Salvatore Salvato and friends at final tailgate at Giants Stadium

These are shots David Levy and I gathered before the sunday night football game between the Jets and the Bengals. This is also the final game to be held within the walls of the stadium. You will see previews of interviews we have been gathering in regards to the new stadium and the PSL’s the owner of the jets Woody Johnson is implementing. Dave and I also had the pleasure of meeting Eric Manassy of http://www.jetstwit.com we dropped by his tweetup at his tailgating spot at 13a.

Final Game at Giants Stadium Tailgaiting from Anthony Quintano on Vimeo.

Today dave and I had the chance to get a tour of the new stadium currently under construction. As we walked inside we were brought to a room in the old stadium to sign waivers so that the jets or the construction company were not responsible if we hurt ourselves on site. We were all given Jets hard hats, Neon Orange mesh vests and protective glasses. We were given a personal tour just the four of us Dave and I with our wives Kim and Gina. We were rushed through most of it because they had to keep the groups moving but there wasnt much to see as of yet since the majority of the work is still not finished. The newest addition to the construction site was the turf that was laid down just this week. Here is a video we recorded during our tour. My apologies for the shakyness of the video but we were in a rush going through the stadium and had to shoot a lot of the scenes on the move. hope you guys like it. Dave and I will be returning to the stadium in the spring for another tour when the stadium will be pretty close to being finished. Be aware that if you take this tour with the jets. Rule number 1 you are not allowed to bring VIDEO cameras. you can have still cameras but not video cameras. 2. The 2 tickets you get only go to the person who RSVP for the tour so make sure you do not go in a big group because the rest of the people in that group will not receive tickets.

Today is the second to last home game and boy is it getting colder outside. Dave and I arrived at the stadium at 9:00 am and we got right to it. Look who we run into. Santa and Mrs. Claus posing with a couple of fans.  We made some progress today with a number of emotional interviews and some really great stock footage. I will be posting some highlight clips either tonight or tomorrow so stay tuned.
