Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
That's a joke. Everyone knows they're going to LA!
Sarcasm; I'm a Jags fan. First a great draft and now this. Pretty good week to be a Jags fan. Just need to start winning. |
Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
Now everyone can see how bad they are in HD

Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
I'm headed to this stadium for the US-Nigeria soccer game in June. Hopefully they will zoom in on Landon Donovan's girlfriend.

Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
Jags stadium is in a dumpy part of the city away from downtown.
|
Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
Now their fans have something to be proud about.

Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
Don't they have an Outback Steakhouse in their stadium?
|
Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
That look awesome for the WLOCP

Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
Is it like rent to own?
|
Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
They should just install it over the tarp-covered seats.

Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
I thought I was looking at the USC-Upstate softball stadium for a moment there.

You guys have not been paying attention. This team is not going anywhere:
1. The owner has spent somewhere around 30 million in stadium improvements and is purchasing property around the stadium for commercial development. There are also plans to add a retractable roof. You don't invest that kind of money to walk away. The owner is committed to the city. The London games actually ensure that they stay. They make a killing with the 1 game there for the next few years, about 15% of total revenue from one game. 2. Attendance is better than most think. Jags finished 20th in the NFL in 2013 with a 2-14 team, and 28th last year with a 4-12 team. Attendance better than Pittsburgh, Tampa, St Louis, Oak. 3. The reason for the tarps is that he stadium is to large. Our capacity is about 67,000 with the tarps on. About 72,000 with them off. That is in the top 15 in the league with them on. Larger than Bears, Colts, Lions, Vikings,ect. The tarps are being removed. 4. Our team has been bad for several years, but we have a new owner, GM, and coach. We are coming. For all of our bad years, the Panthers and the Jags have exactly the same historical record. 144-160-0. 5. And it is the World's largest video board, not just the NFL. BTW the new board will not be ready until July. Not in time for the Nigeria game. Construction started 2 weeks after the season ended. |

But, you can also argue he's building the team for bigger and better things, possibly at another location in the near future. I'm not saying it is going to happen, but at this point, they are the favorites of all NFL teams to move to London if indeed it happens. The investment he's making with the stadium and it's surroundings is interesting, but owning a team in London would be a whole new ball game financially for any owner. A team in London could easily become the richest in the league within a few years. It will be interesting to see what happens. I don't wish any city losing their NFL team, especially Jacksonville.

Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
I agree, I went to the London game last year. Their fans love the NFL but not any team in particular. The Jaguars merchandise sales alone would be huge. They already have a Jaguars fan club there. The logistics of putting a team in London permanently would be difficult

Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
Old news and the scoreboard will be half adds anyway.
|
Re: Jaguars New NFL Largest Videoboard
Thats so people will come to the stadium during Jax games and watch the other REAL NFL games.
