    No, I didn't think to take one from the top row when I was there. Didn't know we'd be comparing it to FedEx Field. I have photos from row 8 which I've already posted.

    I agree with the posts a few back - you go to the game for the entire atmosphere. Great seats are, well, great, but in a full stadium it almost doesn't matter. Nothing at home compares. If you are in the last row, you get something no one else lower than you does - the view of "everything".

    But that isn't the point. Again, I'll sit anywhere BUT when you are used to seeing the game from a certain view and the that view gets much worse it's disappointing. My first season tickets I sat in the last row in sec 309 but I loved the view up there, it's seems like a much worse view in the new building in those comparable seats.

    It looks better at our Stadium but that pic is taken from the front of the UD and the Skins one is at the back.

    Some of my favorite times at Gaint Stadium were watching my favorite backfield duo ever of Walker and Carthon for the NJ Generals.

    The Gamblers and Generals were merging for what would have been the '86 season which never took place b/c the league folded thanks to Trump.

    I still dislike Trump to this day just because of that. Spring/Summer football with quality players was great fun. The Generals could never get past the Stars though.

    WLAF and XFL were just fun as a goof.

    i remember enjoying the games, i dont remember the situation with trump? what was his part in ruining that league? i had thought they just couldnt gain any popularity because people didnt care enough to watch football all year.

    they really did a commendable job bringing in ALOT of talented guys to that league. i remember it being such a coup that the generals signed herschel walker. it almost made the league legitimate.

    The lawsuit against the NFL where the USFL won I think $3 and moving the games to Fall/Winter to compete against the NFL were led by Trump and killed the USFL.

    Yup. The ruling was $1 and there is some law that triples the amount, so it was $3 and the end of the USFL.

    I agree, it was great spring/summer football before Trump killed it. That's why I laugh when people say what a savvy businessman Trump is, that was the first most people heard of him and it was a colossal fuck up.
