In NYC, you can take public transportation to Jets/Giants home games.

So that eliminates the paying for parking factor as public transportation from NYC to the Stadium in Jersey coasts like 7-10 bucks tops. Its not that long of a ride either.

I guess in these other cities they build their stadiums in the middle of nowhere :mjpls:

Honestly, it's the secondary market that makes the ticket pricing so bad.

Those "empty" stadiums are sold out most of the time because professional scalpers are trying to sell seats on stubhub etc. and are ok with taking a loss rather than selling seats for face value. The fact that there's companies operating full time reselling tickets is ridiculous. That's part of the reason I say fukk a game. I'm not paying some dude 150 dollars a ticket for seats he paid 40 dollars for. fukk that I'll just chill in a bar or at home
the scandalous thing about that...



teams are the ones hawking those tickets. The Redskins do that.

NJ transit just ain't the same though. It's not like taking the Subway or even the PATH. It's more annoying.

I'm surprised about Cleveland. Even though they do suck, Cleveland fans are known for still being supportive.

True, they should have built the new Giants Stadium is Harrison NJ where the "Red Bull Arena" stadium is at, within walking distance of the PATH, downtown Newark is right across the river, that location would have been :ohlawd: for the Jets & Giants.

They :ufdup: by building the new stadium right next to the old one in the same :flabbynsick: location, kudos to the Devils for moving their arena to Downtown Newark and out of the :scusthov: spot it was at before near where Giants stadium is located at.

Yeah I went to see the Devils a while back, and I was :leon: how efficient the public transportation. I live near 125th, and I was at the Devils stadium in under a hour. To get to the Metlife, it would take me a hour and a half :damn: , throw in 30 thousand people on the same train as well :damn:

Of course the ATL
They need to put touchscreens with game angles and maybe headphones with commentary on every seat...after what they spent on a stadium say it cost about 500 for the touchscreens times average 60000 seats that's about 30 million investment...not much compared to what was spent on the stadium.

And trust it will probably be less if your buying 60,000 fukkkng touchscreens you better get a bulk wholesale price lol

Cosign. Medolands gotta be the worst location for anything never mind 2 football teams. Harrison prob doesn't have enough space for a stadium but if they torn down some of those abandoned buildings in Newark that would've been the comeup. If they can give the illusion to white people that they are safe Newark could be a great city

well they built the Prudential Center right by Newark-Penn. As long as you don't go to the other side of the arena you never realize you're in the hood.

It was either gonna be in NYC or exactly where it was. I just wish JetLife had a retractable roof. I'm kinda glad it ain't in NYC though. Manhattan woulda been even more impossible to navigate.
