New Stadium

On the Yahoo front page right now they have a feature about new "Super-Stadiums" being built within the next few years, and the new Giants Stadium is listed amongst the top-10 (along with New Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, and the MLS Red Bulls stadium being built...go NY/NJ!)

I was just wondering how everyone felt about the Giants (and Jets) getting a new stadium? Personally, I have mixed feelings: I think Giants Stadium has held up very well for a place built in the mid-70's, but the new stadium looks pretty impressive. I'm not thrilled about the PSL's, which are gonna force my uncle to downgrade from 8 season tickets on the 50 yard line (they've had them since the Yankee Stadium days) to likely only 2 seats that won't be anywhere near the 50. I do love the fact that there's gonna be a rail line directly to the stadium. So does anyone have any opinions?

Also, a question, it says on the website it will be ready for the 2010 season, I'm assuming that means there's still 2 seasons left in the current stadium, right? (Since this past season would be considered the 2007 season, even though the playoffs were in 2008?)

I'm not happy about it
I love Giants Stadium, there is something special about the place. I hate sharing a stadium with the Jets and their a-hole fans. Plus, I think the whole PSL thing is garbage

Agree with all you've said ....plus
Parking is horrible forcing tailgaiters to arrive even earlier , construction never ever proceeds as planned,and the thought of our beloved stadium having Jests on it is just flat out wrong. What ever happened to the old school proud tradition and all that, nope screw all the fans who've faithfully supported the team for decades there's a buck to be made. We all probably agreed somewhat at least last season that it would be nice to have a more boisterous and appreciative crowd such as attended the games back in the 80's(my vote for heyday). This is NOT the way to go about it though.
