YoloinOhio Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) what is the atmosphere like? Is it crazy loud? I thought the crowd at the Manning Bowl on TV appears fairly subdued, but obviously the Giants were losing for most of the game and a different group of fans. As this is EJ's first reg season road game, wondering if he will experience insane crowd noise which could throw him off. Would hate to see delay of game, etc. Edited September 17, 2013 by YoloInTheBlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Jets fans have their own "culture of failure" to deal with. I was at the home opener last year and they were loud when they were winning but it was pretty dead before. Hard to say what to expect this week. A lot of Jets fans already hate Geno after his 3-pick performance vs the Pats*. Â If the Bills got an early lead, especially off Geno turnovers, it could take them right out of the game and to the exits.

GG Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Looking at the ticket prices, it appears that much of the interest is already gone out of LI Jets. The crowd at MetLife is generally much quieter than old Giants Stadium due to stadium design and many more club seats, which means less fans sit in the lower bowl. I don't think noise will be an issue for EJ this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Last time I was there it wasn't very loud, even though it was a close game. And, that was the old stadium. Â It's nothing like the Ralph. Too many people who think it = PGA. It's a paradise for people who have a problem with "standing the whole game". Everybody mostly sits. Tailgating? The parking lot looks no different than the one at your mall. Of course there's the big cheer when something good happens, but, the rest of the time, you can hear individual people talking. Â And, yeah, if we get up on them by 2 TDS? Prepare for the place to empty out quick. Last game we were winning for 2 seconds, but I saw a significant amount of fans leaving. Â GG is right, the Jets should be called the Long Island Jets, since that's where most of their fans come from. The early leaving probably has as much to do with that as their "fandom".

BRH Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Jests fans spit on me the only time I ever went to a game at the Meadowlands. I can't say I didn't deserve it though. That was the game in '91 when Kelly hit Thurman with the game-winning TD pass with 11 seconds left. After behaving myself most of the game, I couldn't help it - I turned around, raised my arms to the crowd, and pointed at my Bills shirt. When I sat down, my Jets fan friend had his head in his hands, going, "I can't believe you turned around." That's when the spit rained down, on both of us. I was lucky my friend was willing to drive me home after the game. Â Mostly what I remember was a lot of Giants fans who couldn't get season tickets to their own team, and one loud Jests fan who kept screaming, a bit pathetically, "We want our own stadium!"

ChesterRocCo Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) I second all of the above. Went to the home opener last year when i was living in nyc. The fans were not really all that loud. Everyone around me spent more time talking crap, talking to friends and complaining about this or that instead of watching the game. The stadium and parking lot/tailgating area doesn't have any character. i found the entire experience rather bland. Â The best part were the countless morbidly obese New Jersey fans in my section who called me various homophobic and antisemitic names. Especially the guy with two 7ish aged kids and a wife who told me i looked like a j#w bag. I think his kids have a bright future. I bought second row endzone tickets and thought maybe there would be less of this. I sat quietly with my father and watch buffalo get creamed, and got tons of bs from Jets fans who were too drunk to stand and too out of shape to make it up the stairs without a break or three. Â *Also excited to see if Mario shows up against Howard after last years performance. Edited September 17, 2013 by ChesterRocCo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-E-T-S Jets JEts JETS Yeah? Well you must not have been there the last time I was. These 2 Jet fans got beat down by a NYC cop. They were throwing stuff at my crew, missed, and hit his wife. Hilarity ensued. Â They squealed like litte girls when he beat them down. He threw them both face first into the stairs, cuffed them, hauled them up the stairs to the security people, and delivered them: bloody and broken. Â That was the only head smack I've ever seen at your stadium full of stock brokers, accoutants, and other assorted pencil neck geeks. You Jets fans aren't tough at all. Sure you talk big, but, when it's time to back it up? Squeal. Like little girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The effects from the stadium's speakers is what makes Met Life stadium loud. If you put Ralph Wilson stadium's "human voices" vs. Met Life's, it would be no contest. Jets fans don't know football like we do. All of us collectively multitask during big plays. We scream, clap, hug and keep one eye on the field for a yellow flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 How do I put this having lived in NJ my whole life. Giants fans are like head in the clouds rich old men. They'll puff their chests a bit when they're winning but disappear when they're not. Usually act reserved and quiet, unless you put them in an area with Cowboy fans. Jets fans are college kids. Loud, obnoxious drunk, bratty. They'll talk **** for the sake of talking ****. As far as a football atmosphere I like fan banter as long as it doesn't devolve into fist fighting.

It's not like it was a Buffalo cop beating them. Then you woulda heard laughing. And how do you even know Hilarity ensued? She couldn't do it during the game even if there was a lawyer there. Is Hilarity your wife? Or maybe your mommy? And shows what you know cuz little girls in NY don't squeal. They just get tough then go to collage upstate and find a husband from like Rochester or Allbany or something and make those little rats squeal. Â Plus the fact that you have a crew? Was that for real? Unless you brought your little rowboat to the game I don't think so pal. Â P.S.

J-E-T-S Jets JEts JETS Hilarity is you trying to pretend that the New Jersey/Long Island strip mall land you call home = a big city. Miles and miles of porn stores, Denny's, and Target, is no different than Cheektowaga. I bet I've lived and worked in Manhattan for longer than you have. Â I was with a group of people that wasn't solely comprised of my family, so, I called it my crew. And, really? I'm surprised by you Jimmy. Have you been hanging around the Learning Annex? Been spending time scoping the Nassau Community College girls, trying to impress one? Or, is your probation officer some bleeding heart, Ivy League dilettante, who thinks you are actually redeemable, and is beginning your "new path of good choices" by telling you about things that are outside of your comprehension, so that you can feel "smart"? Â How else can we explain you actually knowing that crew involves a boat of some kind? Â Regardless, the Bills are going to pound the Jets, the same way your fans got pounded last time I was there. It was enjoyable then, it will be enjoyable now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lived and worked in Manhattan huh? Just until it ate you up and spit you back to Buffalo I guess. So 8 minutes. Â And for your information Mr. Jets game expert, I know that a crew is a row boat cuz I useta go in the crew club and steal some ores on account of if you cut one in half it makes a nice thumping stick and it cleans up real easy. As for your crew, I don't think nobody down here would be calling them a crew. Maybe in Buffalo but I doubt it even there. Maybe in Buffalo at the Starbux or frozen yogurt stand. Maybe. Â P.S.
