After nearly three weeks in Albany, the Giants completed their final practice of training camp on Tuesday. Surprisingly, the story line for the final day was not about the issues on the field but rather the issues in the bedrooms. YNN Sports Director Marisa Jacques has the details.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- As the world champion New York Giants signed off from Albany, their fans coached them on the perfect return strategy.

"They belong in Albany!" one fan said.

"Oh my God I'd be furious if they didn't come back,” said another fan. “What would we have to look forward to at the end of the summer?"

But each year, the Giants could choose to lateral it back to New Jersey for camp and a team source tells YNN they must decide if it's worth coming all the way up to Albany for just one practice a day. Instead, the G-Men might run the option to avoid getting sacked by the weather.

"Coach, are you happy with the facilities here?” our reporter asked.

Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said, “Except for when it rains."

The one day it did rain during training camp, Coach Coughlin had to move his players into SEFCU Arena, which doesn't exactly have a football field. He doesn't want to contend with that again in the future.

"There's a challenge for the Giants because if they come here and it rains, four or five days and they lose four or five hours of practice time a day, that impacts what's going on with their team," Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings said.

Jennings says he's working with UAlbany officials on a playbook that might include a "practice bubble." The one currently on campus is too small and would need to be expanded and lined with turf. UAlbany declined comment for this story, but the fans know what they want.

"We're their family, this is their extended family," one person said.

"They've been here for 17 years, they've won two Super Bowls. I'm very superstitious, so if they stopped coming here, I'd be really upset and worried for them," said another person.

Not Coach Coughlin.

"Last summer we were home, didn't turn out to bad," he said.

The Giants are expected to make a final decision on next summer's camp this fall.

When it comes to the hype surrounding the New York Jets, it's probably safe to say that Coach Ryan will have more to say than Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin. With the rivalry set to renew this weekend, Coughlin talked very briefly about the New York teams facing off, and more on winning when the season officially begins.

After two weeks of training in Albany, the Giants kicked off their preseason in Jacksonville on Friday night. Starting quarterback Eli Manning played for just two series, going 4 for 8, and passing for 60 yards. Back-up quarterback David Carr showed he can manage the offense if Manning ever goes down with an injury. Unfortunately it wasn't enough for Big Blue, as the Jaguars snuck by with a final score of 32-31. Our Seth Leavitt has more.
