Rikers Island

IF the Jets did this, they would have to change their philosophy on who they draft and pursue in F/A.  Would have to WELCOME guys like Deshaun Watson, Antonio Brown, Vontez Burflict.....

Not to mention, we would have to put prison stripes on the uniforms.

 

OH!  And an absolute must:  Drafting a player with the last name RIKER.  

OH!  And we would have to get Jonathan Franks to do commercials in his Star Trek uniform.

Name it Longest Yard Stadium 

Or take back our original name Titans.  Obviously not happening. Still love the Jets name. Its all I really knew/know.  Was to young when they were the Titans although its pretty cool many went on to stay when they switched to the Jets.

Pipe dream. Not a very conveneitn location plus the traffic between the  Triboro and Lagaurdia is a nightmare. No public transportation space 1 city bus line. As of now there's 1 2 lane bridge to the island. The planes in and out of Laguardia are closer and louder than at Shea. Hard pass.

Just to get materials onto Rikers to build a stadium will be cost prohibitive especially if they put a dome on it which would be a good idea since if you thought Shea was cold during frigid December games Rikers is 10x worse Also Rikers is not closing anytime soon if ever This is From someone who worked on Rikers for 27 years and hearing they are closing it for about 20 of those years it’s not happening.
