SAR I Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 19 minutes ago, nyjunc said: It's the ugliest stadium in major pro sports in the US and it's not close. Look at what Minnesota just built and look at the crap we got stuck w/? The only things a fan going to a game care about are tailgating in the parking lot and watching the game from a seat. You seem to have a fixation on the outer facade of the stadium, like a big concrete bowl in the shape of a weird octagon with pretty stucco makes a difference to any player or fan. It doesn't. What matters is what takes place on the inside. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Sharing a stadium is not an issue. Sharing a stadium that looks like a giant air conditioner is a huge issue. I agree with SAR on a lot of this, but not the aesthetics issue. It's an awful looking stadium and the fact that they paid over a $1 billion and didn't even put a roof to justify the cost is absurd.

I have no issue w/ that. it's more the design, we got a tin can as a stadium. Again, no one cares about the exterior of the stadium. MetLife looks like a skyscraper. Quite appropriate.

I'm waiting to read all your very dramatic posts. I bet your family wishes you were still squatting in your 13 dollar sideline seats at the Dump with HUGE blue GIANTS signs on it.Getting you and your Verdi opera melodrama off your couch and out of the house on Sundays had to be a huge relief to all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying this is you, but it's really fascinating to me how many people who wear Jets gear that is old, tattered, ill-fitting, and stained with mustard, to places outside of the home that aren't a Jets game, are suddenly obsessively concerned about aesthetics and design.
