New York City Sights – Jets for Sale?

By Brian | August 13, 2010 | Share on Facebook

Typically, the first year of a new sports stadium brings large crowds of casual, but curious, fans out to the stadium.

I didn’t realize how bad it was until I saw these folks, dressed in New York Jets jerseys, on the streets of New York, handing out fliers to buy tickets to the games.

And to add insult to injury, someone on the street was harassing them about ticket prices, prompting one of them to yell “I am not a Jet! I am not a Jet!” to passersby. I’m sure this is not what the Jets had in mind for a marketing strategy…
