Popular Post kmnj Posted May 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2019 hi does anybody know how this work etc... my dad was a jet fan since the titans early days and has been a fan ever since-i would argue he probably attended more jet games than any fan in the history of the jets he passed away recently in a car accident and i got to thinking maybe I would try to get him in it as I think he might have liked that. the one regret he had was when the jets made it to superbowl three that he did not find a way to come up with the money to go-he often told the story of no problem I will just go next time but as all of us jet fans know that day never came. I have had a love hate relationship with the jets spanning 40+ years since my early childhood but one thing that was consistent was every sunday when there was a home game my dad and I were there watching. We saw some crushing defeats over the years and honestly some terrible football with a few good years mixed in but those sundays even when we got destroyed by other teams we still walked out smiling because it was our thing that we did together. Anyways if anybody has some info on how one would go about it-please let me know here or pm would be fine thanks very much 3 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Condolences man, really sorry for your loss. I have no idea about how to go about it and not sure how game the Jets would be, but I would probably contact the team directly, especially if you're a season ticket holder. I don't know about a Jets Fan HOF but you might be able to get them to mention him on the big screens during one of the games. They occasionally wish some happy birthdays or announce groups that are in attendance from local high schools, a Pee Wee football team, etc. Perhaps they'd put a picture up, mention his passing and thank him for his longtime fandom.

Jetmech Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Sorry for your loss. http:// https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/time-to-nominate-2nd-class-of-jets-fan-hall-of-fameLooks like it opens during a certain time.

Jetster Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 They could just come to this board & pick out the most positive members with the most posts. They should be able to find at least 1 fan here that fits that profile. Maybe..but…probably not. Even the most devoted of us would have said something about Woody Johnson to get us disqualified. That dude IRA is probably the only guy in the NY Jet fan HOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say we have attended the majority of jet home games since the early 70s together when I was a tiny kid and him before me. even as much as a bad mouthed the jets the past few years and almost walked away from it-I never could Sundays watching football with dad was tradition at its finest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem and that’s a long time going to Jets games! I hope your dad gets nominated for the fan HOF considering your family’s fandom!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I am truly so, so sorry for your loss... No need to worry about your dad though. This year and going forward, he'll be there every Sunday, with my father, Dennis Byrd, and all the other faithful who have preceded us. One day, it will be your turn to watch with him again. Until then, you have beautiful memories. G-d Bless you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
