The Jets could put a stop to this, if they wanted to. Back in the 70s and 80s, no woman flashed her tits at a Patriots home game for the simple reason no women would attend one, let alone children. It was back then the immortal observation was made that the true Patriots fan would **** in the sink even when urinals were available.
The Kraft family ended that with the decision to begin pulling the season tickets of fans who misbehaved. It worked. Patriots games are as close to models of decorum as NFL fans ever get.
The Jets sell out every game and have a season ticket waiting list. All they need is the desire to clean up their fans' act.

Well, that, and there's absolutely no reason to be mad.

Well, here's an interesting update:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/10/sports/football/10gate.html
Apparently, the original story only served to let even more Jets fans about the Gate D show. As much as the Times tried (in its prurient way) to shine some light on the subject, the situation seems to be much worse.
This is the third story about Gate D -- they also wrote a story after a Giants game. Wonder what's left. Red Bulls games? Izod Center across the street?

Don’t they also have a rule against cursing? I know that there have been instances where soccer fans have been thrown out for cursing.Michael_ Gee said:
Having seen and been a part of those fans, I’m not sure it is desired.Ike Broflovski said:

I've been to NFL games in more than a handful of locales, and I haven't witnessed any of this type behavior. I have no problems taking my sons to a game, and I have many times. I would hazard to say that in most places, the NFL is closer to Lugnuts' family experience description than to an outdoor strip club atmosphere. Perhaps the Northeast is different.
And to mix in a response from the other subject matter on this thread, Barbaro was such a big deal because of his Derby run. He won in convincing fashion, by a record number of lengths I believe, and I think people had the sense we were potentially looking at something very special. Something you had to go some 30 years back for a comparison. Because of that anticipation of greatness, Barbaro was clearly a national story.

Not to threadjack, but since you brought it up. I think the early line on the Jets/Pats in NE this weekend is 24 or 25 points. Would anyone here take the Jets, even with that point spread? Is there any doubt that this thing is going to end up 68-10, with the Pats recovering an onside kick and running a two-minute drill culminating in a TD pass to end the game?

It's funny you mention the Patriots.
Recently, the players have been complaining about the fans not standing up and cheering during the game, saying they wish fans would act like the ones in Baltimore did.
My buddy's dad has season tickets, 40 yard line, 10th and 11th row and let's us go to our fair share of games.
Whenever we stand to cheer, we get pestered by people behind us to sit down. Last year at a playoff game vs. the Jets, a woman yelled at us to sit down.
The problem now for Pats fans is the season ticket holders are deathly afraid of being ejected and losing their seats. The bottom bowl of the stadium sits nearly the entire game out of fear, which is something the Pats don't understand.

I am taking the Jets.
I said it earlier today, if fact. I've got no logic behind my guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets beat the Patriots. Not at all. However, I would be surprised if the Patriots beat the **** out of the Jets, either.

Maybe it is the wide-eyed optimist in me, but I think that it will be close. This is the Jets playoff game an assuming that they like their coach (I'm just not sure), they may put out a little extra defending his honor. Or they could roll over.
As an aside, given how Weis and Mangenius have crapped the bed this year, doesn't this make Belichick look even smarter?

how can you have any faith after watching Mangenius TWICE kick a field goal down by more than a field goal in the last three minutes yesterday?
He's historically overmatched. 77-0.

i'm thinking that between spygate and the genuine hatred Bellichick has for Mangini, that the Pats will score triple-digits.

Despite dry finale, Jets plan to resume beer sales next season
2007-12-31 11:57
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -The New York Jets plan to reinstate the sale of beer next season despite a ban in the season finale that appeared to curb fan rowdiness.
Whether sales will be limited and when the taps will be shut remain to be determined.
The Jets instituted Sunday's prohibition after increased security at their prior home game failed to dissuade hundreds of men from imploring women at Gate D to expose their breasts at halftime.
State troopers and Giants Stadium security personnel were deployed Dec. 9 after the behavior was reported in The New York Times. Fans of the New York Giants do not have a similar practice.
This Sunday, access to Gate D was restricted at halftime, with one ramp closed and the other partially open, said James R. Minish, executive vice president of facilities for the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority, which operates the stadium.
``We had fewer crowd control problems yesterday than we would normally run into during a football game,'' Minish said Monday, although he had no immediate figures on arrests and removals.
He attributed the calmer scene to the absence of alcohol and a small crowd of about 45,000, well below stadium capacity of about 78,000.
The beer ban was not announced before the game so that fans would not ``overindulge'' in the parking lot ahead of kickoff, Minish said.
The Jets prevailed 13-10 in overtime of their season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs, but some fans let authorities know they missed their suds.
``We want beer!'' some chanted at halftime, The Star-Ledger of Newark reported.
State Senate President Richard D. Codey, D-Essex, attended the game and endorsed the Jets' efforts to curb harassment of women.
``There's a little too much drinking,'' Codey told the newspaper. ``If you can't act responsibly, we don't want you at the game.''
