NIGHT STALKER Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 That would have to be a joint decision by the Jets and those other guys that occupy that dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjasi Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It's getting so much bad press that both teams have to at least consider it, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirorob Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 For sure they should replace it. Watching Miami yesterday, they lost a lot of player on natural grass. Either the way players train today, or the lack of padded practice is leading to people not being ready to play, and massive injuries. Less Jets got hurt in the old Meadowlands on the concrete then they have lost the last few year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 They have not followed my marshmellow field idea yet for some reason. I have things all ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extmenace Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 turning into a PR nightmare. I don't know how hard it is to switch from turf to grass but I'm betting it just cant happen over a couple of weeks. My guess would be, if the decision is made, they'd announce it this offseason and make the changes the following year. Just my gut speaking. Has there been any other instances in recent history where a team went from turf to grass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BARON Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Even better question. Are the Jets going to replace MetLife Stadium when the lease is up ??? Two NYC franchises sharing expenses on one stadium and that vapid POS of a stadium is the best they could do ??? For an enterprising owner with a vision, a NYC stadium should be an obsession. I have been insisting since the west side stadium project was scrapped, new land on the west side should be willed into existence. That's right. Expand Manhattan island with a landfill project and build a dedicated stadium to the Jets that includes an entire companion complex. I can just see it now. A stadium light up with colors and lights as wild as Times Square. A flashy "BROADWAY" stadium that would give the NEW YORK Jets the identity they should have. Such a complex could also be used for concerts and even Olympic games. Woody could put up some of the investment money which will of course make more money in the future and he can lobby for state and even federal money (infrastructure). Too bad Woody does not have the drive and creativity of a true visionary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
