The New York Jets have gotten off to a tough start this season, standing at 0-7 and currently the only team in the league yet to secure a win. This rough streak has left fans searching for joy elsewhere, and some have found it right outside the stadium in Lot J.
Fans have been gathering in Lot J to participate in a unique speed dating event created by Nicole Esther. According to Andy Vasquez of NJ.com, Esther shared her motivation behind the idea:
“I’ve seen a lot of people complain about how hard it is to meet someone online,” Esther said. “And how people aren’t always representing themselves accurately on these sites. And I was just like, ‘got to be a way that people can meet who already have something in common.’ Jets fans have the Jets in common. Jets fans like to do tailgates. So, like, a tailgate where singles could meet, and not necessarily, like, to find love, maybe just find, like, a new friendship, or somebody to go to games with.”
In a world where many are looking for love, what better way to connect than with someone who shares your passion for the same team? Amanda Gudowitz embodies this mindset as she searches for a Jets fan to be the love of her life.
“Well, I’ve always wanted to end up with a Jet fan,” Gudowitz said. “Like, it has been my priority. My friends yell at me because I think I limit myself to Jets fans, but I’m OK with it. Like I want my kids to grow up Jets fans. And when Nicole [posted] about it, like, I was like, I would 100% be there. I also, like, thought about an event in my head, a Jets singles event, but I never thought anyone would actually do it.”
Hopefully, Gudowitz finds love at the event, and the experience becomes even sweeter if the Jets start winning games.
On the field, the Jets recently made a significant change during their latest game against the Carolina Panthers. Head coach Aaron Glenn decided to bench Justin Fields in favor of Tyrod Taylor. Despite the switch, the Jets still lost the game. Many fans and analysts are now wondering if this decision is permanent or just a temporary adjustment.
Fields has struggled this season, and if the Jets want to break their losing streak, improved play at the quarterback position will be essential. It will be interesting to see what Glenn decides in the coming weeks as the team looks to turn its season around.
