Lousy Giants football is good for business \u2014 some of them, at least.<\/p>\n

And so, when the Giants started their season losing their first three games, it came as no surprise to George Dunner that he was fielding calls for some action. <\/p>\n

Dunner is the sales manager at High Exposure Aerial Advertising, a New Jersey-based company that rents planes towing messages \u2014 some of which flew over MetLife Stadium last season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The news that broke this week<\/a>, though, might have mitigated the angst brewing in Giants fans that would prompt some of them to shell out big bucks to fly a negative message.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did think when I saw Jaxson Dart was getting the start<\/a>, I thought \u2018Okay, maybe we won\u2019t get as many,\u2019 \u2019\u2019 Dunner told the Post. \u201cBut I think people are just kind of fed up.\u201d<\/p>\n

You think? Dunner said there will be at least two planes flying over MetLife Stadium this Sunday morning prior to the Giants-Chargers game. Yes, Dart will make his NFL starting debut, head coach Brian Daboll confirmed on Wednesday, and that surely has the fan base excited about a possible new chapter for the franchise. But the frustration remains.<\/p>\n

Dunner said he already has one plane booked that will tote a negative Giants message and he knows that another company, AirSign North, has booked a plane with the similar intention. There could be a third plane booked by Sunday but only two will be allowed to fly over the MetLife Stadium airspace at any one time, based on Teterboro Airport flight regulations.<\/p>\n

The cost of renting these planes for between 20-30 minutes is about $2,000.<\/p>\n

During last season\u2019s 3-14 nightmare of a season, planes flew over MetLife Stadium in consecutive weeks<\/a>. The first toted the message \u201cMR MARA ENOUGH \u2013 PLZ FIX THIS DUMPSTER FIRE.\u2019\u2019 The second read \u2018MR MARA ENOUGH \u2013 WE WON\u2019T STOP UNTIL YOU FIRE EVERYONE.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The Post learned that Mara was unmoved by these flights.<\/p>\n

Dunner said the one plane he has booked for Sunday also directs anger at John Mara, the Giants\u2019 co-owner, but that the message is not insisting that Mara sell the team.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of what I\u2019m getting requests for are asking Mr. Mara to do something with this team,\u2019\u2019 Dunner said. \u201cAs a company I won\u2019t fly anything that is overly negative. If it said \u2018Fire Daboll\u2019 we\u2019re not flying it. Sell the team, I can tell you for sure we don\u2019t have one saying that but we would fly that.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Dunner said his company has flown banners with positive messages over stadiums for the Eagles, Ravens, Notre Dame, Penn State and Rutgers. He said he has never received a request for a banner with a positive message to fly over MetLife Stadium in his 14 years on the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust like sports talk radio, the negative always seems to get a little bit more juice when people are willing to spend money,\u2019\u2019 Dunner said. \u201cThe anger sort of leads them to do that more than when they\u2019re happy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lousy Giants football is good for business \u2014 some of them, at least.
