SAR I Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 6 hours ago, Randy Rasmussen said: Well maybe newbies like you think Fireman Ed is synonymous with the chant. For us old timers who remember Shea and Giants Stadium the chant is synonymous with attending a Jets football game. IMO the best days of the chant were when the team moved from Shea to NJ and a guy who's name is escapes me would start the chant in Section 301 and the guy in the Klecko jersey in the opposite end zone maybe Section 325. That stadium rocked, both guys had to give up their seats if I remember correctly 1 due to health and the other relocated. Ed is a mere newcomer. It is documented that Fireman Ed led the chant for 27 years at the time he hung up the larynx in 2012. So that puts his reign starting back in 1984. If the typical season ticket holder is 45-55 years old, those fans from 1984 are now in their 70's and 80's, not many of them attend games any more. And as the years went by the chant got less and less important, those in their 20's in 1984 are now in their 50's, many gave up their season tickets when they had young kids, some didn't want PSL's, sometimes we lose track of time or fail to recognize that the season ticket population is always moving, always evolving. Point being, to all but the 70 and 80 year olds in the stadium, the chant is synonymous with Fireman Ed and as their opinion of him changes so goes the chant. The chant still lives, it's still happening. It's just a lot quieter than it used to be. It's still there. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a score, you Chanters get huuuuuge volume and never-ending Fireman Ed chants and the rest of those of us who identify as fans can wink at each other and reach out to our friends on Instagram. And, as an added bonus, the app allows you to use the chant as a smartphone alert, so it's J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets! as your daily alarm clock! Whoa baby!

I remember the dueling endzones very well. the East end was always better. I sat in Sec 301 in the old stadium and was next to the guy who lead the chant up there. He was really into it and after many years stopped going and was never seen again. Looked like he def enjoyed the pre game festivities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Rasmussen Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 One shouldn't label. Are you a season ticket holder? SAR I Yes I am a long time season ticket holder, my father and uncle first bought tickets in 1964.They bought 2 tickets each the first year At Shea. When I got old enough my dad started bring me to games in 1967 when I was five.My uncle was a police officer who was severely injured on the job and required a wheelchair to get around and my dad took over his 2 tickets so my cousins could come with us. When the team moved to NJ my dadstopped coming because he hated sitting in traffic and I was able to sell 2 seats to my lifelong friends, now since I have 4 kids of my own I go to 80% of the games. But I've never scalped my tickets once in all those years.The crowd has changed immensely over the years, instead of people sitting and watching the action or lack thereof, people just sit and either watch the annoying scoreboards or have their face buried in their phone. Maybe it's just my section but it seems every week there's different fans sitting around me and not many are paying attention.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmat321 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Miss the chant, but just doesn't work in the new venue. Part of my group, 4 people, are dropping tickets for 2017. Only other group of regs in my section told us they may drop and go Stubhub at the Buffalo game. Thank god for tailgating, all I have to say. They take that away, I'm done.

Then you don't have to sit with other burpers and farters. Your stock will also rise with SAR which is a big plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks, I enjoy the upper deck like I said I was lucky enough to be able to get lower row upper deck tickets. I've sat in friends seats in both the lower level and mezz level seats andI think I like the ability to see the whole field better. Just my opinion, I sat in section 317 at Shea and 313 at Giants. While my seats at metlife are quite a bit higher i feel i can see the plays develop better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetFanWithNOPSL2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 There have been free shuttle buses from the IZOD side since the Jets moved to NJ in 1984. Or someone who was in any sort of non obese human shape could walk from the pedestrian bridge to the SAP gate in around 4 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a 2 beer walk did it once.Id rather stick with the green or yellow parking. Someone who is obese could also benefit from the exercise.
