It won't be a “banner day” for the Giants at MetLife Stadium.
Or maybe it is in another sense.
High Exposure Aviation Advertising has canceled orders for three planes carrying the banner to fly over MetLife Stadium before the Giants' final home game against the Colts on Sunday at 1 p.m., a sales manager at the company told the Post. Ta.
Federal Aviation Administration regulations prohibit banner planes from flying when the cloud ceiling is less than 800 feet, officials said.
High Exposure, based in Woodbine, N.J., began contacting customers Friday to cancel orders because the forecast called for high winds, low clouds and rain.
Of course, another company could try to fly, but if FAA regulations are ignored, the FAA will impose hefty fines.
Two different message senders hired High Exposure to put up banners aimed at Giants owner John Mara before the final two home games.
The original messager, who remains anonymous, sent the message on December 8th: “Mr. Mara Enough – please fix this dumpster fire.”
It was a throwback to 1978. At the time, fans, fed up with the series' lowest point in history, came up with the idea to send a message to John's father, Wellington Mara.
The fan, who later identified himself as “Miguel” on the Talkin' Giants podcast, went to press on Dec. 15 with a banner warning, “Enough is enough, Mara – we won't stop until you're all fired.” According to the report, it doubled for $1,500.
Miguel said that by “everyone” he meant general manager Joe Schon and head coach Brian Daboll, but he explained that disrespecting individuals at the direction of the company is unacceptable.
The Giants are down 7.5 points against the Colts on Sunday, but they hope to extend their franchise-record losing streak to 11 games and lose their home game for the second time in the franchise's 100-year history (joined in 1974). Trying to avoid victory.
It is not clear what the three banners on Sunday said.
