Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2405446, member: 2844"] You are wrong about Boston and football I'm a huge Giants fan but grew up in a Boston/New England Patriots family and frequented 100s of games going back to late 60's. Boston has always been crazy for the Pats even when playing at the old BU stadium. Plunkett et al were HUGE. Maybe you are too young to recall but to say pro football was not important to Boston is not true at all. Sure winning the 5 Super Bowls have increased popularity but that would happen in any market. Speaking of loyalty - did you see the number of empty seats at Giants Stadium Sunday - especially in the second half? Jets fans? Hell they know nothing better than what it is. 1969 is very ancient history [/QUOTE]
