RSJ Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Was thinking the same thing. I actually like MetLife - but it can use a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS17 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 All these beautiful new stadiums. Dallas, Minnesota, Atlanta, San Francisco. And we get a generic, grey timeshare turd with a venetian blinds exterior that changes colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Yea, had the same thought. ******* Jets are the B-team in a shared stadium that isn't even in their home ******* state. You can't make this sh*t up. Arthur Blank seems like a cool rich guy, though. The pricing of concessions to make it family friendly is novel.

nyjunc Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 the last 2 stadiums to open up are incredible(minny and Atl). Atlanta is a terrible pro sports town, they got that beautiful stadium only 25 years after opening their last one while we play in the #1 market, share a stadium w/ another team and we get a giant sardine can to play in.

joewilly12 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Agree and to imagine it hosts at least 20 NFL home games there counting pre-season shared by 2 teams the place should be the Taj Mahal of NFL stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Isn't it true though that the metropolitan area unions cause the inflated build costs? I remember reading that the current stadium would have been less than a billion on other areas EDIT: I hate our stadium. Woody should never have gone there except maybe as a rental till he could build his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 2025 - this is the first year that we can "opt out" of the stadium deal, correct? I wish that Woody would start figuring out a way to get us into our own stadium. Seriously, this is ridiculous. Spend the money Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse, for $1.7 billion, MetLfe is far and away the ugliest and least fan-friendly of the newer stadiums.The blandest design of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Why do people complain about the stadium so much? It has awesome sight lines and a great atmosphere when there is a reason for one. (see thanksgving game pre-butt fumble) The outside design was done to reduce wind... and it has. Honestly though who the hell cares what it looks like outside? Is this team that boring now that you care how cool the stadium looks? I don't care if the outside was shaped like a giant dog turd if the field is nice and the views are good.

It could have been affordable and the best in the world but many fans like tailgating and that would have been curtailed some. However that would have been offset by the fortune that they would have made in their PSLs. Anyway water under the bridge now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
