"As it turns out, the giveaway is not for all season ticket holders. Rather, the single soda can only be obtained by the season ticket account holder. That means no matter how many season tickets a person has purchased, they are entitled to just a single soda."
Maybe this was the Mara's big thank you to the fans for all their negativity all year long. In which case, he is having one big laugh tonight as he absorbs one more lousy season under his management.

"You don't like your free Pepsi? Maybe next year you get nothing, you crybabies."
Giants Management: "Pepsi, Stat!"
They benched Glennon....
LOL
It's not "outrage." It's derision.

Well done. Welcome to BBI.

They could've completely avoided any criticism over this by not doing anything at all. Or, they can give away something alittle better than a shitty soft drink.
No they couldn’t. If it wasn’t this it would be something else.
Not if it's something that's at least half way cool.
Hey, they earned this. Not every fan out there is happy to eat shit, drop thousands of dollars per year for a shitty product for a decade straight. Can't blame them.
And again, as they should be. They've been the laughing-stock of the NFL for a decade now and alot of these fans have paid thousands of dollars per year, on top of the PSL payment when they first become a season-ticket holder.
It's good Mara and Tisch have fans like you on here to defend them, though.
It is really that difficult to see the absurdity of the promotion under the circumstances?

But they would be mocked fir something, don’t kid yourself.

Do you have season tickets? If not shut up because you don't get it. I've wasted thousands on their product with no enjoyable return. Let them eat cake is what they gave us with this.
But they botched free soda. It's just emblematic of the entire operation.

The fact that they gave away free soda doesn’t stir emotion in me whatsoever. The fact that it does the fan base speaks more of them than the team.

People are fucking weird.

My thoughts exactly

This franchise is in the toilet in more ways than one. Nobody should be going to these godawful games. Nobody. Some folks like to eat crap it seems. Save your money and do something else---anything else. Stay home and watch the game. This way you can avoid traffic and change the channel.
precisely.
So that means, if i went to the game and sat in a buddy's seats I still couldnt get the soda because I sold my seats.
Because of a medium soft drink?
Run the numbers please.
... Very serious question though: does Dave Gettleman own an iron and/or ironing board?
They think it's 1980 and that a free Pepsi actually is worth it to people. Mara is so lost on EVERYTHING.
Hell I don't even enjoy watching the games on TV anymore much less wanting to go through the effort of going to games. I was back in NJ for Thanksgiving and went to my first game in 2 years (vs. the Eagles), and that was fun simply because I went with family and a friend, but I don't see myself doing that again for another 2 or 3 years. I used to try to make a game *at least* once year, but I don't have the same drive to do that anymore.
I live in Nashville and was "lucky" enough that today the Giants game was on down here. Typically that would be something I really look forward to all week (even as recently as earlier this year). Today I recorded the game and later just took like 20-30 minutes to fast forward through watching it mostly just to see if Michael Gallup did anything because I started him in fantasy. It's also funny from the start of watching it I already just KNEW the Giants had lost (not that I'd seen the score or anything) and I knew I was just watching to see exactly how they lost. It was one of the first times I've watched one of their games where from the very start of the game I never actually believed there was even one iota of a chance they could win.
Whoever paid for it spent about .12 for every soda that was redeemed. I figure a miximum of 30,000 sodas which cost about $3,600.
The only mistake the Giants made was labeling this promotion, "Fan Appreciation Day". If they had called it "Free Pepsi Day" then I don't think anyone would have had an issue with it.

Haha yeah exactly. Maybe if they wanted to show the fans appreciation they would have announced a full house cleaning is in store, here’s a drink to wash the decade of bad taste down your throats…instead they genuinely think this little of the fans that a Pepsi and maggot filled hot dog makes us happy.
