Popular Post UntouchableCrew Posted August 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2020 In recent years Metlife has been 50% opposing fans anyway. It's a weird disparity but I don't actually think it will have that big of an impact. Plus, when we play the Dolphins half of those 13k fans will be wearing green and white anyway. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico002 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 So.... we can expect 13000 jets fans when we head down to Miami? I agree they is unfair to the Dolphins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Willie White Shoes Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 13,000. fans with masks in a stadium that hold 80,000 is going to provide a competitive advantage? Seriously? The Jets can pipe in artificial crowd noise that will provide a greater advantage than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? The Jets can pipe in artificial crowd noise that will provide a greater advantage than that. Agreed. I also think the lack of fans is going to be a big advantage for the Jets because going to Buffalo, KC, Indy, Seattle and NE without fans (or even minimal fans) levels the playing field for a team that rarely has much of a home field advantage and often gets booed after a bad half. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the Dolphins will have pods/sections for no more than 6 people and socially distanced. Not sure how fun that would be, but at least it's something.

Jetster Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 This is ridiculous. You can go into Supermarket, a bar, a gym, a message parlor, get your haircut, but you can’t social distance at a stadium that holds over 80,000 people not even close to capacity? ? Im glad other cities are allowing it, it just makes the rule seem asinine as it should look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 https://www.nfl.com/news/sean-mcdermott-inconsistency-nfl-attendance-policies-ridiculous Sean McDermott: Inconsistency in attendance policies is 'ridiculous' Published: Aug 24, 2020 at 11:59 AM Nick Shook Around The NFL The list of coaches unhappy with opposing attendance allowances is growing. Less than a week after Vikings coach Mike Zimmer made his gripes about a potential disadvantage as the visiting team amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Bills coach Sean McDermott voiced similar displeasure Monday. "I think it's honestly ridiculous that there will be, on the surface, what appears to be a playing field that's like that -- inconsistently across the league with the different away stadiums," McDermott said, via ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques. McDermott's response was in relation to the Monday news that fellow AFC East rival Miami will be hosting a limited capacity total of 13,000 fans for the Dolphins' Week 2 home opener set to be played against -- you guessed it -- the Buffalo Bills. NFL teams have taken a logical approach to the issue of whether they can invite fans to their stadiums in 2020 with a variety of results being produced. Some teams, like the Raiders, won't have fans at all this season, which is of course disappointing for a team moving into a brand-new stadium in a new market. Others, like the Lions and Broncos, announced fans won't attend some of their early games, while leaving room for changes later in the season. The Dolphins are one of the fortunate franchises that will welcome roughly 20 percent of their fans to their stadium for their first home contest. Zimmer's and McDermott's points aren't entirely wrong, because 13,000 fans will make more of an impact than zero fans, even if that impact is much less than a typical home crowd. But in this unprecedented time, very little seems to be all that fair. It's likely McDermott won't be the last coach to voice his opinion on this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Makes little difference the teams with the best players and coaches will win.
