First Visit To Shea

Toggle shoutbox NYJETSFAN BANTER

Jets are doing jets related things also... THE KNICKS.

santana :	(Yesterday, 11:59 PM) yeah but hes white and a patriot
santana :	(Today, 12:00 AM) goodell is busy banning handbags from stadiums
santana :	(Today, 12:00 AM) this country is priming its self for a massive protest this handbag shit is retarded
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:01 AM) They are so f***ing stupid
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:01 AM) Like people need more reasons to stay at home for the game
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:02 AM) Honestly, at this point, the only way I'd go to an NFL game was A. Free tickets B. Tickets were close enough to the field that I felt like I could heckle a player and be heard
santana :	(Today, 12:02 AM) its not stupid its actually genius
santana :	(Today, 12:02 AM) the problem is i know for sure the evil genius behind it is dan snyder and other owners pushing for this shit
santana :	(Today, 12:02 AM) they want their new stadiums to inhale your money from the minute you enter its zipcode
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:03 AM) Genius in the sense that you force people to spend more money
santana :	(Today, 12:03 AM) right
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:03 AM) Baseball stadiums started doing this since right after 9/11
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:03 AM) I used to go to Mets games as a kid with a subway hero
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:04 AM) Now I gotta drop $30 for a burger with fries
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:04 AM) You know what I do? Not go to the fuckin games LOL
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:04 AM) And it's not just me because the Mets suck, Yankees can't sell out anymore at all
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:04 AM) Shit, even Mets vs Yankees wasn't sold out
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:04 AM) That never happened in the 90s
santana :	(Today, 12:04 AM) ghetto fries
santana :	(Today, 12:05 AM) whats amusing is at nationals stadium the staff is the worst
santana :	(Today, 12:05 AM) they don't give a shit
santana :	(Today, 12:05 AM) specially sunday morning
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:06 AM) How so?
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:06 AM) Do they make you watch the Nationals?
santana :	(Today, 12:06 AM) every time they handed me my food or what not then i had to go to the register to pay i just walked away because the queue was too long
santana :	(Today, 12:06 AM) people running the registers just go super slow
santana :	(Today, 12:07 AM) no one there is in charge of making sure the customers are following the process
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:11 AM) Wait, you pay after you get your food?
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:11 AM) How does that even work?
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:11 AM) Everywhere you pay when you place your order
santana :	(Today, 12:12 AM) well its decided getting some booze tomorrow afternoon and drinking every time i head lebron's head band referenced
santana :	(Today, 12:12 AM) like i said the concession stands are a mess
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:12 AM) You might die
santana :	(Today, 12:12 AM) there were multiple people behind the counter
santana :	(Today, 12:13 AM) so you could just go up to it and ask for what you wanted and 1 out of the 5 people would be on a single register
santana :	(Today, 12:13 AM) so eventually you were just handed your food
santana :	(Today, 12:13 AM) expecting for someone to approach the register you were standing infront to charge you
santana :	(Today, 12:13 AM) or you were led to believe maybe you had to go line up to the one that had a cashier with people already waiting on it
santana :	(Today, 12:14 AM) so a lot of the times when i was just handed the food i requested i would stand there look around see them go back to being distracted on their boost mobile phones or whatever reason and walked away
santana :	(Today, 12:14 AM) i got 6 pretzels like this for the group i was with and 3 hot dogs
santana :	(Today, 12:15 AM) my ticket one time had like 5$ towards concessions or what not their scanner wasnt working at the register so it wasnt reading it right or she didnt know what she was doing. she tried to scan it 3 times then litterally just turned away so i was standing there asking if it was all good no one answered so i just walked away with the food
santana :	(Today, 12:18 AM) probably doesn't help that they are hiring people from one of the worst parts of dc
santana :	(Today, 12:19 AM) in fact all the stadiums in dc are in very low income areas probably to exploit this work force
SecondHandJets :	(Today, 12:31 AM) No stadiums are in low income areas because that's how they get municipal bonds to finance construction. "Look, we're giving black people jobs! Pay for our stadium!!!"
santana :	(Today, 12:32 AM) right

Guys,

Although I've been to the Meadowlands a few times, I'm coming over next month for my first Mets games.

Anyone have any tips on drinking before and after the game?
Is there tailgating ?
Anyone gonna be at the Braves series 20-22nd ?

Anything else I should know?

Cheers

Not much tailgating before the game. DEpending on where your staying I definitely recommend taking the train to the game, it gets pretty crazy on the 7 especially if its a Braves series. Heres the lowdown on Shea...

-Food sucks, except for the brats (hopefully they are there)
-Place has some funny ass smells
-The ushers are like hawks: All they do is show you to your little box and wipe the seat down with this rag that lloks like it just wiped the ass of a homeless person, then they stand there expecting a tip, even during the game. Try and avoid them if you can, they make MSG ushers look bearable
-The fanbase is hilarious espceially against the braves, get their early enough to watch the tail end of visiting BP

Have fun, dude, it may be a dump but its great for baseball no matter what anyone says

No, its complicated. I have transferable scholarship, which means UTs offer is valid to me for 4 semesters as long as I don't play for another school or professionally but theres zero likelyhood that I would join a professional golf tour, not that good. So I am gonna take a year off, do some shit back east, then come back fall 2008.

So yeah, going to UT but taking a year off to pursue other interests.

Meh, you can pretty much get a background education anywhere. You wanna be a cop? I would take psychology or something along those lines as well, any input from the resident police on here?

Hahahaha...no

I'd do two Mesopatamian languages seeing that our foreign as well as internal affairs stem from that region of the world. I'd say Arabic, Farsi, or Mandarin Chinese seeing that conflict, physical or diplomatic, with China is eminent.

Just got the tickets, 8th row on the third base side, I forget what box, their the GM of CW11's tickets. Just going to the 20th and 21 first but I'm taking a tour of the contrusction site of Citi Field and maybe meet Ralph Kiner. Needless to say I'm as giddy as a school girl.
