Title: NFL stadium news
Post by StegRock on Apr 7^th, 2004, 11:43am

Awww, what the heck, right? This stadium news has been littering "The REAL Feed" lately and it is something that we fantasy footballers may want to consider. So, let's do a thread on it! [smiley=shrug.gif] Here's the latest news:

Just reportin', for those interested. From "The REAL Feed":

New Stadium for "G-Men"? (http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/sports/7804-nystadium.html)

At 28 years, Giants Stadium is one of the oldest venues in the NFL, and the team has been considering whether a renovation is needed to bring the added revenue and comfort expected in the 21st century.

Regarding the article, I have been to Giants Stadium and I personally, without knowing the "numbers" of course, think an upgrade to the current stadium would be all that is necessary. It's a pretty darn good facility that I think just needs to be brought a little bit more "up to date". [smiley=shrug.gif]

Now I digress... [smiley=builder.gif] There was some really good construction going on in central, urban New Jersey in the late 60's and 70's, namely the Meadowlands Sports Complex and Newark Airport, which remains one of the best, most efficient airports I've been through (and I have been through A TON). Like the stadium complex, it just needs a little "uplift" (from time to time).

If they demolish Giants Stadium, they might find Jimmy Hoffa!
