Broncos @ Jets, October 7th

[BroncoWave]

I've already seen 3 or 4 other people express interest in going to this game, so it might be fun to get a tailgate together. Who all is interested in making it to this one?

[Valar Morghulis]

I have just been checking flights - very cheap to New York........

I was fairly confident getting the manky-est cheapest accommodation i could in Denver but being completely safe - i don't feel that way about New York (possibly wrongly). So if i was to do it, but on a budget, what areas are cheap, but reasonably convenient for cool shit to do in the city?

And also what is transport like to the Meadowlands?

[slim]

I will probably be there.

[BeefStew25]

I got my tickets today!

[Dapper Dan]

If Dave goes then I’ll go.




Does that sound too desperate?

[Valar Morghulis]

Not at all - i am only making this post to bump this thread in the hope that someone replies to my question about accommodation and transport in NYC - is that too desperate

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I would stay away from dive motels in NY Dave. It’s not as safe as Denver is.

Stay in Hells Kitchen, western Manhattan near the Lincoln tunnel. Still not "cheap" but definitely more affordable than Time's Square. Not just for accommodations but food, etc. Transport anywhere in NYC is easy, use google maps and it will tell you how to get there on the subway. You'll go under the river, transfer to a train in Jersey, and boom.

You'd be staying in Manhattan. Very easy to go enjoy NYC. Times Square, 9/11museum, etc.

This is what I'm talking about...... Going to spend the morning googling hells kitchen accommodation etc..... Update to follow

[Valar Morghulis]

any neighbourhoods i should definitely avoid?

a) If i am on my own (the really dodgy parts - and if i am on my own, i will be doing it on the cheap)
b) If i bring the wife - she will feel uncomfortable in places i will feel totally safe

Cheers guys

[Shazam!]

If anyone was getting weekend accommodations in the area for the Jets game and had a vehicle or was going to rent one, i would suggest staying up north a bit in Westchester County.

Unless you are hell bent on going to Manhattan, seeing the super-rodent NYC rats, getting raped in the wallet, and want to be in the chaos of Times Square.

Best place to stay in New York? It's called "Connecticut".

There is nothing to do in CT and way better sluts can be found closer to the city.

If you're by yourself stay over in Jersey. Close to the stadium and MUCH cheaper. You might hit a dodgy neighborhood.

If the wife comes stay in Manhattan. More expensive, but close to all the tourist stuff and very nice.

thanks man.

I am 50/50 at the minute.......

Is New York like London......... Actually really safe in the center??

Also, to get tickets, is that done through the Broncos website or a stub hub style deal?

[Davii]

Ticket master, StubHub, or from the Jets box office when they go on sale. Just make sure it's a legit site or you're probably going to get scammed.

NYC is a lot safer than you'd think. There are cops everywhere. Manhattan is safe. Yeah there are pick pockets, etc but being aware of your surroundings will keep you out of any trouble. The subway is clean and efficient, and cheap! I'm a big fan of visiting NYC. I prefer staying in downtown Brooklyn area, near the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. Cheaper, tons of great restaurants and bars, shopping, etc. It would be a long commute to the stadium by subway from there though, 30 mins by cab but that's pricey and good luck getting one when you leave.

[Shazam!]

Davii. The subway is ****ing disgusting! Burn your clothes after a ride and you will need a turkey baster with chlorine to clean the smell out of your nose because it will linger for 3 days... and the rats?

Safe? Yes. As long as youre not a target. But beware the driving idiots if renting a car.

[PatriotsGuy]

If you stay in Jersey, say Hoboken, you can take the ferry to the city

I've never found the Subway to be bad.

When was the last time you rode it

[Poet]

Don't you cheat on me with that fancy European rogue!

[BroncoWave]

I'm pretty sure it's not cheating if they're from another country!

[BroncoJoe]

I think he was just there earlier this year.

Its disgusting bro... Some lines may be better than others.

October.

[Davii]

There are worse lines, no doubt, but they're still not that bad. There's no fecal matter on the benches, etc. I wouldn't eat in the subway, but it's not that bad.

[Valar Morghulis]

I am familiar with the Paris metro and the underground in both Glasgow and London, so the cleanliness aspect of it, really isn't something I am bothered about.

I have heard stories that homeless people jerk off on the platforms, is that true? My wife would love that.

During normal usage times I didn't see anything at all I would consider unusual. There was a crazy guy muttering to himself, a few folks preaching, etc. Nothing like masturbating homeless folks.

After hours was different, but still not bad. There were some homeless guys sleeping in the Station, a few on the train, but nobody bothered us.

Won't be able to make it.

I have conflicting work commitments I can't get out of.

Kinda gutted, kinda relieved as it would have ended up costing me a fortune lol

Isn't the places being told to avoid part of the experience of visiting New York? I'd ride the subway just to say I did, and see for myself if rats are really as big as small dogs.

If you're ever up in Los Anchorage, mi casa es su casa. We could hike the mountains, and maybe we could get Kinger up here. :D

Who all is for sure going to this game? Probably should get my travel arranged pretty soon if I commit to going.

How long is your drive?

Gawd the meadowlands sucks.

Would be a 5 hour drive but I'm also considering flying.

The rats are fearless here but idk about as big as small dogs, unless youre talking about a lil 5lb teacup lapdog.

[BroncoJoe]

That's right on the border of flying or driving. Fight is what, 1.5-2 hours? But, you have to drive to the airport, get there at least an hour early, wait around and have to deal with security, then you get to your destination and have to either wait for a cab, or be shuttled to a rental car agency/lot, then drive to your hotel.

I'd drive, but I also just did a 4,000 mile trip too, so...

I live 5 minutes away from our local airport and it usually takes 10 minutes tops to get through security there.

[Shazam!]

Im considering it. I hate going to games because if the Broncos lose, im gonna be devastated.

I didn't go to the SB because of that, im so glad i did not go.

If anyone would consider renting a car, staying north in Westchester County is much less than staying in Manhattan. 30 ms away, an hour or so if heavy traffic.

Nope. Ive been to too many crushing defeats, why would i want to be present at a Broncos Super Bowl, if it is a blowout? All the xanax in the world would not help me recover. Im so happy i didn't go there, and i could have easily.

You should go to a super bowl win sometime. It’s great.

Were you in the Bay Area in Feb 16

F that. Not worth it to me. I'm losing an hour plus off each day I spend in the city, have to try and fight to park somewhere or spend outrageous parking prices, etc. To me it's just not worth the savings, which when you factor in parking, gas, the rental car itself you're lucky if you're saving much at all.

Good for him. The Seattle SB would have ruined me.

[BroncoNut]

maybe I will go if I can get a ticket.

They lost because you didn’t go.

I wish that were true.

I could have went for free. My Co handled security during the Super Bowl City.
