Pricey PSLs rock Giants fans
Over the next few years, New York-area fans will settle into several comfy, new, state-of-the-art sports palaces. Nice. But make no mistake: It will cost you. The latest evidence came Thursday, with the Giants' announcement they will sell personal seat licenses to help finance a $1.6-billion stadium they and the Jets are building in the Meadowlands. The news wasn't surprising, but it was a blow to many season-ticket holders unhappy with the notion of paying to preserve their right to pay for tickets. "I'm stunned," said Calvin Lang, 72, of East Hampton, who said he has had season tickets since 1960. "Gosh, I don't even know the correct word. It's .insane." Giants president John Mara agonized over the step, saying "it was not an easy decision for us," but he said there was no way to avoid it given the cost of the project. "We think and believe that this decision is necessary to secure the future of the Giants franchise for the next 40 years," Mara said.

Welcome to the new NFL. We had to do it in Philly. They do this because they know we will pay.

You would think since 2 teams are playing in the stadium that the PSL's would not cost a single team stadium. Guess not

Supposedly the Jets PSLs will be $50K! They are trying to get rid of the little fans, the ones that have had the tickets for generations and horde them. Now they will all be owned by corporate interests and ticket scalpers.
I feel bad for the people who's lives revolve around going to the games.

The teams offices are in NY, not NJ. The agreement says they have to be called the NY Giants or Jets, not NJ.

Until people stop paying for them, this will continue. Stop saying your outraged and actually do something about it. Once people stop buying them, ownerships will get the message.

Good luck with this garbage NY fans. Us Philly fans have been putting up with this for a few years now. It's simply another way to squeeze every penny out of the true die hard fans

Troy. Great idea but we both know that'll never happen. We need our football and the owners knew that.

You can thank the Carolina Panthers for this idea. Looks great on taxpayer paper but it sucks for the "real fans"
