Very early, very non-concrete nugget: the Jets have had talks about moving to Queens.

[Jerichoholic]

As we've never managed to be kings of New York, maybe Queens isn't so bad.

Not at all… I agree with you. I don’t think it’s happening either, so I certainly wasn’t laughing at you.

Everyone in the NY area has posted they’d love to see it happen. No surprise there. I still have a home up on Long Island, I would too.

The more realistic among us know it won’t.

(and let’s not act like NJ would be so quick to accommodate the Jets for 3 years if they did try to move. The Oakland A’s are going to be forced to play 3 years in a minor league ball park while they hope Vegas builds them a stadium).

They don’t require NJ to accommodate them.  The bigger obstacle is deciding if they want to add the $ it will take to move to Queens, either paying for part of the expanded soccer stadium or to lease a stadium when they already own 1/2 of their stadium. Will they?  Who knows but the source is credible, not a nobody.  Claims Woody is sick of the Giants getting in the way of improvements like going to a grass field, a dome etc.

My father had an old beater car we used to take into the city for games at Shea back in the day. We always parked near those chop shops because my old man refused to pay for parking at the stadium. I hadn’t thought about that in years…wow. 

Same here.  My Grandfather and I would walk to the games in good weather (lived near the LIE/GCP about 1 mile from stadium.) He used to drive in inclement weather and park near the chops under the whitestone expwy for free.  Still had to walk about 1/2 mile.  But he didn't pay for parking!

I'm a Flushing born Jet fan that some how ended up in NJ, but even with Met Life closer to me this seems like it would be a dream come true for the franchise. Grass and retractable roof...

Would immediately become a major concert destination in off-season too. 

same here.  Grew up in Forest Hills, right near LIE/Corona.  Somehow wound up in NW NJ. I would travel to Queens to games there....  No problem.  Obviously more convenient for me if they stay here, but I get it.  Ive been here since 1984 and that place has zero personality.  None. It sucked in Giants Stadium and it sucks with co-ownership as well. For me, it's just a convenient ride.  I hope they blow the ugly air conditioner up one day. Really... physical appearance is important.  MetLife is like a misplaced hobo in a formal gathering.

Getting to MetLife is a nightmare 

This type of stuff is very interesting to me for some reason.  How long does it take for various NYers to get to MetLife?  I assume there are no subways/trains that go out there so it’s all driving?

When I went to LA for a Dodger game a few summers ago, I spent 30 minutes talking to a 30 year season ticket holder who drove 90 minutes each way to attend games, from 8 miles away!  That blew my mind.  I asked how he could handle that traffic and he said he doesn’t even notice, it’s just how it’s been his entire life.  Which I suppose is true.

I live 20 miles from Iowa City.  I would imagine there are more commuters to Iowa City on a game day than East Rutherford on a Jets game.  That said, I can leave my house at 10, drive down, walk about 15 minutes and be in my seat 5 minutes before kickoff for an 11 kick

It’s a good question.  IMO, people who say this kind of stuff are talking out of their bums.  Getting out of the parking lot of MetLife is difficult only if you leave immediately after the game ends.  You’ll sit there, like any other sports stadium parking lot, waiting to get filtered through the exits.   If you wait 45 minutes, though, there’s really no problem at all.

Getting there by car is super easy.  MetLife is surrounded by major highway arteries on all sides.  If you’re driving and you make good plans (e.g., you get there there NOT 30 minutes before kickoff), it’s really a piece of cake. 

If you’re coming from the city, the bus from Port Authority on 42nd street is the best option.  Takes literally 20 minutes door to door (and it drops you pretty close to me and @Maxman’s tailgate)

Admittedly, the Jets/Giants/NJ Transit (a veritable triumvirate of ****-ups) totally botched the train situation to and from MetLife.  It’s slow, there’s not enough of them, and you have to connect at Secaucus to get back to NYC.  Just a totally sh*tty system.

 

[Jets and Redskins]

This has been rumored for awhile. I think they wanted to put a casino there as well.

 I think it was a mets and jets studium as in two studium and a casino in queens. I don't know if it will happen but there some smoke. 

I think I first heard about this when they acquired Rogers. I think if they start winning they would try to parlay that into a new studium. After his injury you did not hear anything about the move. I think they have been gunning to get back into NY since the west side studium did not happen. If they do well this year this will pick up steam. It would probably take 5 year to build the place?

 maybe thats where Cohen wants to put the Casinos he is trying to get.

well if he really wants to do this then Cohen better resign Alonzo and sign Soto to make the Mets more attractive. and Woody better get this done before Rodgers retires and we trout out there some nobody rookie QB and pray hes not another Zach Wilson otherwise all the money in the world wont make people come there.

