The fact that someone has the audacity to brag about it in a manner to make themselves powerful or look wealthy is pathetic to say the least. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 2 hours ago, joewilly12 said: This is what happens when season ticket holders sell tickets to opposing teams fans. I would eat them or burn them in the fire pit like I have done in years past when Jets fans couldn't attend. The green in the Vikings game pic looks very Kelly green so maybe the NY Jets have been changing the color and we haven't even noticed. This is what happens when a so-called diehard fan from the Giants Stadium era gives up his season tickets the minute Victor Cruz goes 99 yards ending the back-to-back AFC Finalist runs and sending us back to the dark ages. Not only do they give up their season tickets (putting them in the hands of enemy fans) but they also refuse to buy tickets for a measly $25 to see the Sam Darnold Jets in the middle of a 2-0 run at home (putting them in the hands of enemy fans) on a beautiful October day against the Vikings. The people complaining about what they see on TV are the problem. They are what's missing. Their voices aren't heard. Their colors aren't seen. But they blame the good season ticket holders who actually spend the money and buy tickets and show up to 8 games a year. Blame the good Jets fans and pretend the rest of us won't see their bandwagon cheapskate ways. Pathetic. Show up or shut up. SAR I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped going to games when Victor Cruz went 99 yards. Now wants to worm his way back in to events like the Draft Party. Pathetic.

My guess is it was too cold and windy for you to be there and you sold out to opposing teams fans again.

No Jets fan can consider themselves "hardcore" and not make a single effort or two a season to see the team play at this ridiculous prices.

SAR I Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 1 hour ago, playtowinthegame said: Each NFL team's revenue comes from broadcast rights, ticket sales, merchandising and licensing rights. Ticket sales are little more than a rounding error on a typical NFL team’s balance sheet. It’s TV that drives the train. Over 90 percent of self-described NFL fans have never attended a game. According to SAR only 10 percent of all NFL fans are "real" fans. That's about as false a stematenent one could make. Bottom line @SAR I is wrong, and should check himself before alienating the majority of Jets fans with his ridiculous blanket statements regarding who is a "real" Jets fan. You live in Syracuse. You are only 3 hours from MetLife Stadium. Did you make an effort last season? Did you attend 2 or 3 games at $25 a ticket? What about during the Geno Smith era? How many games per year did you attend then when tickets were $15? It's not about the money; it's about the effort. If you didn't make the effort you are not as diehard as season ticket holders who spend 2 hours commuting, 2 hours waiting, and 3 hours watching at the stadium while physically apart from their families. All the pretzels and facepaint in your mom's basement doesn't change that one bit. SAR I 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few outside Jets Fan land will notice or care about it going away. And lets be clear, what we wear in 2018 isn't the exact same as what we wore in 1969 either, it's similar, no more, inspired by, etc. The "never change the 1969 uniforms" idea died in the 70's.

SAR I Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Jet Nut said: One more time. Happens everywhere. The idea that other teams fans dont sell the same general percentage of seats is fake news. Big deal, someone couldnt make the game and sold tickets. In your mind they should have been given away to a Jet fan or a questionnaire handed out to prove that whoever is buying tickets is a Jets fan. When I want to sell my tickets, I sell them. So does any other fan. Anywhere BTW, a picture of a handful of 6 or so Texan fans in a stadium that seats over 80,000 isnt a problem to anyone +1 As people who actually attend games you and I know that there aren't a lot of enemy fans in the building at all, they just show them on TV a lot. Same for Jets fans at road games, by the way. Last year at Detroit you would have thought that 50% of the fans were in green and white the way ESPN catered to the big NY audience. And unlike Detroit, Manhattan is a Top 10 tourist destination in the world and we had podunk fans from Indiana, Colorado, Minnesota, and Wisconsin planning their annual family hillbilly vacations around a trip to see the Statue Of Liberty and a Colts/Broncos/Vikings/Packers road game. It's how it is in the NFL in the Stubhub era with a roaring economy and cheap flights. SAR I 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a home, and when you put 200,000 dollars down on a home, you can get a very very very nice home for 508 dollars a month. Youre not the only person with a lot of money on this board. And by the way, my family has had season tickets since the jets went to the meadowlands. Including MetLife. And my Audi is nicer than a BMW. Sounds like you're just jealous that you never got a chance to see the Frisbee Dogs at halftime back in the day. And MetLife sucks compared to the old meadowlands, based purely on the Frisbee Dogs halftime show. Don't judge people on how they spend their money.

The good thing is that if the jerseys are not great, they can tweak them the next year to make them better, right?

joewilly12 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Any news on what # Le'Veon Bell will wear? Jets sign Le’Veon Bell: When, where, how to buy his new jersey Updated Mar 13, 2019; Posted Mar 13, 2019 AP FILE - In this Sunday, Jan. 14, 2018 file photo, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell carries the ball against the Jacksonville Jaguars during the second half of an NFL divisional football AFC playoff game in Pittsburgh. Defense is the area with the most depth in this year's free agency class, Monday, March 11, 2019. (AP Photo/Don Wright, File) Comment 0shares By Brian Fonseca | For NJ Advance Media The New York Jets signed free-agent running back Le’Veon Bell early Wednesday morning, giving the former Pittsburgh Steeler a four-year contract worth $52.5 million, including $35 million guaranteed. His jersey is not yet on sale, but when it goes up on the shelves, here are the places to buy one for yourself. Buy a Le’Veon Bell jersey and other New York Jets gear at Fanatics.com, NFL Shop, Lids, Champs Sports, Dick's Sporting Goods. As a reminder, the Jets are releasing a uniform update for the 2019 season and beyond on April 4. So if you want a Le’Veon Bell jersey in the current style, hop on the above links and get them while they’re around. Teams cannot officially sign free agents until the new NFL league yearbegins at 4 p.m. eastern time on Wednesday. Jets sign Le’Veon Bell: Winners and losers from big move, including Sam Darnold, Isaiah Crowell, more The New York Jets have signed Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell to a four-year, $52.5 million contract. Bell wore the 26 jersey at his time in Pittsburgh. For those who want to buy the relic before its gone, you’re in luck — Le’Veon Bell Steelers’jerseys are on clearance. If you own a Le’Veon Bell Steelers jersey, you can exchange it here. If Bell wants to keep the 26 jersey with the Jets, he’ll have to give a call and make an arrangement with safety Marcus Maye, who currently wears that number for Gang Green. Bell wore the 24 jersey in his three years in college with Michigan State, but don’t expect that to happen with the Jets. Cornerback Darrelle Revis wore 24 in his time in New York. While the number has yet to be retired, it has not been used since he last played with the Jets in the 2016 season, and it probably won’t be used anytime soon. Jets sign Le’Veon Bell: Did they get him for a good price? Breaking down his contract The New York Jets have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell to a four-year contract. The highest profile free agent on the market this offseason, Bell infuses excitement into a lackluster Jets offense, so expect to see his name across a lot of jerseys at MetLife Stadium for the next four years.
