FlagmanL11 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Got to say very poor showing by Jets fans overall, far too many fish fans. Tickets were cheap, perfect tailgate and football weather and entire rows in the upper deck were empty with many open seats in the Mezz and lower level. We need the so called fans to get off their couch and get to the stadium. Its embarrassing when you bring new people to the game and they say it looks like a preseason crowd. Let have a better showing for the Steeler game. No excuses Jet fans...... Tickets we will be cheap and last time this decade you can you go to the stadium. 3 3 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets723 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Tickets were cheap. I got mine for 6 bucks but I was literally at the very top. It’s funny I went with my son and we were sitting there like 5 minutes before tipoff and it was dead up there. Then all of a sudden it got pretty busy. Unfortunately it was a pain in the ass because the whole first quarter people were filing in and standing around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - But, I went to Pittsburgh a few years ago, and there was plenty of Jets green in the stands. This is the nature of football games today. Tickets are available online, all of the teams markets are national, you as a fan can go to any game, in any stadium, any time you like. Sure, it's easier in a lost season, but as someone who's gone to one road game a year for about a dozen years now, this is not a Jets only issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way busier than in my parents' time. It's not a lot of fun to burn a whole day like this. And while younger people can do it, if the team isn't good it's not a priority. Jets have not had a home playoff game in going on 2 decades. Giants aren't drawing much better. And really the new stadium isn't a better experience than your couch for a whole host of reasons that we've trod over forever. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower level end zone seats were as low as $15 yesterday. I have never seen them that low, that is crazy. The Steelers game might be the worst game in terms of ratio of opposing fans in this stadium.

I have seriously modified my entire life around it. Football Sunday we are there as soon as the parking lot opens and we are one of the last to leave. We tailgated before the game and ate dinner after the game. The financial decision I made years ago to buy and RV was based in large part on using it 8 times a year to tailgate. So I can't imagine any other way for me personally. I know others don't feel the same way, my kids are older now so it is easier. But I went when they were young, we just steered them away from fall sports that involved a Sunday. I totally get that others don't enjoy going. I talk to a lot of people that hate going. But there are a ton of people that don't go because of the price. So to your point, those people should have been there yesterday. I honestly think some people didn't realize how low ticket prices were. In the past we have done ticket giveaways and there have been people begging for free tickets. Some of those weeks I looked and see tickets for $20. Always amazed me that the same person who wrote two pages on going to a Jets game being a life long dream wouldn't spend $20 to fulfill said dream lol. I do realize that face value is too much for a lot of people. No shame in that, money can easily be better spend elsewhere. $15 seats though, jump on that. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shuler82 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 It’s another lost season for a franchise that hasn’t been relevant in a decade. Simple as that. Why waste an entire Sunday on it?

RoadFan Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I used to beat up the "home" fans for not being loud enough, showing up late, etc. Not anymore. How can anyone expect them to kill a whole day to show up and watch this? Yesterday sounded like even though they won, it wasn't entertaining. I read this board. But I have only watched 5 games this season. Something that would have been unimaginable 5 years ago. I discontinued Directv Sunday ticket. I don't go to the bar. They are not worth my time... and certainly not worth my money. Shame... because Le'Veon Bell is my favorite player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inconsistency is an issue but an improved oline will help next year. Do you know the last time a Jets QB averaged over 20 points per game? 1954. Seriously look it up, hasn't happened to a Jets QB since the mid 1950's. I mean, they weren't a team yet but still. I do seriously hope someone looks up previous team points per game averages for Jets QBs. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me like the non-ticket holders (and that includes all you "former" season ticket holders) do most of the complaining about the crowd having so many opposing fans. I love the irony in that they blame the current ticketholders for something that they themselves contribute to. Can't make it up. We've all read it on this forum multiple times how it's the STH that are causing all the problems.

jgb Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Idea. Part 1: those who don’t want to go don’t malign those that do for “wasting money or time or giving incentive to a poor team.” Part 2: those who go to the games don’t question the loyalty of those who opt out in a lost year. To each his own. Pretty simple. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
