I hope Rutgers can step-up for 1 season. Give them a suitcase with hundreds in it to get them to agree (I have to believe AEG has a "bribe" account somewhere ). Just get out of GS!

Bears/Eagles Stadium in Newark would do just fine, for one season.

I'm all for Metro playing at Newark Bears park, some other complex, or a damn floating barge in the passaic river. I think it makes more sense for AEG/Metro to not lose the $5 mil in rent than it does for NJSEA to kick them out. It's not like they are doing anything with the dates Metro uses (Sat nights in April-May are big concert times? And, look at your sched, we're booted to Sundays the next 2 home games).

not sureOk, so who here thinks MLS will make Metro tank next year at... Bears Stadium, or Rutgers, or Mitchel field, or whatever? If the Giants Stadium lease indeed has run out, why would NJSEA not try to screw the Metros for 2006? So the league can comply, and we might see the Dallas situation replicated in New Jersey. And then for 2007...
STADIUM!

as it is, the atmosphere shall be, um, er, interesting at the remaining games this year.
But if there was another place to play for a year or two, woudln't Metro have already explored that opp? I'm not sure there is another place to play who would have AEG/Metro. We'll see though.

Well, Figo is about to sign a two-year deal with Inter Milan. So he is tied up until May/June 2007Ok, so who here thinks MLS will make Metro tank next year at...

7 games in Rutgers, expanding the stadium like Naperville.
7 games in Long Island at Mitchell Field, maybe expand slightly.
2 games at Giants Stadium as doubleheaders, and make them big ones in lieu of the World Cup.
This would expand the fan base and then meet centrally at Harrison in 2007, almost in the middle. It would ingrain us a little more to the NYC media as well.

Very creative. I like it. A good way to begin (again) building the fan base.I'd love to see a split 16 game home schedule:
7 games in Rutgers, expanding the stadium like Naperville.
7 games in Long Island at Mitchell Field, maybe expand slightly.
2 games at Giants Stadium as doubleheaders, and make them big ones in lieu of the World Cup.
This would expand the fan base and then meet centrally at Harrison in 2007, almost in the middle. It would ingrain us a little more to the NYC media as well.

I would like to add one other thing: You can't do it.
Simple reason: You want fans buying season tickets under the guise of "priority seating" at the new stadium. You can't have fans from Long Island buying season tickets and then driving 3-hours, one way, to Rutgers and then other fans in Randolph buying tickets and driving out the LI to get in a game.
You either need to stay put at Giants Stadium, or you shift to a location near the location you are building.
