The Jaguars may be forced to blackout most, if not all, eight regular season home games on TV. The Jaguars need to sell 50,000 non-premium seats at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium to lift the blackout, but theyre not close to that figure after finishing their season ticket renewal campaign. Tim Connolly, the teams senior vice president for business administration, declined to release the figure of how many non-premium seats theyve sold, but a league source put the figure in the 35,000-range. Its going to be challenging, Connolly said. Source: Jacksonville.com
jax has always had trouble selling out that stadium. how many seats did they end up permanently covering up with plastic sheets to make the stadium 'smaller'?
I would never wish for a town to loose their football team.. That said, the Jaguars FO and fans need to step up or they may have to face that possibility. Hopefully they will manage to do just that. Did they have any blacked out games last year ?
Move to LA and die an even slower death. The NFL is stupid for even thinking NFL Football could prosper in LA where the Dodgers and Lakers reign, there is just way too much going on in that town for anyone to stop what they are doing and go to a game especially with the traffic that town has, yuck!!
