AFJF Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Meant to ask this a few weeks ago out of sheer curiosity. I heard the new stadium in Atlanta being discussed on Sirius and they've apparently structured the roof in such a way that the majority of the crowd noise is funneled toward the opponent's sideline, making it "ten times louder for the visiting team" according to the reporter being interviewed. Home field advantage is one thing, but how do you fell about creating a stadium that means both teams are essentially playing in different conditions? Especially for a team that was found to be funneling in artificial crowd noise a few years ago. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devland Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 How about a rule letting the visiting team choose which sidelines it gets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet_Engine1 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Weird. Building a home field with a home field advantage.....maybe the Jets should have done that? Nah. Let's share a giant Carrier Air Conditioner with the bigger, older, more popular the in the region.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't expect much thought out response to this, too much bitter hate right now for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet_Engine1 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Its not "Cheating". Its a home field advantage. Is Denver cheating? Should they be made to build their stadium on the plains at Sea Level? Seattle esentially did the same thing, they built their stadium as an accoustic echo chamber. The NFL MARKETS the whole "12th Man" crap. But it was smart. The Jets? They moved into a sterile metal box that they share with their big brother. For a BILLION DOLLARS......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 It's definitely cheating. Unless the Jets were doing it, then it's just savvy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I think MetLife is a better sample of cheating because it makes the opponent believe they're playing the Giants in a generic prison yard for eight weeks of the year.

BigRy56 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 MetLife Stadium is so bland. It pains me when I see some of these new stadiums built. The Jets/Giants really laid an egg here.

joewilly12 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 As a longtime diehard fan I dont like the fact that we share a stadium with the Giants. We had the opportunity to build a better stadium than the Giants and we blew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did. They left the roof off. As more and more teams go to domes, open stadiums will probably be the biggest home field advantage. Especially in Dec and Jan.

Jetster Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 That Westside Jet stadium was a thing of beauty. Would have certainly given the Jets a higher profile. Don't blame Woody for the current air conditioner they are playing in, blame unions. Look what you get when you have to hire union workers & pay them exorbitant dollars. 1.2 billion in NJ builds you a piece of crap that looks like a giant window air conditioner. 1.2 billion in Texas builds you the most beautiful stadium in the NFL. Northeast politics & corruption folks. It's why people don't retire in the Northeast, after working their whole lives there they take their money & run.
