batman10023 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 hi. i am looking to go to the game this weekend - looking at lower level seats - is row 8 too low? Is there a difference between sideline seats and great hall seats? are there better rows? 8th row i am worried might be too low to get a full view of the stadium. is the great hall mostly filled with opposing team fans normally i am in the Mezz section which has a different view. how crazy are the sideline seats or is it just normal fans. don't want any crazy drunks ruining our visit (burbing is okay, farting is a no no) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distance perspective is difficult. I sit in row 16 which is just a little over half way up on the lowers (31 rows). It's perfect. Above the rolling camera and very good lateral visibility. I used to sit up in row 29, which was significantly more distant. If you get row 16-20 you will feel like you are right on the action and also high up enough to get full goal line to goal line vision. Great Hall (139) is between the two 42 yard lines. Dead center. 137 and 140 are between the 27 and 40. 135 and 142 are between the 12 and 25 yard lines. The far ends of 135 and 142 (near to the 10 yard line) are kind of sucky when the ball is on the other end. Anything not between at least the 20's is only great when the ball is on your side of the field. Having had seats in 135, just be aware that they stand practically ALL THE TIME, particularly when it is unnecessary. I like to stand on big defensive plays. I don't like to stand on EVERY play which is how it can be at times in 135. This is not so in 137, where I moved a couple of years ago. Same for 139.

Glad you didn't wind up there. Then of course we have the traffic jam at the lower level which is what makes it so easy for me to get out to my car and on Route 3 before almost anyone else.

These are not club seats correct? hopefully not TOO much burping and farting. The great hall sounds like really nice seats. i think they are more expensive. Do they still do interviews in the coaches club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a great game to go to, things may go downhill from here, quickly. I just sold 2 of my Mezz A seats for $50 above face so you may want to wait until the last minute to score some seats, especially the pricey lower level, you can get some great deals late Saturday or early Sunday.

Do they still do interviews in the coaches club? Great Hall is on Visitor's side of the field. You have no access to the coaches club, which is on the Jets' side of the field. You do have access to the Great Hall's very own little bar/club right under it and next to the Jets Shop. I've never been in it. 137, 139 and 140 have cushioned seats but less leg room than the smaller plastic seats everywhere else. If you are under 6 feet tall, no worries. I took my 6'2" brother in law and he felt cramped because of the longer seat cushions in 137. Great Hall seats are very expensive. Like $400 per game or something close to that. 137 and 140 are $170/game and every bit as good, just without the bar/club underneath the section.

GH seats are around 350. so an extra 100 bucks for slightly better view and access to the little bar/club. yes, i know GH doesn't have access to coaches club but it might be fun to do it once.

Be sure to come by 137 row 16 seats 9-11 to say hi. We like to get in at least 10 minutes or more before the National Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found 2 coaches club seats for season opener at @ $250 each the night before the game. If you aren't in any hurry, wait. I gurantee you, if you sit in front of computer on Saturday night and Sunday morning, you will get Mezz Club seats for under $100 each and Coaches Club under $300 each. patience and constant checking is the key.

So my eldest son is off at college and he'll call me last-minute and tell me he can make the game but I only have 1 parking pass. So he'll drive the 2 hours, come back to our house, jumps in my car, etc. but that costs him a lot of extra time. With Redd's Restaurant and Bar In The Heart Of The Meadowlands® he can drive to/from the game which will be very good for him. Thanks again for mentioning it.

Never been to Great Hall Club(Section 139) but over there only food and non-alcoholic beverages are free. Coaches Club is the real deal but sticker price per game is $700. If you can find a ticket under $300 jump on it. This Sunday weather report calls for Thunderstorm so I expect prices go down significantly. Don't buy until Saturday night or Sunday morning.
