Where do you usually find good parking?
I actually found several open street parking spaces on Walton Avenue between 161 and 158 that I used one time. I couldn't use the parking garages because we were doing the City Sendoff and there was a risk they would close with our car inside.
I almost always park at my sister's house about a mile away from the stadium. Those few instances when I don't, when arriving early enough, there is always parking at 158th street (between Franz Sigel Park and the Courthouse), or on the concourse south of the courthouse, on the side of the Franz Sigel Park.
Yeah, I know... trust me, I actually thought twice about posting that. But then I remembered most fans live in NYC and take public transportation, that us fans with cars will be relatively fine for at least the next two years.
Very, very, very few of the people attending a game at Heinz see that view. Maybe 1/3 of the fans in the upper bowl.
You have to put supporters section with back to skyline. Photos and shit. Will be the Concrete Wall.
Shit. Beaten to the punch by a juvenile delinquent.

Yeah I'm not entirely sure if that's going to be true going forwards. Stadiums are a large outlay of funds and tend to screw over taxpayers something fierce. I can easily see the new Meadowlands going on for quite some time, the only reason that the Jets/Giants might get a new stadium built sooner than the 50 year mark is because its the NFL. Well that or the Meadowlands has a 30 year design life or something silly. But who the hell does that, the cost of additional concrete to go from a 30 to 50 year design life is minuscule in comparison to rebuilding a damn stadium 20 years sooner.
Then again, what's the NFL going to do, threaten to leave the NY media market if NY doesn't build a new stadium, fat chance.
The only reason I give our stadium a decent shot at going through is because of how deep the pockets of the ownership are.
Eventually with advances in virtual reality, 3D, cameras, and other technology that impacts media and television viewing, the need or want to go to a stadium will become obsolete. It will be more enjoyable to watch from home. You can be in the huddle, on the sidelines, watch the game as the quarterback, etc.
I read or watched someone say that eventually NFL stadiums would be intimate 20,000 seat stadiums designed for cameras and the home audience rather than the stadium audience.

Virtual reality tailgating or gtfo
Is that what the forum is?
20,000,000 doesn't sound that intimate.
There's a Black Mirrror episode to be developed around this somehow.
