Matt39 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 They have an entire stadium they're not using. Stony Brook made a pitch for training camp, too. This is where the Jets largest concentration of fans lives, and he turned his backs on us - whether you think LI is a pain in the ass or not. Or your being slightly overdramatic. Teams change training camp sites all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freemanm Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 WE have a secondary that Blaine Gabbert could probably throw for more than 300 yards on, and Idzik didn't do a damn thing to fix it during the off-season so far. Idzik is the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that little speck of green on LI? That's the only county in the country that prefers the Jets. Would've been nice to keep training camp here.

They have their facility near their shared sh*thole stadium, which is smart, but they could've "gotten away" to LI for camp, too. If Hofstra wasn't away enough, Stony Brook wanted in, too.

If they all have houses in joisey, LI provides the same experience. And like I said, if Hofstra wasn't far enough away, Stony Brook certainly is.

77DRAFT Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Woody did this? Refresh my memory as to when it was that he owned any part of Giants Stadium. Woody put was the catalyst behind the new stadium, it's about tearing down a facility that was finally getting some age and vintage qualities, just like living devil Fred Wilpon did with Shea, Woody isn't as bad as the piece of human sh*t that both wilpons are, but then again it would be hard to be that low, that disgusting and that repulsive.

Arsis Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Jet fans are some whiny bitches. Grown ass men sitting around and crying like a 3 year old girl with a skinned knee. "sob sob, I don't like the aesthetics of the new stadium." Do you actually devote time out of your limited lives to go look up pictures of the stadium just to be upset about it? You're not actually seeing the thing in real life for more then 2 minutes if at all. Woody holds a focus group: he's a moron. He does his own thing: he ignores the fans.

Bugg Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Shea wasn't our sh*thole either. The mets ****ed the jets over all the time. Also that stadium was awful in the winter time. It wasn't enclosed on the perimeter so when you walked inside on the concourse it was just as cold as being in the stands. Also the bathrooms were atrocious. I'm probably biased because I live in jersey too. Biased in the sense I've lived either in Brooklyn or Rockaway so personally Shea wasn't nearly as bad a trip as Jints Stadium. But there wasn't much bad about Jints; the spirals made exiting very easy, and you could park close to the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelticwizard Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 ... Woody Johnson is a buffoon, walks like a buffoon, talks like a buffoon, and is renowned in league circles as a buffoon. Yet Woody was the one who pushed for, and got, the Super Bowl moved to a cold weather location for the first time in history. If he can do that, how can he be considered a buffoon among the owners?

Would've been nice to keep training camp here. Jets belong on Long Island or at least New York City. The Jets are part of the place, the fanbase is there. I understand the savings of going half and half with the Giants, but Long Island, including Brooklyn and Queens, are where the Jets are most appreciated.

Right, Mara is equally as guilty, Woody had always intended to build his own stadium, remember the plan to build the Jets stadium over the rail yards ? The point is that Giants Stadium should not have gone down,just like Shea, there is an argument that Yankee Stadium because of it's age should have been demolished, but a second major renovation would have been the best solution. Fenway Park is an example of a structure that has been slated for demo by owners on several occasions,instead the public prevailed and they worked to keep the existing structure in place, adding seats and a press box.

Your complaint is/was doing away with a perfectly-good stadium (or a renovate-able one, anyway), and are blaming Woody Johnson for it. He didn't own Giants Stadium. Mara/Tisch owned Giants Stadium. Whether or not Woody Johnson would have rather moved to NYC or not, Mara/Tisch were tearing down Giants Stadium. I don't understand the criticism. So what if he wanted to build a stadium over the rail yards? That has nothing to do with demolishing Giants Stadium. Frankly, I wish he was successful in moving the team to the city, and would have but for the Dolan, Silver, etc. But blaming Woody Johnson for demolishing Giants Stadium, once the Jets' lease was up, is pretty baseless.

Both owners wanted new stadiums on the fans dime, I think NJ owned and payed for Giants Stadium. I'm not sure who owns and paid for the air conditioner, probably the state of NJ, and the fans are paying for it big time with ticket prices ect ext, Also the kids who don't get to go because they got priced out or their dad just can't afford the $200 to $300 game day, that's where the greed comes in. The state of NJ enticed the giants to come over from Yankee Stadium. and later the Jets from Shea. A beautiful Jet Stadium in long island near Shea would have been nice, personally I hated the idea of stadium over rail yards, just something creepy about it.

SayNoToDMC Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Woody would've been a great owner if he managed to get the Manhattan stadium, and much better if he took the city up on building in Queens. Instead, he wound up arguing over square inches of locker from space in an effort to look like he's on equal footing with the Giants. So Woody could have been a great owner, if he wasn't Woody?

BP Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Here's a few things to ponder. The giants didn't want psl's for the new stadium. It was the Jets who insisted on having psl's. Also, jet tickets are more expensive than giants tickets lol the giants won 2 Super Bowls in the last 7 years. I have no doubt in my mind that the maras care more about their fans than woody johnson cares about his. I really don't hear giant fans complaining about the game day xp.

Just jets fans Structure is different. I like literally nothing better about the new stadium, other than the lack of the Giants Stadium name on it, but I thought I remembered the lowest cost Jets PSLs being lower than corresponding ones for the Giants. And the new stadium sucks for all. I know a few Giants fans who gave up their tickets & don't like the new stadium either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clementi49 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I think NY actually got something right this time. Sharing the stadium is the smartest idea honestly. They actually both saved money and tax payer dollars didn't go to the building of two new stadiums. And not once when you are their for a live game does it feel like the giants even own it.
