I've been to a number of Jets games over the years, but the novelty of going to live Jets games, has definitely worn off for me. I have more important things, to spend my money on. I like the view of the game far better, on my 65" HD Flat Screen TV - plus there's no traffic and no drunken fools to deal with. If the Jets ever make it to another superbowl while I'm still alive, I'll do my best to get tickets for "THAT" game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been to many Jets games over the years home and away, I will say with total certainty that watching from home on a big screen is better. Live games are fun, but for viewing the game itself TV is just better. But I'm taking my kids to the Jets v Jax game this year since its close and they've never been to a FB game. They LOVE Baseball, I've taken them to a lot of Spring Training and A-league Ball games and they really like it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you must have primo seats to even make that statement. My family had season tickets on the 40 yard line, 12 rows from the field. I was at a Jets/ Miami game when the Jets beat Dan Marino 51-45 in overtime, with Wesley Walker catching a bomb and running into the end zone for the win. That game was exhilarating to actually witness it in person. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetLife blows. I remember back in 2011 (mid-November) paying around $500.00 for a seat mid-field, about 9 rows behind the Jets bench, at Metlife Stadium when the Jets were taking on the Patriots - the Jets were 4-0 at home up to that point. The train ride in sucked and while the seats were great, as far as the view that I had, the Jets played like absolute garbage & got shellacked 37-16, which was their 1st home loss of the season. That was the first & last time, I made the trip out to MetLife Stadium, what a miserable experience, which wound costing me about $750.00 altogether - that would be a little over $1,049.00 today. Thanks, but no thanks. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had season tickets starting in 1986 through the first 2 years of MetLife. I saw a lot of good games in the Old Giants stadium. Sure they had to wrap it in green and it was named "Giants Stadium" but it was so much better than the "Air Conditioner." I have a tie for my most enjoyable live Jets game. The first is the 1998 season playoff win over the Jags in sub freezing temps. I rented an RV for the game and they gave us antifreeze to pour into the sh*tter for everyone someone took a leak. I dressed so warm that day that I actually had to take a layer off during the game. I was sweating! That was a great win on what I thought was going to be a super bowl run 😞 The other game was the 2002 team that beat the living snot out of Manning's Colts. That was an all out party the entire game. Definitely one of the most dominant playoff performances from a Jets team, it not the most. The stadium was deafeningly loud all game. What a feeling that was! Good times for sure 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just love to announce how they are done and over with live game attendance. It's interesting. Must be like 3 or 4 of you every year or so. Not sure of the motives behind telling everyone but the reality is nobody really cares if you go to games or not or why for that matter. This is a thread started by an excited fan from Great Britain who is attending his first game.. Jets game. So your motive is to piss on his excitement? Otherwise why post that in his happy thread? Makes no sense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
