[Marat]

Yeah the game should have been on the weekend.

 

[James]

[gampelcrazies]

Tickets go onsale friday

 

[Ha Who]

Yeah the game should have been on the weekend.

And Scott Haney is calling for a dusting of snow. Doesn't bode well for showing p5 conferences our great fan base.

 

[gampelcrazies]

I don't care if the world was coming to an end. I am going to be at this game screaming and yelling

 

[alexd]

And Thursdays are a bad luck day for us historically. This sucks big time.

Seriously. That p.o.s. is still kicking around the Meadowlands? Why not Barclays

Don't understand the Thursday.

Don't understand the Thursday.

Made for TV event. BSPN likely controlled the time and day.

I would think Sat, Mon, or Wed. No?

During that time of year you have to deal with NFL playoff run (MNF and Saturday NFL games). Also you have other events like, the Jimmy V classic, B1G/ACC challenge, etc, which take up week night slots that BSPN has already filled between December 1 and bowl week. They have begun pushing for more marquee events in that time to fill the week nights slots and this fits. The NBA has Wednesday nights pretty much wrapped up too, for the four letter network I believe.

Isn't there a Thursday night NFL game? Perhaps they want to steal away viewers from that program. NFL play-offs shouldn't be going on until January.

As I clearly remember, the shot Tate hit against Clemson was on a Thursday at the Meadowlands.

Yes, there is a Thursday night game (Titans vs Jags) but two Saturday games (SF/SD and Was/Phi).

Is there a subway station near there?

 

[DarthGrumpy]

No. NJ transit does run special train service to MetLife Stadium, which is nearby, for some events; but no idea if that will be available for this.

 

[Waquoit]

This has to be a mistake. The FB team isn't playing that day.

If not, the Rutherford train station for NJ transit is a 5 min cab ride away....and the taxi stand is at the station

 

[Scot-e]

As the NCAAs showed it does not matter where or when we play anyone- it only matters if we play well.

Just in case, don’t try to walk it from Rutherford Station. Only way to IZOD from there is via Patterson Plank Road, which is not pedestrian friendly and very isolated.

23 posts, and only one is someone that is psyched to go to the game.

Pretty sad.

Make it two. I will be there.

 

[huskyjawz]

Seems like it will be another sad day, where our fans are outnumbered an hour from CT.
