Green DNA Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 The schematic plan of the new "complex" was released today. Curiously, there is no mention of the Giants practice fields which are clearly shown in the drawing, hmmmm. http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/ New Meadowlands Stadium Site Plan for the Jets and Giants Unveiled East Rutherford, NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwanaZulia Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 As much as I wanted the WSS to happen, nice to know in the end we will be equal partners in a great stadium for years to come. Bring on the better video boards! BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I think they don't have any idea what it is going to look like so they ripped this out of some coloring book!

Unless we have a 4:00 game - then it won't be open at all... Maxman - the KING OF SARCASM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garb Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I have a couple of question regarding the sketch. I get the whole Jets fans/Giants fan thing. But: Why is one of the men dressed for warm weather when almost everyone else wearing a jacket and long pants? All the people in the sketch appear to be men. Do women not attend football games? Ditto for people of color, guess they don't go to games either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsBlow99 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 thats a nice stadium, you guys should check out what the cowboys are working on for 08 season. Im a dolphins fan in dallas and hate the cowboys but damn this stadium is going to be insane.http://www.sfo.com/~csuppes/NFL/DallasCowboys/newindex.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwanaZulia Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yeah, I am looking forward to bigger, nicer, louder, more intimadating. As long as we can still tailgate, bring the kids, have a good time and have a place where the Jets really do feel like HOME, it is all good.

Bring on the better video boards! BZ Uhh, almost equal partners. If you click the link in my prior post and look at the top left hand side of the drawing, you will see the lovely Giants practice fields. If you want to see the Jets practice fields you will have to get a satellite shot of some point approximately 25 miles from the stadium. That hardly seems "equal" to me.

BZ That doesn't make the stadium for me, but as usual, the Giants have to have some kind of "edge" that establishes their territorial superiority, no matter how small. If you don't think this is true then you are being naive. This is the reason they kept the big blue "GIANTS STADIUM" sign up for the past 20 years. They could have changed it to the Meadowlands or even left the name but taken the sign down (most stadiums don't have the name plastered on the side) If I was the Jets, I would have insisted that it would have been both or none in the complex. That is total equality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is total equality. There is no "Total equality". If they both had practice field there, Jet fans would scream that one was closer. If they both were as close to the stadium, Jet fans would scream that one was nicer. If they were both as close and as nice, Jet fans would scream that one had a better view. Time to take what we have and make the best of it. This is the best situation the New York Jets have EVER been in when it comes to their stadium. Enjoy it.

Maxman Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I understand the point about the Jets not practicing there. But it is actually better if they practice a little South. This way they will be EVEN closer to Jetnation.com Corporate Headquarters. This way we can provide better camp updates in 2 years (premium members). Just joking. Even the non-premium members will still get the camp updates. :wink: The further south they go, the better the chances that Brenda is their realtor. Cmon...you know you want the Jets future in Brenda's hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlancemehlot Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 is that a roller coaster in the upper right-hand corner? I can take my kid to the meadowlands and tell him we've gone to Disneyland! That alone makes it worthwhile. At least until he grows up and realizes that Fireman Ed isn't Goofy shaved down.

BZ Well, from what I heard over the weekend, the JETS allowed the move of the Giants facility from behind the track to the road next to route 3 was for between $8-10 MILLION DOLLARS - or in laymans terms - the Giants will pay for the construction of our facility... I'd still call it equal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Actually for the day-to-day running of the team, better they aren't in that bottleneck and the traffic nightmare that will be Xanadu. Better to be in some bucolic suburb off the Garden State Parkway than this. And what exactly are they going to do with an empty arena? Devils have broken ground in Newark, and the Nets will shortly in Brooklyn. Psst... PSLs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newyorkjest Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Detailed plans were released today of the new Giants Stadium to be built in the parking lot of the existing stadium. The Jets will foot half the bill and in return will be allowed to continue to exist in the shadow of the Giants. Team President L. Jay Cross said, "It is a real pleasure for the New York Jets organization to continue to exist in the shadow of this legendary franchise. New Jersey is the heart of this team, which is to say the heart of this team is decrepit and black, wounded and barely beating. On a personal note, I'd really like to give John Mara a hand job." for more reaction visit www.newyorkjest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newyorkjest Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 After months of bombarding the Jets front office with negative letters, including one in which I gave up my season tickets in protest, I finally got a response today. It almost sounds like Herm Edwards talking after the loss to Pittsburgh in the playoffs last year. I wonder why this wasn't their press release? enjoy. my original letter follows the Jet response below. I wonder if they sent Ed Anzalone the same letter. -EM www.newyorkjest.com Mr. M, No one was more disappointed to learn the Jets would be unable to build a stadium in New York than Jets ownership and management. Unfortunately, primarily because of Cablevision's and Madison Square Garden's monopolistic conduct, we did not have a completed New York stadium deal when the window of opportunity to build and own a facility in New Jersey was about to close. The loss of that opportunity would have created substantial risks of the Jets being without a home at the end of the current Meadowlands lease and, for the foreseeable long term future, remaining a "second class citizen" as a tenant in a facility entirely owned by others. Sincerely, New York Jets Ticket Office 1000 Fulton Ave. Hempstead, NY 11550 516-560-8200 (p) 516-560-8192 (f) What a ****ing disgrace this stadium is...this organization is... my old team the former New York Jets has become. After decades of pouring my hard-earned into this team through ticket purchases, merchandise purchases etc, I now say goodbye. Time to give up on the New York stadium campaign I suppose. I wonder, should I request financial compensation for all those hours I logged helping you in the effort back when it was convenient for you to use my passion? Although, I should mention, I do have enough energy for one more campaign. I will organize outraged Jets fans to protest the Jets use of New York in their printed materials and merchandise. We will protest through the same channels we fought for your WSSCC through. The difference is, we will not stop until we have what we are fighting for. You do not play in New York. You will not practice in New York. You sure as hell do not represent New York. In fact, you disgrace New York. I guess when it comes down to it, you deserve New Jersey and New Jersey deserves you. Here's to 99 years of futility. -EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
