After 1992 the NFL (who backed the league) suspended the WLAF's operations. When the WLAF returned in the 1995 season the league was concentrated in Europe, and none of the seven North American teams (including New York/New Jersey Knights) returned.
They played their home games at Giants Stadium, also the former home to the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets.
