The Yankees made an art of squeezing out the real fan with high-priced box seats and tickets and with the new stadium it's only getting worse.  It appears the Jets and Giants are following suit.  Don't fret Jets fans (firefighters and cops) if you're a state worker in NJ you're way overpaid and you can afford it.  People wonder why taxes in NJ are so high and in turn wonder why people are leaving in droves.

Eh, the Giants squeezed the real fans out a long time ago. Point in case: I've been on the waiting list for season tickets for 3 or 4 years and there's still 26,700+ people ahead of me. And that's thanks in large part to corporate tickets and whatnot. Supposedly Art Modell owns like 150 season tickets in premium seats, or something like that. Why the hell the former owner of the Browns and Ravens needs 150 season tickets to the Giants, I don't know, but there you go.

So now the Jets are starting to learn how it feels to be a Giants fan I guess...well, except for all the ones who really are Giants fans and only bought the season tickets to the Jets b/c they can't get Giants tickets....(lol, sorry true Jet fans, I couldn't lay off that one)

If I wanted to learn how to be a Giant fan I'd take a trip to the West Side and visit the Blue moon Saloon.
