BallinPB Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Not sure if this was mentioned already but I was at the game yesterday and it was probably the loudest it has been in a very long time. I try to go a couple games each year and have been to a few home openers. The energy in the building was awesome. It wore away as the game went on mostly due to injuries. I think Fireman Ed back in his role also played a key part. I just thought it was worth mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 TV showed the crowd with 5;17 left in the game the place looked half empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmat321 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Was there, decent crowd, but more empty seats than you would normally see for opening day. Those in attendance were loud. Think the fact that the Offense put up points and the D created turnovers had more to do with the noise. Parking was an abortion for us commoners who park near the arena.

JoeC36 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 TV showed the crowd with 5;17 left in the game the place looked half empty. It was more than half. People started filing out when the rain started with about 7 minutes to go. Up three TDs with that time, I couldn't blame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those empty seats that people see in the middle of the field are for the coaches club. Probably because the fan is down in the club stuffing their face and not in their seat. That's why we see alot of empty seats in the middle of the field. If that's what you are referring to of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 TV showed the crowd with 5;17 left in the game the place looked half empty. A lot of people left at about 7:00 in the 4th qtr when the deal was sealed. Then it was also beginning to rain. There were more empty seats than I can ever remember for an opening day. The two seats in front of us and two to our right were unoccupied. We are talking about Lowers on the 30 too. Huge portions of many sections in the uppers were vacant. The Mezz clubs were, as usual, well under 50% filled, in fact it looked like about 75% empty.. and of course the Coaches Club, directly across from my seats, was more than half empty too. Overall, very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, very sad. Agreed, a lot of empty seats. It was a very important religious holiday for a significant portion of our fanbase, that's the reason for the abundance of empty seats. I'll stick to that theory until proven otherwise, we'll see what the Eagles crowd looks like. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetscanes331 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Traffic was excruciating getting out of the stadium yesterday too. Holiday travel doesn't help. I think a lot of people foresaw that. But the stadium was definitely loud. II thinkpeople were probably exhausted from actually having so much to cheer about. Been a while.

Happens every time we play them at home. They snatch up tickets for sale here like there's no tomorrow. Very Ravens-like or Steelers-like group of fans only they live a hell of a lot closer. Most of South Jersey are Eagle fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I There will be the same amount of Jets fans at the Eagles game, but the empty seats will be filled with people rooting for the other team. Come to think of it, there may be fewer actual Jets fans at that game. Regardless, place will be filled. The Eagles are more popular in the state of New Jersey than the Jets.

JetPotato Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 That dump is not ever really going to be "loud" until the day it's blown up to build the next one. Not built for sound at all.

SAR I Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 SAR I do you have breakdown of the religious beliefs of Jets fans or season ticket holders id be interested in seeing that in pie chart form. Thanks There are 1.1M people of Jewish faith in NYC alone, that's roughly 15% of the population of the City. There are 2.6M people of white ethnicity in NYC per census information, meaning that Jews make up 42% of those who declare themselves white in NYC. Add to it another several hundred thousand from the suburbs and factor in the overall racial mix of MetLife Stadium and I'd estimate that about 30% to 40% of the NYJ season ticket fanbase is of Jewish ethnicity. So if we were, say, 8,000 people short of a sellout yesterday with a very enthusiastic crowd, yeah, I'd say it was because of the High Holidays. The Giants and the Jets both petition the league each year to not have a home game on Rosh Hashanna or Yom Kippur: http://www.tabletmag.com/scroll/190597/giants-geoff-schwartz-to-play-on-rosh-hashanah SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets and Giants built a stadium with 82,500 seats because that's what the market will allow. The Jets are #1 in attendance in the AFC, #3 overall in the NFL. Blow it up? LOL.

SAR I what an exceptionally dumb thing to say. More people means more noise. Its not rocket science. Arrowhead is the same size and is much, much louder due to better acoustics (also fewer know-nothing snobs) Ever attended a game at Auburn? Ohio State? Michigan? Larger, louder stadiums.and yes, it will inevitably be blown up, just like all stadiums are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
