(UPDATE: The Jets have ultimately decided against putting cutouts of fans in the stands for games at MetLife Stadium, NJ Advance Media has learned. The organization considered it. But it remains unclear if the Jets will do something like the Giants are doing — putting season ticket holders’ names on seat covers behind the end zones.) 

Fans won’t be able to attend Jets or Giants games this season at MetLife Stadium — at least not initially — due to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

But the players still might be able to see your face when they look up into the stands. Or maybe your kid’s face. Or your dog’s face.

 

That’s because the Jets are thinking about doing what Major League Baseball teams have done — let fans buy cardboard cutouts that will be placed in seats.

 

The Jets have discussed doing the cardboard cutouts, but no final decision has been made, NJ Advance Media has learned.

 

The Giants, meanwhile, won’t be putting fans’ faces on cutouts. The organization has already made that decision. The Eagleshave yet to formally announce if they will or won’t have fans this season, so they’re not to the point of pondering fan cutouts.

The Titans are already going forward with the cutouts:

 
 

Baseball fans have gotten creative with these cutouts. Some fans even put their kid or dog on them. And it’s particularly amusing to see one of the cutouts — they’re not actually made of cardboard, but rather, more weatherproof material — get nailed with a home-run ball.

 

 

 

Though the Giants aren’t doing the faces-on-cutouts thing, they’re letting fans do something similar, to have their names displayed at MetLife Stadium.

 
 

The Giants sent an email to season ticket holders that contained this blurb:

 

“We are offering you the opportunity to have your account name printed alongside other season ticket members on Giants-branded signage being added to the seating area behind the end zones for games this season.”

More specifically, fans’ names will be printed on seat coverings in the end zone for Giants home games.

The ought to put up cardboard cutouts of all the crappy draft picks since 1980. The place will be SRO.?

They probably figured that someone would try to do such a thing, hence canning the plan.

How bout let human fans watch the game at 60% capacity, every other seat, with mandatory masks? Dumbasses.

The owners would love that.  So would I. 

The problem?  The fans can't be trusted.  What I've seen in my town, at my schools, and at my grocery store tell me that 20,000 fans at MetLife Stadium would be a burping farting petri dish. 

These are people who drink themselves blotto hours before the game, piss on cars, get to their seats halfway through the first quarter, drink some more, piss some more, then leave halfway through the fourth quarter.  Cursing, stumbling, mumbling, entitled.  Trust these geniuses to respect social distancing and wear masks?  Put my life and my kids lives in the hands of these idiots?  Not happening.

Thats why you triple security health care employees that stand at each row and demand thet follow the rules or be escorted out. Easily fixed.

I knew it. Your fandom is nothing but an ACT. 

True fans would brave the plague to watch their beloved team. You're just a fair-weather schmuck. 

 

PS. Chad pennington was a good QB.

How about just go on with life and what will happen will happen. Its in God's hands and if it's my time its my time. I'm going to live while I'm alive, plenty of time to be dead for eternity.
