Tailgating

When visiting the Jets you must tailgate, and when you do there’s only one place to do it.

In the parking lot (car park) at section D10, you’ll find Frank West AKA Jet Green Santa

The pre-game party in D10 typically includes music, food and an amazing menu from Frank. There’s beverages, and games to kick off what will definitely be an unforgettable day and the best part of it all is, it’s free! Frank just asks that you make a donation to Marty Lyons Foundation

Frank is a life long NYJ fan and a perennial home game tailgater, who you’re sure to find at EVERY Jets home game. He’s also a police detective and is one of a quintet admitted into the inaugural class of the New York Jets Fan Hall of Fame in 2017

His talents as a culinary artist were even highlighted when he appeared on the Food Network’s show “Chopped” as a Jets representative.
