Giants to open new stadium
*ernie
NEW YORK - Both the Giants and Jets wanted to open next season in the new
Meadowlands Stadium. Both will.
The NFL said Monday the Giants will play on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 12, and
the Jets will host a Monday night game the next day.
Opponents have not been announced; the full league schedule usually is
released in early April.
"After extensive discussions with both teams, we have come up with what we
believe is a unique approach for celebrating the opening of the new
Meadowlands Stadium," commissioner Roger Goodell said.

The Jets were given the privilege of closing Giants Stadium, fairness

Goodell steps on his dick yet again.. and then... Woody drops his
balls. "Transparent" Lolz... He dropped his balls big time.
I actually like the Jets deal better. They play the first EVER
football game there in preseason. Jets fans will be the first ones
with their butt's in the brandy new seats. And, the Jets debut the
stadium in front of the entire country on Monday night. The ones
getting snaked are the guys that have to prep the stadium after the
Giant regular season opener.

And I'm pretty sure we know who that would be...:-) The Jets need to go all
the way now...change the name to the New Jersey Jets...if you think of it,
it makes sense now. OMHO, Papa Carl

I've been to both Jets and Giants home games. That contest would be a
landslide in favor of Jets fans. Woody should have asked for a rumble
and not a coin toss :-)

I hope it is Miami on Monday Night !!! Ideal contest with all the
recent shit talk and Rex flipping the bird at Miami fans. Both teams
fans bosting of a sweep. Lets get this one settled right now !

Yeah, winner gets the stadium named after them and that's teams colors
and 50 yard line logo are displayed for ALL games!

Have the Giants play the Jets on Thursday (first game of the new
season, first regular season game in the stadium). Nationally
televised game, prime time. AND the winner picks the name of the
stadium.

That lets me out.

Giants don't play the Jets this year and the schedules are made up well in
advance aside from a couple games so that won't work.

So in that scenario who would be the home team? Same problem...

I may have missed the dialogue, but any other paranoid fans out there
who KNOW the league did not do the coin flip with a team rep present
because it was rigged?

stadium just means Sheli and the Giants will get the first loss in the
new digs.
So what will be that Mon Night game/
Minnesota if Favre is back,
if not Pats?
MZ
I read earlier that it will probably be Dolphins, but maybe Pats.
Michael
im hoping for the fish... we already had our "superbowl" vs the pats
at home last season. i got the little green and white game ball that
rex and woody sent to all the season holders. if it is the fish, they
are dead meat... get 'em a body bag... yeahhhhhhh !!!!
