Is Jimmy Hoffa buried beneath Giants Stadium?
That's been the rumor for the last 20 years, ever since Donald "Tony The Greek" Frankos said in a 1989 interview with Playboy that Hoffa's body was buried at Giants Stadium, beneath Section 107 near one of the endzones.
Now that the stadium will soon be torn down once the new Giants/Jets stadium is ready for operations, do investigators plan to check to see if the former union boss is buried there?
Nope.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the FBI has no plans to search for Hoffa's remains, which Frankos said were buried in a 50-gallon drum.
"If there was some credible information, we wouldn't wait until the stadium was being demolished," Special Agent Bryan Travers told the paper. "We would go in there and aggressively look for it ...
"We would never wait this long. ... We would have no problem digging a giant hole at the 50-yard line if we thought there was reason to act," he said.
"No, there are no plans," said Alice McGillion, spokeswoman for the New Meadowlands Stadium Corp., the company formed to build the privately financed new home of the Giants and the New York Jets, and tear down the old one."The stadium will taken down next spring, and the area will become a parking lot."

It made for some good laughs, but no credible evidence ever emerged. Facts strongly point to a hit in Michigan. Even Hollywood would be challenged to create a scenario under which experienced killers truck any body, let alone Hoffa, across the country for disposal. Frank Sheeran's story, in "I Heard You Paint Houses", is the most probable recollection of Hoffa's demise I've come across.
What is this 'Playboy' of which you speak?
The only guy ever buried in Giants Stadium was Joe Montana on Jan 4, 1987.
Jim Burt was the perpetrator.
Oh....lo and behold...
Youtube has a videotape of the crime...

And some guy named LT scored the TD.
1) He could be there. A mobster with power could think it was funny somehow and do it.
2) FBI can wait... if demolision crew finds anything, they contact authorities anyway.
3) Hoffa was a GREAT movie. Nichalson and DeVito were spectacular.
4) Anyone know what 2 NFL connected people may have been the last people to see Hoffa alive, besides his murderer(s)?
5) And Hell Yeah!!! LT scored the TD!!!
