The Giants and Jets are preparing to move into the most expensive stadium in NFL history, a monument that will cost $1.6 billion to make.
Now the Giants just need to convince their fans to show up for the games.
In a nod to the sagging market for season tickets, the Giants are cutting their remaining unsold tickets by 37 percent. Club seats will still require a $7,500 personal seat license fee, but tickets per game have been slashed $400 to $250.
The Giants have already taken one stroll through their 140,000 waiting list for season tickets.
They will ask again with the new price decreases.
Still, the team has plenty of time before moving into the building for the 2010 season.
Although the ticket price drop sounds like a desperate measure, the Giants have already sold all but 4,000 seats at the 82,000 stadium.
It appears they won’t face the same embarrassing highly visible empty seats that have plagued the new Yankee Stadium.
The Jets have not revealed how many seats they have sold.
Or, as the case may be, not sold.
