    I'm sure they cameras being used weren't HD, or high quality, once they have some real sports teams in their they'll look great.

    I know this is a PSL post, but the Jets are trying to sell PSL's and win a Super Bowl with these signings. I ain't gonna hate on the Jets as long it accomplishes both. Getting Holmes was awesome, who cares if it sells PSL's. We are the Yankees of the NFL... sorry Met fans, its a compliment to me.

    I don't know how anyone can say we're the Yankees of the NFL when there is a salary cap in football. This is not addressed to you 314, it's addressed to all of the loser fans on other team's forums who keep saying it..

    Since the team is actively trying to sell PSLs, people can spin anything they do as a scam to sell PSLs if they want to. The other option is to do nothing and have a crappy team.

    I'm glad we're not Giants fans, they haven't improved their team, didn't even have a non-PSL option and their old red and blue stadium is being knocked down. Sucks to be them.

    Great photos/excellent job! May I ask how you had access to the suites - where they normal price tickets for this event?

    Some comments if I may.

    This is obviously a great place if you have club seats. Surprised how huge the mezzanine club area level is - and so high! It's probably very cool at first, but after you're used to it it's not football. (to me) The TV screens were great but some looked small sitting on the huge walls.

    I can't believe there'll still be food carts everywhere. I thought they'd move on from that with all the extra space. Seems as though the Mrs. Field carts were just rolled on over from next door...

    They have a lot of interior dressing up to do. As great as the suites looks - chandeliers included, the basic concourses are battleship grey with exposed girders and bolts. Go figure. After seeing both, and what I expect the upper deck to look like all I can say is, we are entering a feudal system for sure. The new Yankee Stadium introduced the concept, but this stadium seals the deal.

    Let me also say this. With all of the stadiums built and opened around the US in the last 5 years, New York TOTALLY fucked-up and dropped the ball. Not one of these stadiums is just "cool" or basically an enjoyable place that is worth going to on its own merits without draining your wallet - as far as I can tell. The new Target Field opening in Minnesota today will blow Yankee Stadium and Citi Field away, as does many others. My pro photographer friend tells me how impressed he was with Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy when he went to cover the Super Bowl and he's surprised the two NY teams combined could not produce something that even barely approaches it. Indianapolis!

    Back to Baseball, the stadiums in Baltimore, Pittsburgh are better. So is Philly to be honest. I went to The Ballpark in Arlington ten years ago and remember it to be cooler than Citi Field built a decade later. The new one in Miami will be better too - bank on it. We will be stuck with these for the rest of (many of us) our lives, and while they are nicer than what they've replaced, this area went 0-3 with billions spent as far as I'm concerned. I am VERY disappointed.

    It's sad. This one was the last chance. It should have been a national spectacle for sporting events. It isn't, it won't be, and I don't think you can even argue that point. These stadiums are revenue producers first and only. Citi Field could have been the one but the Wilpons were in charge and somehow managed to use the same architect that made many of these new gems, but somehow didn't do such a good job this time. I'd love to know how HOK or whatever their name is now feels about Citi Field. I bet they shake their head and say 'well, that one didn't come out too well. The Wilpons would not do this or that, or cut costs by doing this or not doing that..."

    I can't wait for a local reporter or a major magazine takes up this topic. Hell, maybe I'll write it ; )

    People are upset b/c we generally make wise signings and trades and have built our core through the draft.

    H'mm I think you forget the OL people we brought in

    The players from Baltimore

    The trades like BE

    Jenkins from Car

    I do not think all those players came in our draft.

    From JEts insider, still six in a row in third row mezz!!

    Mezz A 249a row 3

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Just finalized my PSL's

    me and my buddies picked up 6 seats 249a row 3 (sunny side). I was in the seats saturday and am very happy with the view from the mezz. The stadium is beautiful and throw Holmes into the equation it is going to be a good yr.

    See you guys there!

    HA HA, BIL gave up on PSLs. He is up by 227 in upper sideline so what is better than that.

    Go back in time on this board and funny how people were praying Mezz A good seats would be available for 4k when there turn came to be called almost one year ago. Come April 2010 six in a row in row three sitting wide open.

    Even funnier Jets old me today that GHC construction is not even started and when I asked why they said the "saved the best for last" Sounds like what a ho says when she hangs up her G-string to marry an ugly dentist.

    LogeSection2RowJ,

    I know you were interested in the escalator situation. There are 2 escalators at each of the three gates: Pepsi, Verizon, and Met Life. There are also 4 escalators at the East Gate and another 4 at the West Gate. This is a total of 14 escalators from ground level to 100-concourse. Everyone has to go up one of these escalators unless you're in one of the visitor's side sideline seats with the low exits, the mezz. clubs, suites, or the Coaches Club. Once you get to the 100-concourse, you go up to the mezz. level and then up to the upper deck. The east/west entrances only have escalators to the lower (100-level) concourse. From there, you have to make your way to one of the other gates to continue up. I saw a lot of wide staircases also. There were I think 2 ramps that I passed that said "All Levels".

    Just so you have an idea of the height:
    Floor 1 - Field Level (even with the ground, not set down 1 floor like the old stadium).
    Floor 2 - Lower Level Concourse
    Floor 3 - Lower Suite Level
    Floor 4 - Mezzanine Concourse
    Floor 5 - Middle Suite Level
    Floor 6 - Upper Suite Level
    Floor 7 - Upper Deck Concourse

    Old Stadium:
    Field Level is 1 story below ground
    Ground level was Stadium Club, offices, etc.
    Lower Concourse on 2nd floor (above ground level)
    Mezzanine on 3rd floor
    Upper Deck on 4th floor

    My Jets tickets are in 233 so I bought tickets to 235 for the Lacrosse game and went over and sat in my 233 seats.

    They were $30 each.

    I agree. I was surpised they had them up in the concourse area. They also food carts in the great hall area, but that didn't surprise me.

    I'm not surprised by the way the regular concourses looked. They are much wider than the old stadium at least. They also had some areas with beer stands that had no wall behind them - so you can stand in line and still watch the game.

    The GHC wasn't started at all. I went in the west gate and just walked right down to the field - it's wide open. http://www.newmeadowlandsstadium.com says that the Great Hall Club will not be available in Fall 2010.

    Meet Your Seats

    I submitted their form to attend the MYS event next week. I haven't heard back from anyone yet.
    Has anyone heard from the Jets on this, other than the original email?
