Mortgage Guy Pays $400K in Green to be Near Gang Green

2008_10_greenjets.jpgThe Jets fan who spent $400,000 for the personal seat licenses to two seats at the 50-yard line at the new Meadowlands revealed himself to the Post, saying, "It's a function of wanting the best, both as a lifelong fan and as a business investment." David Findel, who has a mortgage lending company, will also need to spend another $14,000 a year on the seats themselves--"which come with a private VIP entrance, parking, a full spread of food and drink at a swanky restaurant and access to the field during the game." And Findel might not ever use the seats himself--he says he got them for his two kids. He also gave a shout out to the housing crisis, "Although part of the mortgage business is in turmoil, this is an opportunity to invest in my business - and to further demonstrate our loyalty to the New York Jets."

    If you wanted the best, you wouldn't root for the Jets.

    Not sure why the Jets needed a new stadium to begin with. They play 8-10 games a year at their home stadium. Ahhh corporate greed...

  • SikBug

    Did they sell the ones for the Giants yet?

    I wonder what they would have charged for those seats for a team that isn't one of the historically worst teams in the NFL (at least for one of the older teams).
