Wow, that's a long way from Calgary to Toronto? So is true that everybody gets laid during the Stampede? If so I'll have to leave the wife behind and check it out sometime...
In Chronological Order: The old foxboro stadium, sometime in the '80s (vs. Pats of course). All I remember is Ken O'Brien vs. Steve Grogan. Seattle Kingdome (first game with Parcells as Head Coach, IIRC) Indy RCA Dome (2003ish) Meadowlands (2007)
1994 @New England - Week after the fake spike Miami game. We lost. Boomer sucked that game. 2002 @Jacksonville - We got killed. The white trash fans were pretty easy to deal with. Nice warm day. Meadowlands - More times than I can remember. Best game - Monday Night Miracle.
Got to see the Jets blow a fourth quarter lead to the Bears back in the early 90's in chicago. The guy I was traveling with cheered a bit too loud when the Jets took the early lead, and a nice Chicago fan poured a full beer on his head from the suites above us (At least I think they were suites, with their sliding windows).
"The Old Meadowlands Stadium": 1995-2009 Gillette Stadium: 2006-2009 (including the playoff game in '06) Cleveland Browns Stadium: 2006 Lucas Oil Stadium: 2009 AFC Championship Game -- Craziest Atmosphere easily would be the AFC Championship Game back in January. Man, was that place loud (when the Colts were winning that is). Defnitely helps that its a Dome stadium, but the Colts fans when the team is winning make it crazy, but as soon as they're losing its like a funeral home. Still, crazy atmosphere. Everything I thought an AFC Championship Game live would be. -- Worst fans: Browns fans.
Man, that one must have sucked. I hated, and was miserable watching that one from my couch. That game still disgusts me. Mangini should be fired!
Stadiums other than Shea and Giants Stadium @ Yankee Stadium '76 pre-season against Oakland. Namath was still a Jet, and rookie Richard Todd had 2-yard punt, ending his experiment at punter. He punted at Alabama if you didn't know. @ Foxboro in '85 (Lost) @ Foxboro in 2001 (Won) My bachelor party weekend, first games after 9-11, Brady era begins when Mo Lewis caves Bledsoe's rib cage. We actually felt sorry for the Pats that day. @Foxboro playoffs 2006 (Lost) - on the field (photo assistant) @Miami '95. (Lost) Oppressive heat, Season opener. Chrebet's debut. @Miami '98 (Won) Sunday night. As opposite an experience as you could get from my first Miami trip. Chad Cascaddan! Bruce Harper sat in front of me. We partied all night in Shula's Sports Bar in Ft. Lauderdale. Best Jet's experience ever. The local Dolphin fan wait-staff had to serve us rowdy Jets fans, going crazy with each ESPN replay - in Shula's bar! AWESOME @ Denver, Mile High '99 Championship Game - on the field (photo assistant) Things you might not know unless you were there; the day before and the day after were BEAUTIFUL days - sunny, warm, perfect. That day was supposed to be too, then out of nowhere, a howling wind, plunging temps, tough weather. The game really ended with the Meggett botched return after the Denver TD in the 3rd Q. I was at the ten yard line and could not believe how far back the wind blew the kickoff. Literally 15 yards backwards. Kudos to them - it was planned. Nice high kickoff into the wind. Fans were assholes, mostly after they knew they had it won. I will never root for Denver again ever, and I had a lot of respect for them until that day. I was standing at the goal line when Blake Spence blocked that punt recovered by Fred Baxter, and was in the back of the end zone when Curtis busted over for the TD. One of the hardest hitting games i can remember. Long flight home that Monday. I had SB ticket vouchers too. OUCH. Sooo close to being right there for the greatest Jets moment of my life. Rex, please deliver another chance. Been many of the home games everyone else mentioned. My first Jets game at Shea was a close loss to Pittsburgh in '77. Lou Piccone had a punt return TD called back by a flag. Otherwise we upset the Steelers (That's how I remember it anyway...) I couldn't believe how much flask and fifth-drinking there was. More than now, actually. Seemed every other fan had a small bottle on them.
WOW - Great one! I remember how thrilled I was with that win. Parcells had truly come to save us. Reefer-Boy won it with a 50 yard FG if I recall. Another fact about that day - it was the day Princess Diana died.
Miami 1995 amd some other september game losy both New Orleans Nov of 2001 won game Oakland we blew a 16 point lead Vandy Stadium In Nashville Hard fought win i
Giants Stadium against the Broncos that started the end of Mangini. Then the next year against the Bills @ Rogers Centre.
