You got it!
Bringing the kids means your time would be spent babysitting and keeping an eye out for idiots the whole time.
Leaving the kids home allows you to focus on pounding back some brewskis and getting to enjoy watching Miami smoke the jets!
Drunk people do do stoopid things. Rival games increase that a little bit.
I have watched Miami @ Giants Stadium twice for jets home games and it was as expected.
Some drunk idiots and some drunk normal fans. :)

I'm doing Jax with a buddy this year. I hope as it gets closer, there will be more discussion about fans going and I can find out the sections where I need to buy tickets for.
Wasn't your point that it's a REAL takeover in Miami when they play the Jets?
yes, meaning we have many more fans in the stadium than you do in ours.
Not even close.
I'm not sure what age I'd ever take my daughter. 10 or above is likely. Not a chance in hell at 3 IMHO.

Ok. Even if that was true (no way to know), you can certainly see why that is right?
My son was almost 3 when we took him to his first game, my daughter was 3.
You will tell me about transplants but we have a big dolphin fan population up here. the Jets and Giants were awful in the 70s and all the great 70s teams have a lot of fans around here b/c of that. Miami, Dallas, Pitt and Oak.
It’s so bad you guys gave up a home game.
I used to hate seeing all the Miami fans at Jet home games, then I went to one in Miami. It wasn’t close, I haven’t been down there in a long time but I hear it’s like that every game.
I've never been to a Jets home game but I have been to Miami when playing the Jets. It was on a Sunday Night Football game and there definitely were a good amount of Jets fans there. It's easy to see why Miami is a "bad" spot for a pro team. If I wasn't a Dolphins fan, I'd love to go to Miami to see my NFL team play there. It's my favorite place in the world. What's better than going to Miami for a weekend, partying, going to the beach, and seeing football....especially in Nov or Dec where it's cold up north or in the Midwest?
NY is a big tourist area too even in the fall/winter.
We gave up a home game for a shot at an earlier SB bid. I've been to just about every Fin vs Jet game in Miami since '93. It's easily 85-90% Dolphin fans. Which is still an impressive 8-10,000 Jet fans (12-15,000 max in the worst case scenarios) but it's nowhere near this "takeover" that you speak of.

Most of the people that live in Miami came from somewhere else. I was born and raised there but that is the exception. People do not move to NY when they retire they come south so yes there are tons of Jets and Giants fans in Miami.
Never heard anyone say when I'm old and grey i want to move to NY. That's just the facts.
Heck even your pal Vaark was born there. He just had the good sense to become a Dolphin fan :)

you could have given up a home game to a different team I am sure.
But your one section is a “takeover”?

People don’t move to NY when they retire, they move there when they are young trying to make it. they don’t convert to fans of NY teams(for the most part).
NY is home to a ton of people. Miami is home to few lifelong residents and a ton of transplants for good reason.
