Critic of new stadium

Old stadium upper decks were great, not a bad seat.
From what I am hearing, these are the closest you can get to actually using the Hubble Telescope.

 

I can't believe Gary Coleman performed in the meadowlands the night before he died. What does a normal person look like on the stage.

I wonder what pee wee games will look like from row 26 UD EZ?

 

damn, Bon Jovi used to pull in big crowds in Jersey

 

what row are you in??

 

Maybe people started wising up? Tastes DO mature as one gets older...

 

Family issues are irrelevant to this issue, as they would exist with or without the new stadium.

I'm not saying it doesn't suck. The team is riding us hard here, but no complaining is going to help. Buy it if it's worth it to you, or don't. Hopefully enough people don't buy, and the team prices its fans out and has to drop down, but for now... i'm paying.

I know my boycotting them is only going to spite myself.

There are seats that cost 950 a year, not the 1546 I am forking out. Those seats are worse. That's how a class system works.

In general, the seats are further, but I moved closer.

 

Seat prices and sales attitudes like this are now the norm in every stadium across the country for the NFL. They are hardasses down here as well. I have a couple of friends that are pissed over their treatment from the Fins.

I guess the difference is that the new stadium has made the Jets look like douches all of a sudden. With or without the stadium their douchiness was going to happen regardless.

The only bargain I know of in professional sports is the hockey team down here. You can get Seats 2 rows up from ice for 80 bucks. Half off the stated price. I do not take advantage enough because I am not a Florida team fan.....oh well

 

I too was at the 5/27 bon jovi concert. Section 336 (about 25 yrd line) 17 rows back. For many years my family had seats in the upper deck of the old building, sidelines, 4 rows from the top. The 17th row of the new building was considerably further away from the field, not at all comparable. Still, I was able to read jersey numbers off of concert goers who wore jerseys on the field, so its not impossibly bad (I hope), so those who are comparing the view from the UD to that from a blimp are a bit off. I think its safe to say, the 27,000 fans in the new upper deck will find their seats to be worse than anything that was in the old upper deck. Are they bad enough to make you dump the seats and/or pay for a PSL, time will tell. On the positive side, the new cupholders kept my drink from spilling.

The upper deck was bouncing so much it was scary. When I looked up at the lighting catwalk (yes, in the new building the lights aren't behind the last row, they are suspended over the last 10 rows of the upper deck on a catwalk that rings the building), that thing was bouncing all over the place. It was more that a little scary, and this with large chunk of the upper deck being empty (they didn't sell seats behind the stage)

 

My wife has vowed not to return to the uppers for any event there. The shaking bothered her that much. The good: she doesn't go to Jets games so I will have to do better with tickets come concert time.

 

It is the fastest growing, fastest moving (other than hockey), and most exciting sport there is.

 

Im sure it was designed for the vibrations but it gave many an uneasy feeling. I also want to know how much the uppers will be shaking come Monday, 9/13/10 vs the Ravens. We may just tear the place down.

 

Don't be silly.

Of course it's not a sport.

 

Complaining about a view of a concert from the upper bowl of a football stadium is pretty silly. You obviously won't see too well from there. Hell, a concert from the nosebleeds of a hockey stadium isn't too great either, and this is way bigger!
