It's one of these flash-based ones, like with the Luke in Indiana, which gives you all sorts of extra functions but precludes straight [img]-linking - unless you can be arsed screen-dumping and uploading.

Anyway, NY-ers need to spend more time taking their own pics and posting them here! It's happening all the time in Austin and Dallas :-)

Most Giants and Jets fans don't see the need for a new stadium, and thus are not excited about the prospects of paying for it.

Yea you guys and the Dallas fans just got the shaft if you're interested season tickets, PSLs are just wrong.

Our stadium (Ralph Wilson Stadium) has stands in the end zones, but the thing is, the top of the lower bowl is level with the ground, and the upper levels run parallel with the prevailing winds, so there is nothing to stop them from coming into the stadium and then dropping down to field level. And when they do drop down they swirl like water in a toilet bowl. Is is a common sight to see the flags on top of the goal posts in either endzone to be pointing in opposite directions.

The only reason the Giants and Jets are building a new stadium is because the Cowboys are building there next stadium and the Giants didn't want to be the ones in the NFC East with the old stadium. The Same thing is happening in Washington DC because the Redskins want a better stadium then the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants.

Not true in DC...There is interest in a new stadium there but not because of Dallas.

I think ownership around the league will be jealous of all the money Jerryworld will pull out of peoples pockets. Now I keep hearing that Fedex is soulless and wrong, but does a very good job of robbing you of all the money you come in with, so I do see a different rational. With the Giants/Jets a big part of it was to ensure they would be in the New York area for the next 100 years. But short of solid gold toilets I don't know how it can have $1.5 billion price tag, looks like maybe half that.

Watching so much Sopranos makes me wonder who's back pockets some of the construction money is ending up in.

Kobo · August 14th, 2008, 05:14 PM

I know this is not to do with this stadium but is kind of linked to it, but has anybody seen this film documentary titled: "A Stadium Story: The Battle for New York's Last Frontier" Its about the New York Jets and 2012 Olympic stadium proposed for New York City. I believe it came out in 2006. So if anyone has seen it please let me know what it was like, and if it came out onto DVD.

Thanks, Kobo.

Every team wants a new stadium because of the other teams. That's the way the game works. Very rarely do you see something built in professional American sports out of the sheer want for something different. Its all about profit and keeping up with what's around the corner. What's around the corner...........................................possibly no collective bargaining agreement. Teh Daniel knows he won't be able to dominate this with the NFC east's more profitable new venues if he doesn't build something bigger and more profitable, which right now is JerryWorld and the new Meadowlands.

thats not true, but being that you dont live here, i dont expect you to understand what it is we want

rantanamo · August 15th, 2008, 10:34 AM

I lived in Reston and heard Teh Daniel's ramblings all the time. It is true. The salary cap is possibly going away for a while, and most certainly will for at least a couple of years. Time to get money.

nyrmetros · August 17th, 2008, 03:20 AM

It's a nuclear arms race of sports stadiums....

just because you lived in Reston doesnt mean you know anything. If you knew anything, you would know that Snyder has NEVER mentioned building a new stadium, its only been speculation from outside sources.

It is true, dont try and act like it isnt, The New Jersey teams didn't want a new stadium until the Cowboys built a new one. Everyone wants to out do each other now.

Tampa Bay has a Pirate Ship!
Atlanta has the largest cable-supported dome in the world.
Sea Hawks have the first field level suites in the NFL.
Cardinals have the first retractable field in the NFL.
Colts have the first sideline horizontal retractable roof in the NFL with retractable glass walls in both end zones.
Cowboys get the first suspended score board in the NFL.
Now The Jets and Giants are getting a new stadium with a HUGE screen in each corner of the field, 4 in total. (no other like it anywhere).
I dont know what the Redskins will do to out do this, but I can only dream, same for the Saints, Vikings, 49rs, Chargers and Bills (where ever they end up after they leave Buffalo)

well it isnt true. Dan Snyder has put in TONS of money into FedEx field. He is perfectly content there. Its true its not an old stadium, and thats why even though everyone around here wants a stadium Snyder knows that he doesnt need a new one. The main reason that teams build a new stadium isnt the age of their old facility (in most cases) but because the old facility doesnt generate enough money. FedEx is a money vacuum, its got tone of suites and seats 90k. washington was tops in the league in revenue last year. A new stadium is financially out of the question, even though it would be SO nice.

your starting to sound like the Oklahoma State Coach in that press conference...

Its not trues.....ITS NOT TRUE. Pick on me, IM A MAN! You come ate me!

make up your mind, would my knowledge be based on where I lived( you said ignorance was location based) or is this just a bunch of Redskins(that racist name makes me cringe) houiee that is invading the Meadowlands Stadium thread?
