Can't imagine it means much since there's nowhere else to go.

Also, the Jets and Giants own the StadiumCo so they're basically leasing from themselves. I presume the out clause is in case of a fallout and one wants to sell out their piece to the other and freak off to pastures new.

I like Nissan Stadium quite a lot (where the Titans play now.) I don't like it but I get what they're going for in this render, the outside pretty much encapsulates Nashville as a city. They're trying to pull in non-football fans. The interior looks pretty good though.

The Bills render looks like a fuckin fish bowl.

Plus...you see what other "new" stadiums look like around the league, and you wonder who the freak designed Metlife to be a concrete POS.

US Bank stadium (where the Vikings play) is a mecca of beauty and greatness.

I just went to UBS on Monday to see the Devils-Isles (shoutout to Islander fans for being super cool. Polite, knowledgeable about the game, social, etc).

It's a really nice building, the sightlines are great, good amenities, nice atmosphere. Wish the parking situation was a little better but that's not the end of the world.

Point is, aside from Barclay Center which IMHO also sucks derriere (shitty amenities, a pain in the derriere to get to, horrible seating, maybe the worst acoustics for a concert ever) all the "new' arenas and stadiums in the area are great. People love to excrement on Yankee Stadium for reasons I don't understand (though again, parking does suck). I'm certainly not a Mets fan but Citi is a wonderful ballpark. Prudential Center some 17 years later still looks and feels brand new. MSG is MSG.

MetLife is the biggest piece of excrement, ugly sterile dump that they could've possibly built. At least if the Jets and Giants split the cost of a retractable roof we'd be getting super bowls in the area probably once every five years, but they couldn't even do that. The building is a disgrace on so many levels.

Of course FIFA won't allow games on turf. They actually care about the injury risk, rather than airing commercials about how new helmet tech is reducing the total percentage of concussions because they care about player safety.

It always felt like visiting players would complain about the turf but not the Jets.

Probably need Rodgers to go on McAfee and say he's more likely to come back with grass for anything to change.

You would think it might be even easier at this stadium since the Jets and Giants can split the costs.

Apparently, there are 4 locker rooms. One for each home team, and 2 for visitors. They use their own locker rooms when playing each other and the visitor locker rooms get used for spillover.

There's no reasonable excuse for continuing to use non-grass fields for NFL games. I'd be curious about an analysis of the cost of grass upkeep vs # of dollars put on IR due to turf-related injuries.

I'd love to know how many quality FAs tell their agents not to take calls from teams with turf. I know receivers like it because they can launch and cut harder and faster, but I'll bet some linemen want nothing to do with it.

Wouldn't think you were picking on me. I didn't build this abortion. Hell, I was loudly calling out Sheldon Silver and Christine Quinn for being in James Dolan's pocket to prevent the West Side Stadium.

Didn't they already say they were staying? I feel like I saw that before this season started.

EDIT: Guess not yet:

Quote
The Jets and Giants both have the possibility of walking away from their stadium leases in 2025, as long as they give 12 months' notice to the state of New Jersey. After that, both teams will have the same opportunity to opt out every five years.

Would be hilarious if both of them cut and ran back to NY.

What would Jersey do with an empty 82,000 seater stadium that someone else paid for? Give Rutgers a shiny new home?

FWIW, while obviously it's highly unlikely that either team leaves, I think it's even more so for the Giants - they've been in Jersey a lot longer than us and I suspect they'd be quite happy to have it back as Giants Stadium again.

Yeah, they entered a 99 year lease to start off. I'm sure the out clauses were intended to allow them to escape if the swamp started swallowing the stadium, but we'd never be so lucky.

And given the current mayor and governor of NY, I can't see any sort of offer coming that would entice either to cross back over the Hudson. Thanks again Silver and Quinn!

Yeah, they entered a 99 year lease to start off. I'm sure the out clauses were intended to allow them to escape if the swamp started swallowing the stadium, but we'd never be so lucky.

And given the current mayor and governor of NY, I can't see any sort of offer coming that would entice either to cross back over the Hudson. Thanks again Silver and Quinn!
As much as I want it, helping to finance a new stadium would be very irresponsible for the mayor to do, which means he might do it.

As for Hochul, maybe she could be leveraged due to her subsidizing of the new Bills stadium? Would be a bad look to say yes up there but not down here.

I don't know. A stadium could bring a lot of revenue to NYC, wherever it was located. I don't have the patience to research the economic impact of a new arena on local economies, but in any of the boroughs, you'd get a bunch of concerts like CitiField that would be a boost too.

Honestly, I'd be really happy if they worked out a deal with the Mets. I'd much rather split time with them than the Giants.

Yes, much worse than the football-purpose-built MetLife Stadium.

Worse than now? The Mets lot is always full when I pass by on game days. Traffic isn't terrible. There are multiple ways in. Plus, I'm sure more fans would commute to Citi than they do to MetLife.

Regardless, it'll never happen. But what I've long wanted is for NYC to tear down that stupid tennis stadium that gets two weeks of use a year and build the Jets a home.

I'd take it with a grain of salt. We don't hear this excrement about the Giants and half of the teams in the league don't play on grass. The field is brand freaking new so if we really have the worse field in the league we picked the worst option twice in a row.

I think the takeaway here is that the organization isn't respected in the league and people who want to trash it will lean on any and every reason to say they would never play here.

Their first argument would probably be the difficulty of maintaining live grass in the NE winter, but Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Maryland aren't exactly temperate climates between November and February and are doing it with the income of only one team.

Their second argument will be the difficulty of maintaining a good enough grass surface to support games being played every weekend, and sometimes twice in the same weekend, but Pittsburgh and others manage to balance it with college and NFL teams sharing the same stadium.

Modern stadia use modular grass systems. Tottenham's stadium literally rolls the grass in and out.

We could have a turf base that's used for concerts with both the Jets and the Giants having their own modular grass field. The biggest challenge there is that the stadium presumably wasn't built to enable huge slabs of grass to be rolled in and out, but it's not an unsolvable problem. And there's plenty of room to store and manage the grass around the stadium.

You're not getting a counter-argument from me. I hate turf. There's absolutely zero excuse to me to use it. I don't care if you have to constantly replace it. Two billion-dollar organizations share the stadium. Dig in the cushions for enough change to maintain grass and protect your employees.
