Staying with friends, free tickets, etc. We'll see, there is a slight chance I go. Or I tell my friend to take me fishing instead. The later would be more exciting even if we didnt catch anything. Three acre private lake stocked 10 years with LM + SM Bass. Crazy natural pan fish with freakishly large black Crappie. 17 miles south of D.C. Just saying.

VERY on the defensive about this year's prospects and immediately brought up and defended Hackenberg, quite funny. The youth movement was needed and this team should be great in 2 years time. LOL!!! He said to call back in 2 weeks when they tally up what new inventory will be available, lol, and they have a better idea of where everyone is moving around to. Apparently lots of people are scrambling and others, like myself, are pushing for upgrading their respective seats. My rep is ALWAYS defensive about the Jets and how it'll be different this year, .

Since this is a total re build it is in our best interest to loose every game. Can you go to a game cheer them on knowing each time they win it sets back the franchise even further? If not for spending time with my father , I would have just walked away from it all this year but the 40 years of attending games together makes it very tough to do. Wait, Macc actually said that?

Lith Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I take a couple of road trips every year and this year will be no different. I don't expect them to be good, and I don't expect them to win many games, but they are still my team and I still want to see them play. The road trips will still be fun: meeting up with friends, tailgates, the games. Yup, still planning to do a couple of trips. One of those trips is always a weekend with my son. He is out on his own, married and has his own life now. Our Jets weekend is a chance for the two of us to get away and spend a weekend together. We have done 1 trip a year for about the last 10 seasons (more in playoff years, so this year will be just one). It does not matter if the team is competitive or not, they are not taking that weekend away from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fibonacci Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I realized I didn't answer this question even though I replied twice on this thread. Yes I will definitely go to at least 2-3 home games and probably 1 road game this year. I love seeing Green and White. I love seeing my team play. Win or lose, I will always watch this team.

Gas2No99 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 It just got a whole lot easier to grab an Uber at MetLife stadium EAST RUTHERFORD -- Sports fans and concertgoers are going to find it a lot easier to get an Uber ride after an event at MetLife Stadium, reports say. Representatives from Uber and MetLife on Thursday morning announced a new partnership that will give guests a more convenient way to grab an Uber after an event, according to a report by NJBiz.com. People will be able to grab an Uber at a dedicated pick-up zone located in Lot E, the report said. Guests are also being offered their first ride free of up to $20 by using the code METLIFE2017. Jim Kirkos, president and CEO of the Meadowlands Regional Chamber of Commerce, said the partnership made sense on many levels, the report said. Sarfraz Maredia, general manager of Uber, said the company was excited to offer patrons an affordable way to go to a football game or see their favorite band without having to drive themselves, according to NJBiz.com.

At this point the fun is seeing IF any of these young players that have been thrusted into titular roles can step up and demonstrate they BELONG in the NFL and whether this CS can 1) Develop young raw talent and 2) actually show improvement or we'll see a new coaching regime by February '18. 2 That sounds like preseason.

NoBowles Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I won't go to any games, and it has nothing to do with how bad they will be this year. I absolutely detest the new stadium, and the prices are out of control. I was a season ticket holder from the 70's until the last year at Giants stadium, have been to 2 game since, and find it much more enjoyable to watch the game at home now. Have a few friends over, hang out, have some beers, and watch them lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deucebag Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 22 hours ago, section314 said: Do you mean going to tailgate with family and friends, or actually go inside ? EXCELLENT POINT - I say everyone should still tailgate, drink ourselves to oblivion, eat ourselves to gluttony, then vomit, poop and pee in front of the entrance gates. It is my ultimate dream come true to see -0- attendance and -0- concession sales for every Jets home game this year. Woodyi has been a nightmare owner who is clueless with regard to running a football team. I wish we could send Woodyi Johnson, Jeff and Fred Wilpon and James Dolan gift-wrapped to ISIS.

Good riddance. my father got tickets in the early 1970s and we have had seats ever since-I got us pls and in 40 plus years have missed only a handful of games-I even would do the drive back to NJ during my college years which was nuts at it was 8 hours each way. I in theory wanted to walk away this year eating many thousands of dollars in psl and season ticket charges-I casually threw the idea out to my father and I could tell he wanted to hang in again this year-it has been our bonding for decades so it is a hard thing to walk away from although sure we could do other things would not be the same. we both are beyond disgusted with Woody and the team in general at all levels from owner to gm to coach to poor lazy players-I feel we are like stockholm syndrome folks in that we are stuck in a bad situation and almost like the misery of it. I think after this season and seeing what the next draft bring us-if not legit franchise caliber qb the end will be upon us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
