BwanaZulia Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 When the team was 4 and 12 the season was over. You might have showed up for week one of the postseason but the Jets weren't playing. That is why it was so empty. Damn newbie. I guess I am one of those rich bastards, who goes to every pre-season game, every regular season game and stays till the game clock goes to 0. I sure hope to hell there are no more fans like me in the new stadium. That would suck. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Shocking! Thank you for breaking that story. Remember in the 90's when they said Yankee stadium was falling apart? I think Claudell Washington had a 2nd cousin hit by a piece of falling plaster. It was on the back page of the NY Post. Good thing they are tearing it down now.

Lil Bit Special Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 you guys are aware giants Stadium is falling apart right? http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2007/12/31/2007-12-31_officials_begin_inspection_of_giants_sta.html Yes there are problems. But I blame the NJSEA for not ensuring the best facility possible. It is a joke that a stadium that is 30 years old has broken speakers so we cant hear the announcer or ref. Its a joke that an escalator breaks and injures people. The Vet opened in 1971. and there werent whole sections collapsing. It was a support railing and 8 people were hurt. Dodger stadium is in awesome condition and it is 46 years old. Why? It is maintained well. Also dont forget before the Giants/Jets wanted a new stadium, the Giants were looking to renovate Giants Stadium at a cost of 300 million...

Green DNA Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 An escalator, which is a mechanical part, malfunctions and the stadium is falling apart? If an elevator gets stuck in the new stadium, Bit will be calling for the thing to be demolished and will gladly pay another PSL for the newer new staduim.

If the Jets had built a stadium in NYC (which I was all for by the way) it would have cost them about 1.8 BILLION dollars, all to themselves. Don't dare imagine what PSLs and ticket prices would look like at that point. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Bit Special Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 If the Jets had been able to get a stadium built in NYC (assuming that was their intention all along), would the Giants still be building a new stadium? Yes they would. The Giants began discussing remodeling the old stadium in January 2001, then the ownership of the stadium and other issues clouded the situation. They then began discussing it again in May 2003 and also included a new stadium in July 2004. At that time the Jets Manhattan Stadium was still a possibility. The Jets hope of a new stadium died in June 2005 and came to an agreement with the Giants in Sept 2005. And as BZ said, if the Jets built the West Side Stadium, the PSL's would be out of this world. The price tag back in 2005 was 1.4 billion- new giant stadium- 700 million. So West side would be about 2.2 billion these days at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upside, is that we would have been able to get a Super Bowl, done the Final Four and other things like Convention Expansion, so unlike the new Jets/Giants stadium it could have been used year round.

PSL's may've been more on a WSS, or maybe not. Because of all of this year round use, and the fact that the Jets would've been splitting that additional income with no one. The fact that a Manhattan stadium would've attracted even higher naming rights fees (again, not split). The Jets would've gotten a significantly larger amount of income from the WSS than they will from Giants Stadium II. And the Jets would've been the highest valued franchise in the NFL, as opposed to being the only team in the league that's the second team in it's own stadium. I admit, they probably would've been higher. Because they could've gotten away with it. But it's not a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