 Part of getting Rogers I think was for this.  They have to get fans to buy psl again.

trains from Manhattan go to stadium. But folks from Bklyn, Queens, LI inevitably drive.  The problem for Long Islanders and Queens is the two toll bridges they have to go over and of course the horrendous Cross Bronx.

They aren't moving.

Woody Johnson is 77 years old. He doesn't want to spend the next 6 years on a new stadium.

He wants Aaron Rodgers to win a Super Bowl here so he can change his narrative as an owner.

 The stadium could be his legacy. He wanted the Westside stadium. If they do win superbowl that would be time to try and get it.

Unfortunately, he may want this more then winning. Johnson and Johnson stadium?

Getting from Brooklyn to MetLife, maybe 12 miles apart, usually takes me 4-6 hours round trip. Both on public transit and by car. It’s a nightmare.

I think the only reason people are aggravated is because they’re sick of their intellect being constantly insulted both by ownership and by the moles ownership place on the internet and in the press, while never producing a single positive result on the field. At least craft a decent lie and tell us it would be somewhere in the Long Island city area.

I’ve been posting here since I was 13 years old, just sh*t on pretty much every single decision the Jets made over the course of the draft, and can assure you that I am no mole, lmfao.

I think people are glancing over the fact that I said that I personally believe that this is all a leverage play, despite the fact that the source who gave it to me thinks it’s more likely to happen.  I still wanted to share it regardless because:

a.) It’s interesting.

b.) If I’m right and this is just a play for MetLife upgrades, that’s a pretty big deal.

I think the powers at be cave, the Jets stay, and that our giant AC unit in the swamps of New Jersey gets spruced up.  We'll know how serious these talks are and how far the Jets are willing to go next spring.

  Keep posting your stuff it's good and useslly right on the money. There differently some smoke here. They could stay in new jersey but there alot of swinging parts to this. The Mets, Jets, and casino have all been rumored to be involved.

Your source may know more then they are leading on? See if your source has anymore info?

We can only hope but if the plan is to keep in the family long term, Christopher is only 64 I believe.

I live in Middlesex County and getting to MetLife is a breeze from where I’m at. If the New Yorkers in this thread could please bottle up your commuting to the stadium tears so I can drink them I’d appreciate it. This is great.

Well much easier to build a stadium in Queens vs Manhattan. Plus you have Steve Cohen. He's trying to develop that area of Flushing build a casino etc which could be a big money enterprise. Not sure if Woody would sell team to Cohen but he could get a big money offer from him.

Agree for the most part. The train is awful; they didn't think thru making it one seat with no transfer from Penn Station to Metlife? 

Had tickets with a group, some in Brooklyn, others in LI and Jersey. Gave up post PSL after season 3 of Metlife.

Disagreement about roads, access. The new stadium did in fact make getting in and out a pain in the ass. It does take longer, with a needlessly complicated parking tier system. And the stadium itself has the worst ingress/egress of any stadium I have ever been to. And it's not close. No spirals because some silly people did something; how moronic. And why it is they don't have enough security such you need to be at the gate by 12:15 to be in your seat by 1PM; again, idiotic. People are paying no small amount of $; they're your customers. You could treat them better than prison inmates.  One of my sons is an electrician and forgot he had a tool in his coat pocket. he doesn't even drink , not a threat to throw it at anyone. Was treated like a terrorist. Congratulations, security; you have made sure a guy with some disposable income will never darken your stadium ever again. 

[Rangers9]

I don't like driving there. One time I went with 2 of our kids after game much traffic he follows WAZE religiously which took us off highway a big mistake we hit even more traffic. I'll look into the bus but despite NJT probs and you have to switch trains it's not direct still take train.

  Between Johnson and Cohen they probably have enough political power to get it done. I think as you said it's alot easier to make things move in queens vs Manhatten. I dont think he would sell. Another big part is the casino who would own that? 

 I think either the NYG owner or the Steelers owner owns the place in Westchester that place makes more money then you could imagine. I am sure both Cohen and Johnson would want that casino maybe they partner up. Alot of moving parts if this is going to happen.

No argument from you about the dumbass parking layout, and DEFINITELY no argument about the ingress/egress to the stadium itself (which I have complained about forever) or literally any other complaint about MetLife generally.  I’m simply defending the location of the sports complex.  Nothing else about it.  In a perfect world for me they’d demolish that sh*thole and try again in the same parking lot, this time building something good.
