How about ONE banner pointing out the 11 AFCC wins, and you simply change the banner when another occurs? Put it on the opposite side of the stadium from the SB banners, and you solve the space issue.
We can always rent space in The Meadowlands on the Jets side and we'll be able to enjoy them at least once a year.
The good news is we'll have the space already rented when Gillette runs out of Super Bowl banner spots and then we can move the AFC champion banners to maybe Miami or Buffalo.
My very personal opinion is that conference championships should be celebrated. However, I understand that for those who have become fans in the Brady era, conference championships are entitlements, and not winning the Super Bowl is a failure not to be celebrated.
Perhaps, my very personal opinion derives from being remembering the team playing for the first draft pick and picking high in the draft.
Define “celebrated.” Many of us who don’t want a banner for each AFC championship have been die hard fans for decades. I’ll try not to take insult from your post but it’s not easy.

I feel the same...but I don't feel they should be massive things like the Super Bowl banners. I think they either should all be on one banner or small....like round basket ball sized things on the opposite side of the stadium. I feel this way because I think it's a bit of an intimidation factor for other teams....which is why I want them in the stadium and not hidden in Patriots Place or HOF. Show them with pride...but not in your face and not near the existing ones.
We are such a spoiled fan base. I don’t believe in recognizing only Super Bowls. ALL Championships should be recognized. Division titles, Conference Championships, and Super Bowls. Maybe not all with banners but displayed in stadium somewhere. Maybe they’ll do it after BB is gone.
No. We are SB Champs or Bust. We should not minimize our standard of greatness. It is weird that this post came up while in Aruba this past week. The amount of people wearing Pats SB Champs gear is unbelievable. NE people everywhere. I did see a Falcons fan with a cap and NFC Champs shirt. I snickered. If it is not a SB Champs banner or T Shirt then you lost
I’d be supportive of (after Brady and bb retiring) hanging banners wherever that showcase all the division champ and conference champs they won together, sort of like an ode to them
