I miss the $2 knishes at the old stadium that came in foil wrap, I used them as handwarmers in December cold games.

I was there. Will never forget the Chunky Soup sponsored Jets painter caps. Perhaps the worst looking and ill-conceived stadium giveaway. Anywhere. Ever.

I remember a riot like brawl in the stands in the old Fireman Ed section (140ish). The players stopped and watched it. Craziest night at a Jets game ever.

We want the pumpkin! We want the pumpkin! We want the pumpkin!

Great stuff in this thread! I haven't heard many of these stories from the stadium. Keep em' coming. I watched the Jets' "dark ages" on television. Luckily, I am too young to have seen the team in the 70's.

The Pumpkin game was in 1988.

1989 the Bills were the last home game of the season and it was ungodly cold that day. They had about 50,000 no-shows.

Thread of the year LMFAO

Woody should provide the giant pumpkin for entertainment value

We want the pumpkin! We want the pumpkin! We want the pumpkin!

SOJ fans are not born, they are created; Heidi, Fake spike, Pumpkin, Drafts, etc...

I have seen this season before, I am still savoring the great game to start the season - Thank you Buffalo

Really! What was the harm in "Show us your t!ts" when the ladies voluntarily joined in?

Ok, here's one I've only heard about: Apparently it was a Raiders game where every time the stadium was silent, some guy with an air horn would blast it and shout: "Hooowie... Howie takes it up the a$$! Can anyone confirm that one?

Like looking at shapely, young breasts is a bad thing. They are works of art, and provide nourishment to the world's infant young. If anything, it was a celebration of the fleshy orbs.

Or the hot chocolate that got cold once it hit your hands.

That was the first ever game I attended in the Meadowlands.

I was there!

Wasn't an air horn, he had a megaphone right behind the Raiders bench. I sat 5 rows behind him on the 40.

Kept taunting him "How-ie...How-ie...." with stuff about being ghay and sucking penis, he ignored him but the Raiders bench was in hysterics.

They're still there, only available at the big food court on the 50 right next to the team store. They have a kosher cart, it's on there.

Monday Night Football, 1989 I believe. Got great seats from a business partner, lived in Manhattan, didn't have a car. Good times. I think.

Sounds like another addition to the Hottie Thread.

We`ll never have Jets games like that again. The Jets fans were voted as the worst fans in the league for a few years until Philly took the role.

Games at Shea were just as nuts. Lots of people high on lots of different drugs there. I enjoyed the trip to Shea from NJ. The #7 train was an awesome ride to Shea. EVERYONE does laundry on Sunday morning in Queens. LOL Just riding that line over Queens was a cool sight. I was a teenager back then and we would bring our beer with us and pot ofcourse(pot was great in those days). The cops never bothered anyone drinking on the train as long as you brown-bagged it. It was about a 45 minute ride from Port Authority to Shea. Back then you had to buy your beer/booze the night before because you couldn`t purchase beer until 12:00pm and in many places you couldn`t purchase ANY booze on Sundays. Shea was a dump though. The water was rarely on and the piss troughs were always clogged and overflowing. You actually had to urinate in the drain in the middle of the floor. No one wanted to stand in the overflow of urine. It was also always very cold at Shea. The ride back wasn`t good usually. The Jets weren`t good and after a loss the ride was sobering to say the least.
