Fun event
by Dave on 2/21/24MetLife Stadium - East RutherfordRating: 3 out of 5It was a fun event/ good atmosphere for a one time novelty. In reality, even though I was sitting in the 100's, the stadium isn't conducive for hockey (sight lines aren't great, you can't follow the puck very well & the islander jerseys were horrible. The player numbers were illegible unless they were facing you which made it very difficult to tell what player was on the ice). All of my prior complaints are minor in comparison to my continuous amazement as to what a complete disappointment Metlife stadium is. I go to multiple Jet games a year and I can tell you that there is absolutely NOTHING special about this place. The club sections are fair but once you sit anywhere else, the stadium is a disaster (ridiculous lines for the concessions and bathrooms. I felt like I was back in the old Nassau coliseum where I would run to the bathroom during the game so I could avoid a 20 minute wait in between periods). Even when you see a great game at this stadium, you will surely be in a bad mood after you sit in traffic for an hour trying to exit the lot.
