing their complaints about the fact that the stadium would be located on parkland — and more specifically that it would cause the demolition of the Fountain of the Planets, a relic from the 1964 New York World’s Fair.

		According to the tree grapevine, this behemoth is a tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) growing in an obscure corner of Alley Pond Park, a 635-acre swath of green in northeast Queens that stretches from Union Turnpike to Little Neck Bay.
		This sylvan site is the reputed home of the Queens giant, a narrow parcel of parkland amputated from the rest of Alley Pond Park by the crisscrossing of the Long Island Expressway and the Cross Island Parkway.
