The even was a great opportunity for fans to make their opinions heard, and ask some of the most pressing team-related questions. You could only imagine how many times a certain free agent quarterback’s name came up.
When the doors first opened, Jets fans got to mingle with other fans and some alumni including Tony Richardson, Greg Buttle and Erik Coleman. A few lucky fans even got to speak directly with Bowles, Maccagnan, Woody Johnson and Glatt.
After around an hour of that, fans started to sit down, so that the show could get started. Fans were then addressed by the team’s radio host Bob Wischusen. The real fun was only just beginning.
