This offseason has begun as one of significant change for the New York Giants. On Tuesday, they will introduce their new head coach, John Harbaugh, and with that, they hope to embark on a new era of championship-level football.

That’s just one of the changes happening at the team’s headquarters at 1925 Giants Drive in East Rutherford, New Jersey, these days. The building itself, the Quest Diagnostics Training Center, will be upgraded and ready for when the team assembles this summer for training camp.

The building, which opened in 2009 as the Timex Performance Center, is located in a parcel at the east end of the MetLife Stadium parking lot and contains administrative offices, four practice fields (three outdoor and one inside a field house), weight and training rooms, medical facilities, and meeting spaces.

The once state-of-the-art facility now needs a facelift and other upgrades as NFL teams are leaving no stone unturned in providing their employees the best possible workspaces.

Every NFL team has become a billion-dollar industry over the past few years as the league’s popularity continues to soar. The Giants were recently valued at $10.1 billion by Forbes, third-highest in the NFL.

The Giants are realizing they need to start acting like oneof the NFL’s “haves” even though their on-field performance is reflective of a “have-not.”

Anyone visiting Quest is greeted in the lobby by a glass case containing the franchise’s four Lombardi Trophies, but beyond that, the experience is underwhelming. The needed upgrades, which have been planned for some time, were a selling point while courting Harbaugh last week.

From the New York Post:

Harbaugh was accustomed to one of the league’s top facilities — Under Armour Performance Center in Owings Mills, Md., known as “The Castle’’ — and sources told The Post he was interested in seeing what the Giants had to offer after hearing that their facilities might be lacking.

The Giants have already started a renovation of the kitchen and cafeteria and have planned a series of upgrades to the facility, including aspects of football operations — the locker room and weight room, The Post has learned. 

On the flight with Harbaugh from Baltimore on co-owner Steve Tisch’s private jet, general manager Joe Schoen showed Harbaugh the plans for all the renovations.

Harbaugh’s first look at the Giants facility revealed that the expansion of the cafeteria is already underway. In time, their facility will be bigger, and better, which is what the expectation is for the entire operation with Harbaugh in the building.

Every little bit helps in this overly competitive world of the NFL. The Giants already had enough to lure Harbaugh into the fold. The new digs were just the cherry on top.
