Out of curiosity, if the giants allowed fans would you go ?

ron mexico : 10/12/2020 11:40 am
To the game this weekend?

Let’s say they opened it up to 15k fans and you could get tickets at face value, would you attend.

If not, is it because of the team or because of the covid risk?

I believe

that I would go.
Yes

I wouldn't pay to watch this team

pre-COVID.
You could not pay me to go watch this garbage.  
Chef : 10/12/2020 11:48 am : link
It is more than just the ticket and parking costs.. all of the other associated costs, including time.
I haven't had any interest in attending a game  
Hades07 : 10/12/2020 11:48 am : link
in decades.

So, no, I wouldn't and it would have nothing to do with covid.
I wouldn't go with no Covid...

...that stadium sucks. I'd rather watch on TV.
no chance  
Justlurking : 10/12/2020 12:09 pm : link
I am enjoying my Sundays without suffering through this in person. Maybe a Thurs night game. That said they should open up a socially distant seating so that the maras can watch it either not sell out or all opposing fans attend. They need to feel the embarrassment that they deserve.
I wouldn’t

Waste my money on this sorry franchise right now.
No chance in

Hell.
I kinda miss  
crackerjack465 : 10/12/2020 12:12 pm : link
tailgating and I would probably go if we were good, but to watch us lose by 20 to the Bucs in a couple weeks in the middle of November in a lifeless grey stadium sounds miserable.

The stadium experience in NY is bad, and this is coming from a season ticket holder. I can't even justify it. It's so lifeless and boring.
No way.

As much as I love the Giants, my health and the health of my family come first.
I recently retired...  
jerseyboyLAX : 10/12/2020 12:14 pm : link
...and have all the free time in the world now

and I would NOT watch this garbage

even if 'no COVID' and you gave me primo seats for free

been watching since 1964

it's going to be a LONG time until this team is used to winning again....pretty sure I'll be long gone
yeah  
Black_Flag : 10/12/2020 12:15 pm : link
I would. I am going for the experience. The last 5 years or so taught me that -- it is just entertainment. Being the worlds #1 Giants fan or a "knowledgeable football fan" is complete waste of time. You pay the same money as the other guy. And guess what Bill Bellichek isn't going to hit you up at half time and ask your opinion on adjustments his team needs to make in the 2nd half.
In that shithole of a stadium

with this crap team?
I'd rather be hiking....
Our vote for/against the way the organization is run is with our money  
Go Terps : 10/12/2020 12:25 pm : link
I wouldn't pay to go to a game of they had the fucking vaccine available in the concession areas.
No.  
Mad Mike : 10/12/2020 12:33 pm : link
Properly spaced, I'm sure the risk is fairly low, but there's still security, walkways, etc.... Why bother? Absent COVID, I'd be there each week. Obviously much, much less fun when the team is terrible, but I just love going to Giants games.

I didn't think of it that way. If I didn't have any issues with the Giants as an organization, I'd go if I thought it was safe. Limiting attendance is fine, but what do they do about bathrooms, concessions, etc.?

But you're right. I'd vote with my feet until we get new management.
i'm not the target audience  
UConn4523 : 10/12/2020 12:35 pm : link
I do'nt really enjoy live NFL games to begin with so I already wouldn't be going. The better question would would I go to a UConn Basketball game and I think i'd still pass right now.
I'm  
liteamorn : 10/12/2020 12:39 pm : link
Not going to any events until this Covid is way behind us .
I might consider going...  
BillKo : 10/12/2020 12:42 pm : link
....with proper spacing and masks required (which would certainly be the case).

But then I'd have to make a full day of it to see some pretty bad football LOL........so while I'd love to get back to even more normalcy, I'd have to pass.

And tailgating would help with normalcy, but tailgating in a parking lot at 25% capacity would remind me of the games I attended at the end of 2003..........that's not tailgating.
No,  
truebluelarry : 10/12/2020 12:45 pm : link
mostly because I loathe MetLife Stadium.

If I had the opportunity to see the Giants at an away game (other than Philadelphia) I would do it.

was the last Giants home game I'll ever go to.

Been to enough. If I'm going to a game, it's going to be on the road.
Haven't gone once during the Dave Error

And as long as he's destroying the franchise, I have zero desire to give them one cent of my money.
Seriously? No.  
Big Blue Blogger : 10/12/2020 1:14 pm : link
1) Significant and totally unnecessary health risk;
2) Two awful teams;
3) Dreary stadium.

The only reason I would have considered going to see the 2020 Giants live was to watch Saquon Barkley in person.
You guys should go  
LBH15 : 10/12/2020 1:15 pm : link
but I will be there in spirit.
Nope  
halfback20 : 10/12/2020 1:16 pm : link
I'm probably getting rid of directv so wrong even be able to watch games anymore. Wouldn't pay the money they want for tickets right now.
I'd go  
GMen72 : 10/12/2020 1:17 pm : link
Might be the only game we win this year.
Hellz yeah  
Spider43 : 10/12/2020 1:59 pm : link
How long is the waiting list again?
I wouldn’t even consider it  
Danny Kanell : 10/12/2020 2:51 pm : link
And it has nothing to do with COVID.
I wouldn't go  
Gman11 : 10/12/2020 4:52 pm : link
if they gave me free tickets, paid my transportation there and bought me food and drinks.
No  
Saquads26 : 10/12/2020 4:54 pm : link
I would never give shitbag Mara a dime
Yup, I’d love to go to a live game  
mfsd : 10/12/2020 5:05 pm : link
even though we suck
Tailgate  
Simms : 10/12/2020 5:55 pm : link
If my tailgate crew gathered (50-75 people) probably.

But as noted in a cold damp lifeless stadium they built makes it tough.

Know of several people who punted their season tickets regardless.

Attending a game is a 13 hour day for me, I honestly might end my streak for a game or two.. if they came back this season.
Before COVID I wouldn't pay face value for the combo  
Matt M. : 10/12/2020 5:59 pm : link
of that putrid stadium and this putrid team. So, now? Hell no. Maybe, and this is still a VERY small liklihood, maybe for something like $15 tickets and concessions deals I'd take my boys, who never went to a game.
I would go  
RobCrossRiver56 : 10/12/2020 7:05 pm : link
I love the tailgating experience in the parking lot. Inside I'm pretty sure things would be fine with limited attendance.
I would probably attend with some conditions  
ron mexico : 10/12/2020 7:32 pm : link
Not missing any kids sports
The weather is nice
My crew is willing to attend with me.

That is for a Wash game we have a chance of winning.
I probably pass against a better opponent
I may never be in that stadium again...  
EricJ : 10/12/2020 8:19 pm : link
and I own season tickets.
I'd go if I was allowed  
Bubba : 10/13/2020 6:51 am : link
to wear a paper bag over my head instead of a mask.
This is a trcik question...  
Bill L : 10/13/2020 7:40 am : link
Almost nobody here qualifies.
NO.  
x meadowlander : 10/13/2020 9:22 am : link
Because of CoVid.

Any other year, hard YES. I became a fan as a kid, LOVED the tailgate parties, the shitty 70's Giants games were an afterthought. The old 4J tailgate I used to go to back in 78-79 is STILL going strong.

TV is another story. There are far better ways to spend a Sunday than yelling at my TV. I'll come back when the Giants start winning again.

There is no longer a waiting list. Once all the PSLs were sold, no list.
