What about Bob?

There has been a question/concern about the Jets' PSL policy sent in via e-mail and comments on the blog, and I reached out to the team to get an explanation.

Some have wondered whether the seats they now have at the Meadowlands will be the ones they are assigned by the Jets for the new stadium. Not necessarily. Say you are in a mezzanine seat at the Meadowlands, and the corresponding area at the new stadium requires a hefty PSL fee. You are NOT required to take this seat, nor will the team assign that seat to you.

If you have enough seniority as a season ticket holder and want to move to, say, the upper tier in the new stadium (an area that does not require a PSL), you are free to do so and the Jets accommodate the request based on your seniority.

There is certainly a chance that enough people will choose to go to the non-PSL area, which will theoretically bump other season ticket-holders who prefer to sit there. But the Jets believe that when it all shakes out, there will be an appropriate seating arrangement for everyone.

They're not guaranteeing it, but the studies they've done indicate that most requests will be fulfilled.

Another reader wondered if his current seats - which are in the area that in the new stadium will be the Coaches Club seats at the new stadium - mean that he will have to join the bidding process and theoretically get shut out of the seats. Again, not necessarily. If the ticket holder wants to move to another area, and if he has enough seniority, he will be accommodated. In other words, just because his seats are now in an area that will feature prohibitively expensive PSL's because of the Coaches Club amenities doesn't mean he will be kicked out of the stadium.

Any more questions, let me know and I'll do my best to get an answer.
