  • Teaneck Armory is an armory and arena located on a 13.66-acre (55,300 m) site in Teaneck, New Jersey. The facility was completed in 1936 at a cost of $1 million. From 1967-68, the arena was the home of the New Jersey Americans of the American Basketball Association, the team that later became today's New Jersey Nets. In 1968, the Americans were forced to forfeit a playoff game against the Kentucky Colonels because a circus group had rented the space that week and the alternate location selected for the game was unplayable. Over the years the expansive floor and high-ceilinged space has been used for numerous film shoots, including Sweet and Lowdown and interior scenes of You've Got Mail. The armory has also hosted concerts, rallies, circuses, indoor soccer and various military uses. The Teaneck Armory can be distinguished by the two large World War II-era tanks in front of the building, facing Teaneck Road. During 2005, the major units of the 50th Main Support Battalion assigned to drill at the Armory were deployed for service in Iraq and Kuwait, along with many other units of the New Jersey National Guard. Other elements of the New Jersey National Guard based at the Teaneck Armory have been deployed to Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay (also known as "Gitmo" in military circles) and Kosovo, among other places. Additionally, a squadron of the New Jersey Wing of the Civil Air Patrol is located at the Armory.
