My first home game

Illinois Jets Fan · 01-02-2010, 08:29 PM

Tomorrow night's game will be my first ever home game. Words cannot describe how excited I am. See you all there!

PS- I've seen the Jets play in person twice: against the Bears in Champaign and against the Rams in St. Louis. Here's to a Jets win!

Good stuff, enjoy Bro, you're in for a good time! :D

BTW, I LOVE Chicago...what a great place to party balls for 2 days straight not knowing a soul, lose your debit card, be late for your work training class not once but twice and freeze your ass off with a smile on your face. Can't wait to go back. :yes:

It is going to be a sick game. Don't listen to the fat old losers behind you tell you to sit down for cheering your team on

Ignore them. Don't argue with them. Focus on the game.

For all of you attending for the first time, the most important thing you can do is DRESS WARM. If you think you have enough layers on, you're wrong. It's going to be windy and colder than you have ever thought you can be. Wrap yourself up like the kid in A Christmas Story.

Thanks guys. Is the 16H tailgate still around, or did it already cease operations?

Bummer. Is there any other tailgate where JI members congregate? It would be fun to match handles with faces.

I don't blame you...This is the type of weather that causes pneumonia.

I would love to be at the game for what could be the last game ever played @ the old Giants Stadium, but I just have a feeling that it's going to be much more comfortable down here in my FLorida living room.

With all that said, I would trade my living room for a ticket to the game in a split second. To the Jet fans going to this game: Enjoy it. It's going to be something special, something that you'll never forget. In 30+ years from now...When looking at old film from the Meadowlands, you all can say "I was at the last game ever played in that crazy stadium".
