New York Jets fans are known for their passionate support of the team at MetLife Stadium during the NFL season, often following the lead of Fireman Ed as they chant “J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets” throughout the game. However, Fireman Ed, whose real name is Ed Anzalone, recently expressed his disappointment with the game day experience at the stadium. In a video posted to his Instagram, Anzalone mentioned that he has been receiving feedback from fans about the Jet experience, particularly regarding the lack of screen time for the traditional Jet chant during games. He expressed concern that the team production team may be phasing out their involvement in the game day experience, impacting the home-field advantage that fans help create.
Anzalone called for fans to provide any information they may have regarding changes in the game day production at MetLife Stadium, as he believes that the decreased visibility of the Jet chant on the big screens is affecting the overall atmosphere and energy in the stands. As a lifelong Jets fan who has been at the center of Jets cheers for decades, Anzalone emphasized the importance of maintaining the fan traditions that help rally the team and create a competitive advantage at home games. While he did take a break from leading the chants in 2012 due to incidents with fans, he returned to his role in 2015 to continue supporting the team.
In response to Anzalone’s concerns, Fox News Digital reached out to the Jets for comment on the issue. The team has not yet provided a response to Anzalone’s remarks or addressed any potential changes in the game day production that may be impacting fan participation in traditional cheers and chants at MetLife Stadium. Fans are eagerly awaiting further updates on the situation and hoping for a resolution that will allow them to continue showing their support for the team in the same spirited manner they are accustomed to.
