Weather keeps planes carrying protest banners away from the Giants’ home finale at MetLife Stadium

There may be clouds and rain in the skies above MetLife Stadium during the New York Giants’ home finale against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday – but there will be no aircraft flying protest banners.

According to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, three planes carrying banners were originally scheduled to fly over the stadium during the Week 17 game, but high winds, rain and low cloud cover caused High Exposure Aerial Advertising to cancel them.

Federal Aviation Administration regulations prohibit the planes from flying in cloud ceilings lower than 800 feet.

Before the Giants’ home games in Weeks 14 and 15, fans chartered planes displaying banners to express their displeasure with the team’s 2-13 season, targeting owner John Mara.

A banner read: “Mr. Mara Enough – Please fix this dumpster fire!” while the other said, “Mr. Mara Enough – we won’t stop until you fire everyone!”

The future of head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen will be decided after Week 18.

The Giants have yet to win a game at MetLife Stadium this season and could finish 0-9 at home – a first in NFL history – if they lose to the Colts on Sunday. They are currently on a record-breaking 10-game losing streak and have not had a winless home record in a season since 1974.

How bad is it? The New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers have won games at MetLife Stadium more recently than the Giants, with the local hockey teams winning games on February 17 and 18 during the NHL Stadium Series.
