Trotter Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 One other thought. what about the indoor field at fp? I think that is the same surface as MetLife and they practice on that constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is some fancy glass but I don’t watch games from a drone outside the building 500 yards away. If your goal is to pack 80k racing fans into a classic style stadium with perfect sight lines… Metlife wins and captures what a true sports fan would care about. If you like pretty glass and cool angular steel… sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are sighting sightlines at Metlife as a plus .. you have NEVER been to the upper level. Its one of the most lacking stadiums I have ever been to in this regard.

Barry McCockinner Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 5 hours ago, Beaver said: What new turf are they putting in? Going to grass? going with astro turf. seriously though - there are different types of field turf and one specific type was shown to have more injuries on it than others. The NFLPA asked all teams using that type to replace it with the other type. We of course had the injury turf. that's my vague recollection of why it's being replaced - possible I got some details wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I know people are full of sh*t because they claim somehow Giants stadium was better. That was an actual dump. Oh ok, so now we move the goal posts? It’s all about winning all of a sudden? The Jets were winning in 2010 and everybody hated the new place except you and Sar. Wait, how many home playoff games have you been to in MetLife again? Extremely happy with myself for dropping the Jets out of the plane after the 2007 season. 1978-2007 lol they wouldn’t stop calling me for 3 years after that. And I could care less what you think about giants stadium. (Watch me not get butt hurt) It was a HUGE upgrade from a real sh*thole (Shea stadium) and I went to every home playoff game there (85 patriots,86 chiefs,98 jax and 2002 Indy). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your goal is to pack 80k racing fans into a classic style stadium with perfect sight lines… Metlife wins and captures what a true sports fan would care about. If you like pretty glass and cool angular steel… sorry I agree that what it looks like from the outside is somewhat immaterial, and is better left up to people who are better informed about that kind of thing. (And my brother is an architect, I worked with architects, and worked for their association, the AIA, for 7 years.) But I also own up to having pretty poor taste in many things. My big objection to MetLife is that you have be a bird of prey to see anything from the upper deck, where a low budget low life like ... myself would be seated. Bad enough you can't read the jersey names, but you can hardly see the numbers. I get it - they wanted a second row of luxury boxes, which raised the entire upper bowl. But I think there still must have been a better way - and I hate to suspect that it was a budgetary, rather than a construction design problem that led to it being built the way it is.

If you like pretty glass and cool angular steel… sorry Eh, swirling winds? 1) this is the first time I ever heard about the anti wind design, you just make this up? 2)That was Shea stadium with swirling winds and garbage tornadoes. Giants stadium was enclosed just like MetLife, but had a garage door beyond the end zone exit that when left open would create a wind effect. I think parcells was the only coach to use it to his advantage with the giants. Jets coaches were too stupid to figure it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
