Well obviously, there will always be room for transit to a football game, and not everyone will tailgate, but it's pretty safe to say that at least 60-70% will come by car because of the tailgating, and no transit in the world will stop that.It may have been hard if the Jets went to the Rail Yards stadium in Manhattan that was planned. That was one of the biggest things fans had against it. It would have resulted in a parking garage, and the BBQing and much of the tailgating etc, would not have been able to be done in an indoor multi tier parking garage for safety reasons. That was one of the major complaints people had when they were building the new stadium even at the Meadowlands, as tailgating could not be done at the office park parking lots that people were bused to and from. And at least there people knew it was only temporary. |
