I am a Jets fan as well, but I and frustrated about the stadium
question for a different reason. Were the Jets were ever really
interseted in their own stadium? The push for the downtown stadium
was the farce. That was the snow job. Let's face it, NY is Giants
country. Even having won a superbowl, The Jets are and have always
been the other NYC football team. And in order to insure their second-
class citizenship they are going to share a facility with the Giants,
in Jersey!!

Once they lost the downtown deal they were not committed to having
thier own house. The Jets need their own stadium but I guess that is
not going to happen in my lifetime.
