Nice Work Jets -- Stadium Experience Rankings

Most of it has nothing to do with us, but our situation.

Such as...
-Not having our own place
-A contract with Aramark i wish would end already.
-Overpriced ... everything.
-The team sucking ass

 

This is why the Jets need their own stadium.

People treat hotels and rentals much worse than they treat their own home.

Note also that the lowest scores, the ones that really drag the overall score down, are Accessibility (2 out of 10), Team (1 out of 10) and Neighborhood (2 out of 10).

All of these are, of course, management issues as the lousy parking facilities are because the Jets CHOOSE to play as tenants in a subpar facility, the team sucks because the Jets management sucks, and the neighborhood is a swamp, again a management decision.

Note, by the way, that the #1 experience is at Lambeau Field where every season ticket holder is an owner and you can't get season tickets without purchasing shares in the team. Owners take good care of their property.

 

Here's the Jets rankings broken down

my guess, is the original poster didn't bother to read the breakdown

 

I don't think the guy even read the article, he just saw 32nd place and looked for a way to bash the Jets fans.

The Giants came in 25th. The only differences between them and us were that they got an 8/10 in terms of how good the team is and the Jets got a 1/10. Also, they had 1 more point in stadium atmosphere, which is fair because, well, it is their stadium.

 

We got 7 of 10 for tailgating which is prob the best part of the game these days

 

Huh, is this some sort of description of how the "Jets experience" is for fans?
Or how we are perceived by the NFL.

 

It's about the overall experience of attending a Jets game in Giants Stadium.

 

I guesse im biased , because I loved going as a kid and I still love flying in during the season and watching now! Who did they poll ? Omish people?

 

Seems like the author of this thread is really mad at us.

I need to know what I can do better the next time I go....Im really willing to improve as a fan...and a person.

 

Good point! SI isn't ragging on us. They're ragging on the team and the facility. And I can understand that.

 

well if the team, food, and accesability was higher, so would our rankings. Jeez, the Giants own the damn place and they're still 25th

 

Yeah that NYC Mega State of the Art Increda-Stadium would have really sucked...

I'm so glad so many Jets fans jumped on the Dolan bandwagon and didn't help fight for this.....

"But, we won't have tailgating" morons.

 

cant argue with any of the grades.........as expected the tailgating and interaction with other fans are the best points, .....accessability, parking, surrounding area, team, food all suck......and we know this....the best part of any game thus far this season is the 3+ hours before kickoff

 

That was pretty much the only part I didn't agree with after reading the breakdowns...

Just because we don't have a 'staple' food doesn't mean Jets games aren't some of the best to tailgate at.... I've been to many, many stadiums, and, although there is better food in places like KC, there is not half as much enthusiasm or fun at those places....

I'd give us a 9/10 for tailgating....

As far as atmosphere goes, we do as well as we possibly can, rooting for a terrible team in another team's stadium....

 

the proposal was DOA with the politicians, fans didn't have any say.we could have signed petitions, demonstrated etc.results would have been the same.......someone got some payola, money talks, bullshit walks

 

Are Jetsfans the worst Fans in the League?
