TuscanyTile2 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 14:29: "The next one is MetLife Stadium (sarcastic laugh), opening in 2010, home to the Giants and the Jets. So this is a brutal stadium located in East Rutherford. Fans are not a fan of this location and also just the stadium. It's completely closed off. It is very bland. There is nothing special about it. It is extremely depressing. And I would guess the Jets probably move out and get their own stadium sometime in the early 2030s. I'm guessing the stadium gets demolished relatively quickly. It's already on the verge of being obsolete. And the Giants will probably stay there but it is an eyesore to look at so I'll say probably gets demolished in 2055, even with the investment they've made into it" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trotter Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 my guess is there is an agreement to cosmetically change the outside of the stadium to make it more appealing to those that care about asthetics. Look at the mall next to it. For years there were demands to tear it down because of how ugly it is. Finally after about 10 years, they went away from the stupid cosmetic look it had and now it is actually pretty successful. the other items that bother people are the upper deck being so far away, don't like the inside concourses etc. are there for the duration. A consistent winning product on the field will make those more tolerable. Short of some type of miracle in finance, that stadium has at least another 20 years left with or without the Jets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at it from a Celtics perspective. The new owner is going to shell out 5+ billon for a team. Incur a nice salary tax of 500 million, for one season and then be a tenant at an arena he does not own. Thus, limiting his ability to the team's incoming money. Without Ballmer type money, can Woody fund a stadium that is not at least partially subsidized by the state (NY or NJ)? That is assuming the state would be willing to even do this. Probably not on both points. A Chiefs 'stadium tax failed in MO, but passed in KS. Is Woody happy with the status quo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRy56 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 The best thing to happen this off-season is the head of steam that the Jets moving off of MetLife has picked up. The team can’t get out of there and get into their own stadium fast enough 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLV Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I am completely apathetic about the upcoming nightmare season coming up but opting out would at least give me some hope that our leadership can adapt and finally become a winning organization.
