How about not getting up in the middle of the play to go to concessions.
Also to the drunk chick the randomly sits in row 12 in 319:
-We don't care you're drunk on a Monday
-We don't want to hear your "Let's go Bombers, **** the Riders" chant during a Jets game
-No one cares your friend is sitting across the rink
-Yes, that guy is cheering for the other team, asking him each period won't change that.
-No one cares that you're eating a hot dog. You don't have to yell this all period.
-Screaming for the Jets to shoot in their own zone makes little sense.
People will always complain that they can't afford a real jersey. Save up for one or buy a couple shirts or a hoodie. I'd much rather do that than have my money supporting crime overseas.
Rock on, bro. I'd rather see someone in a nice T than in a fake jersey.
The rows are tight as hell especially if you are fat. So watch the cup holders as you squeeze to get back to your seats. Every drop of beer is precious at those prices, and the person below might be pissed to get it on their authentic jersey.

THANK YOU.
Went to 2 road games in the states this year, didn't happen once at either game. At the Jets games, well, almost non-stop because of people trying to get sloshed but beat the lines.
This guide comes a little late given that there is but one home game remaining this season.
That said; while the game is in progress do not leave your seat until play has been blown dead by the ref. Similarly, do not return to your seat until play has been blown dead. Then promptly hustle your ass back to your seat and be seated in it prior to the resumption of play. Do not block the view of those of us that wish to actually watch the game.
PS: Don't bring a sign to the game; this isn't pro wrestling. Thanks in advance.

/end rant
Thank god im not over there... that would drive me crazy. Sorry to hear that.
Dont leave the game with 2 minutes left... i dont know if i will ever understand this. Why would you not want to see the ending? Missing the beginning is understandable, but to leave early to beat traffic... you should probably just stay at home if bedtime is that important.
Oh, and if you are in the first row by the railings of the upperdeck and you feel its necessary to bring your baby. Please for the love of god, hold onto it with both hands. I was having panic attacks from row 2 all throughout the game.
Do not boo the American anthem, and certainly keep your mouth shut during a moment of silence.
My main advice is to focus MORE on cheering the Jets than harassing the opponent.
Goalie harrassing is ok, boo the star player sure, but once we get into namecalling it more often than not only pumps up the opponent.

Most of the usual complaints addressed here (constant leaning, dawdling back to your seat during a break in play, etc.). I'll add a couple more:
-nothing bugs me more than people who decide smack-dab in the middle of the concourse is a perfect place to have a beer and convo with their friends. Seriously, those "crevices" in the upper bowl are there for a reason, and the concourse gets jammed up enough as it is. Take a couple steps to your left or your right, and resume conversing there, where there's plenty of space, forcing you to pretzel yourself up in your seat.
-respect the fact that leg and elbow room in the upper bowl is at a bit of a premium. Some unintentional footsie and elbow bumping is going to happen. It pisses me off seeing guys smaller than me who splay their legs and elbows out like it's their couch at home.
I agree. Lets be honest, the point of buying any sports jersey is to support the team, and not be 'fashionable'. If you're buying a fake, then well you're not actually supporting the team...you're likely supporting criminal activity (trafficking of illegal goods), and unregulated/illegal/unethical labour somewhere.
And they just look bad. The latest batch I've noticed still don't have the sizing of the arm stripes right, and the spacing of the letters is wrong. They also seem to have numbers that are overly italicised, and slanted more than real numbers. (as opposed to the first batch of fakes, which didn't have italicised numbers at all)
You look bad, you look cheap. And even if you didn't look bad and cheap, it's still wrong, IMHO.
The worst instance of a fake jersey I had ever seen was during the Tampa Bay game on November 14. Dude sitting behind us was wearing a fake jersey (with Hawerchuk on the back, which made it even more lame). As if that wasn't bad enough, he and his friends' beer went flying onto us after a Jets goal, but then pretended that nothing happened when we turned around. (Look, I realize that beer gets spilled during games, and I'm ok with that, but at least have the decency to say "Sorry bud, it was an accident".) And it gets better - this bozo won the 50/50 draw at the end of the night. Just further evidence that the idea of karma may not be real.

I totally remember that lame-o, section 327 at the top, right?
If I remember correctly, he was wearing one of these:
There's "fake", then there's "it's not even close-fake".

Yes! These two things.
1. Why am I more worried about the safety of your child than you?
2. Grow up and show some damn respect. I think it's retarded that they play national anthems before sporting events, but since they do, shut-up, because it's not fun, funny, or edgy to make noise at that moment.

THIS!!
I honestly cant say I've heard any booing at the Jets games during the American Anthem. But My god why do some people just have to hear themselves.
During both the Cal Murphy and Rick Rypien moment of silence there were a number of Jack As$es Yelling Crap..
As a season ticket holder I can't stress this enough. I hate when people sit on the edge of their seat, then lean over... I can't see anything and it's just plain annoying.
On top of this, I've literally had a girl fold her chair up and sit on that... lmao it is pretty ridiculous sometimes.
If the jets score... go nuts, but I'd like to at least be able to watch the game in the meantime.
^^This. And if you bring your kids (that's great, I have kids too) but don't assume that just because they are kids, they can stand up for half the game. I and everyone else behind them can't see through them. This would be the time to teach your kids to be courteous and aware of others around them. But if you're the guy sitting on on the edge of your seat leaning over, you're not sensative to anyone around you anyway so what are the chances you'll notice or care about your kid standing in everyones way.
Ok I'm done.
No wait, one more.
If I'm standing and cheering because the Jets just scored a big goal and everyone else in the building is on their feet, don't tug on my jersey and yell at me to sit down. Because if I do, that'll make 2 of us sitting.
The worst thing I have seen is a guy who is friends with Craig Heisinger wearing
a fake jersey while talking to him. He must be good friends with him as
Heisinger actually came to see him during the home opener and a few times during
the year. I can't believe he actually stands and talks to him while wearing the jersey.

Reason: typo
If you need to buy a beer during intermission, don't go to the only lower bowl concession stand (apart from the stand-alone Tim Hortons) that sells Tim Hortons. There are SO many places to buy beer, including many "beer-only" hawkers who never seem to have a line up at their little stands.
Also, I don't care what you're doing, you don't need to get up during play more than once the entire game. Most people are awesome about this. If you're going just for the experience, and don't care how much of the game you miss, find an aisle seat or somewhere far away from me

YES! It was novel for awhile, but I think there was a point where the chants were getting too cocky. We were signing checks that our boys were expected (and sometimes unable) to cash.
If you're buying a fake, then well you're not actually supporting the team...you're likely supporting criminal activity (trafficking of illegal goods), and unregulated/illegal/unethical labour somewhere.
