124 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Am I mistaken or did I heard the new GREEN & WHITE stadium? Muwahahha, it will be Jets colors so **** you Giants fans, get outta our house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeWillie Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Mixed feelings about this ... A new stadium is always exciting initially, but the fans, especially us season ticket holders will bear the brunt dearly. Can you spell PSL? Ughhh.

Gen X Jet Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 $1.4 billion for a stadium in a swamp and without a roof?? Can you say padded pockets all around? Bet your bottom dollar this stadium will be built with 100+ unions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 They should use Non-Union labor for this project to allow the completion of it by the 2008 season. Why would Non-Union labor work so fast in NJ, because the workers would be so scared for their lives they'd want nothing but to finish and leave.

I don't want to make this a union vs non union thread. But being a union worker, I just want to get my hands on that project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 there is no way in hell it is a green and white stadium.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 there is no way in hell it is a green and white stadium.. They will do something like what we have now IM sure just on a larger scale, whichever team is playing will have the stadium decorated in that theme... you could make it look Green and White for JETS home games...

4HCrew Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I agree ecurb but not going to be like the jets have any advantage over the Giants..it is what it is, the jets are sharing a stadium, a home that is truly not theirs all alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but at least there wont be HUGE GIANTS letters right over the tacked on JETS banner anymore... its still an upgrade over what we currently have... and as you will see next year, when we play the Giants as an "away" team our players get the perk of 9 home games... At least this time around it wont look like we taped up JETS logos everywhere on the GIANTS stadium... it will look like our stadium when we play and theirs when they play...

4HCrew Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I think actually the biggest advantage with the new stadium is that their complex will not be over an hour away for the team. The trek from LI to NJ has been a major inconvenience that will now go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trek from LI to NJ has been a major inconvenience that will now go away. Yes that will be a big help, I have heard of players moaning about that trip... calling it an "away" game at home... Should be a nice stadium, and now that its actually shared rather than being rented by us... it might actually look more like our own on gamedays...

Cant Hackett Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 lets hope this facility has escalators which Gillette does not But Gillette did have nice cup holders for your beers. That will be worth the PSL :wink: Parking will be a nightmare next year with the constrution underway near the race track. I guess I will have to get there the same time as you 4h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4HCrew Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 ok ecurb you are either a triathlete or have not sat upstairs too long. That was a royal pain in the a$$ getting to seats in Gillette. As for you Hackett, what would you do without your morning workout? you would not be all pumped up beer pong then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Bit Special Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 For over a Billion dollars they should install color changing seats, so when the Jets play they are Green and when the Giants play they are blue.... And they should have teleportation to our seats from the parking lots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
