Not enough Jet fans came down this year because the game was in September and they knew it would be 90's+ in Miami. Not everyone is suicidal and likes to sit in that freakin' sun.
I can honestly say if I had to choose between going to a game in Miami or New York, Miami would be the no brainer.JMO
Mostly just because Miami fans won't kill you for being an opposing team in their stadium. Kidding. Since I'm used to the heat I'd have to agree though.
Man I'd love to brave that heat to watch this game. I could probably get off from work to go too...woulda been so easy. Oh well.
Methinks the Hurricanes/Storms might have a lil to do with it. Although the weather is always a factor when it comes to attendance.
PFT clears it up later on: http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/06/more-on-the-jets-fins-tickets/ Basically says that they are returned tix from the Jets org. Also, club level/skybox isn't included, as not all stadiums have those seats.
Pfft.... If that's all it takes to get rid of all you New Yawkas down here then I'm changing my stance on Global Warming! Heat em up!
No, there's no way. Madden would personally eat all the extra tickets just so Favre could be televised.
Heh, I think so, but I'm probably the minority on this board. New York is a great place to live (outside of being exorbitantly expensive) and an even better place to go hang out for a week or two. Of course, my exception would be going to a game. WOuld way rather see my fins in Miami than surrounded by a bunch of stinkin Jests fans ughhh. When I used to live in nyc and work on the Amex, there'd be periodic J-E-T-S chants on the trading floor throughout the day. It was awful!
i was shocked. i have 3 front row sideline seats, and 2 7th rows sideline seats. and i had planned to go, but my brother got sick last minute, and we had to dump the tickets. i barely got face value for them on ebay. i thought there'd be HUGE demand for this game and such seats.
its a genetic mutation that occurs in whippets. the mutation is ridiculous muscularity(im not joking). its pretty rare.
