It will be in Lot J of the stadium and will feature appearances by Maurice Jones-Drew and Tony Boselli. I believe it will be an official kickoff event for the drive to sell out the stadium vs the Colts on December 17th. If anyone isn't stuck at work and can attend, please do and then write a fan post about what went on.

Despite holding a one-point lead with under two minutes remaining, the Jets were without a timeout and were conceding a Jags score in hopes of returning the kickoff and driving down for a game-winning score of their own.
