    section 203A view?

    One other thing, I just noticed that section 227 has a similar view on the opposite side of the stadium to section 203 so I was just wondering how bad ass you seats were? When I was selecting the tickets I figured that this area had the perfect balance between getting a good perspective of the entire field while still being pretty close to the action?

    I recall seeing references, I believe in the PSL thread, of people who will run a tailgate complete with all you can eat for a price of like $25. May be worth doing a search on that.

    I got fucked big time on ebay, luckily my credit card refunded me and they went after the bastard. Stubhub is your best bet, its safe. You'll probably pay a bit more but its worth it to have peace of mind.

    Its a Sunday night game vs the Cowgirls opening weekend....its going to be a zoo. Get there early.

    Also check back when It gets closer to game day, people who throw tailgating parties will post threads with all the info. A couple of dudes throw an open tailgate party in lot 7. I think it's free but I have never been so I can't give my review. Google Ny Jets L7 tailgate and you will be able to get more info on that one.

    The only good thing about EBay is the fact that you can score cheaper tickets then you can find on Stubhub/Ticket exchange. But when there are pros there are also cons and being scammed by an Ebayer is one of them. I would never buy Jets tickets from an Ebayer before he or she received them from the Jets.

    Awesome

    I just checked out the L7 tailgates and it does seem like the place to be.... Revis's brother showed up at one of them!

    Thanks for the tips, I'll make sure I get to the stadium real early to take all of it in, I can imagine everyone is totally pumped for football to start again in a normal season but with all the uncertainty this summer game one'll be an even bigger deal. Add the fact that it is obviously going to be an emotional day for you new yorkers anyway and the atmosphere should be pretty special. Hopefully things get sorted soon but great to hear that Sanchez is taking responsibility for possible full team workouts in the event that they stay locked out for a while more. Good hustle!

    You need to find out where "Troop 16H" is now. Here is a link to a 2007 video taken before a game in 16H Parking lot right near my tailgate. Check out the DJ and the free food and beer. There are beer spigots on the back end of that duece-and-a-half. Crank up the volume:

    Hey guys thanks for above link but scooterburn and I can't view it as we don't have 10 posts yet! If its a youtube video whats the title and I'll search.

    A couple of follow-up questions for me as I am now buying my tickets:

    1. I had been advised to get lower endzone tickets as they are decent value and relatively close to the action. I see tix in row 2 for a decent price - should I go for those or is that too close? Am I better off going back to like row 20-30 so I get a bit more perspective?
    2. Orange or yellow parking passes - they are both available on stubhub for around $60. Is one better than the other for the same price - or are they both a rip-off for that price!? And do the numbers (eg. Yellow 5) mean anything?

    Thanks for all the help guys.

    Youtube video above =Troop16H tailgates. Check out Lot L7 tailgate as well.

    I would go with seats between row 20-30 in the endzone if I were you. Row 2 in the endzone will have you watching the large screens when the ball is on the other side of the field. Then again the action will look amazing when the ball is in your endzone, watching it from row 2. I guess both have their pros and cons.

    Go with the yellow parking pass, it will put you closer to the stadium. I wouldn't spend more then 50 on a yellow parking pass. Face value for the orange is 15 bucks so if you are spending $60 on it, you are making the seller a very happy person. Face value for the yellow is 25 bucks.

    the lowest rows in the lower level are nice for seeing the backs of the security guards heads or for seeing yourself on the screen if you are unfortunate enough to have chosen seats behind our paid mascot -- "the human obstructed view"

    they are awful for trying to follow what is going on during a football game on the field.

    Lower Level -- higher the row, better

    Yellow is considered a better Parking Pass than Orange
