Have fun, Doug. Should be a good game. As for wearing your jersey, it depends on where you're sitting.

Or if you are going to get dropped into your seat from a helicopter. Why bother.

...and how he acts at the game. Jump up and down and make the first down sign everytime Moss makes a catch at your own peril. Respectfully root for your boy without aggravating those around you and most will leave you alone.

If his internet personality is to be believed, Doug strikes me as the former.

I know. I was trying to be optimistic.

I've seen many confrontations between fans. Almost everyone was started by the person rooting for the visiting team acting like a douche.

Go to the game, wear the jersey, don't respond to the verbal taunts and you'll be fine.

This is good advice. I've all seen a lot of confrontations at Jets games and they started similar to what you're saying.

Pretty much the rule at any stadium I've been to except Oakland Coliseum and old Veterans Stadium in Philly.

As a 14 year season ticket holder from Sec. 729 in the Vet, I can say with certainty that even sitting respectfully and rooting quietly was no guarantee of safe passage if it was obvious via colors. If the Birds won, visitors were subjected to good-natured ribbing. If they didn't, they were subject to much more unpleasant treatment.

MetLife Stadium is far different from the old Vet, my friend.

With the new stadiums and astronomical ticket prices, they have priced a lot of the trouble makers right out of the market.

Especially in the seat license era. The licence you sign when you get the tickets gives them the right to revoke tickets for any rediculous behavior. This makes resellers a little more selective.

It's not what happens in the stadium , it is what happens in the parking lot after the game when everyone is tuned up and after the 49ers pound the Jets... That is the concern. Not a smart move Doug.
