My dad took me to my first game as a child in 1998. He’s a penny pinching fool but I’m glad he did. Best memory I have and started a life long passion of watching the sport and this team. Glad we didn’t eat cheap food and sit on a couch
Be quiet Cry-Baby and until you become a season ticket holder on a regular basis like me then I don't want to hear from you about my City.

It probably has more to do with the Jag fans finding it difficult to take the tacks very seriously. The team will though.
there is a reason the jags are called the tarpkitties
bring em out bring em out!

I love all the folks who live out of town and don't by season tickets passing judgement on those of us who do. Fact is the Jags sold more season tickets this off season than any other NFL team, after having a single winning season in over a decade. I think the fan support here is just fine and only getting better.

This is a relevant take.
A few points I’d like to make though.
1. The 40-50 thousand die hards that have stuck by their team from day one deserve better than that insulting first sentence.
2. If this fan base doesn’t get near capacity for every home game this season it will be very disappointing, but...
3. 70 thousand seats is a big number for one of the smaller markets in the NFL. A turnout of ~64,000 or so against a lackluster opponent isn’t exactly a disgrace for the city of Jacksonville.
We need a new, smaller stadium. A covered one, preferably.
Someone make this happen. Chop chop.

It was showing 97 degrees on the field at kickoff, even with the clouds starting to roll in. They didn't really build up until after the game had started, and even with the clouds, the temperatures remained in the mid to high 80's for almost the entire game. Short periods of sprinkles is being generous. It sprinkled once, for about 5 minutes.
Hmmmmm, just because it's 97 degrees on the field doesn't mean its 97 degrees on the nosebleeds. Wasn't that hot as a spectator as previous games like the Sept games against the Packers and Raiders of previous years where people are dropping like flies. If you thought this past Sunday game conditions are hot for a spectator, you are soft as cotton.
The number of heat related medical issues in the stadium was to the point where JFRD and stadium staff were overwhelmed. I'm sure your nosebleeds on the couch were quite comfortable.
As far as being "soft as cotton", I haven't missed a home game in years. The heat doesn't bother me one bit. That doesn't diminish the fact that it was extremely hot. Most actual fans who attended the game were at the stadium hours in advance because they were being told to get there early. These people had been xposed to the heat for hours before the game leading up to kickoff. I know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, so I won't bother going any further with this.

If I was on my couch, then how do I know that the FSU band played at halftime and I have those scroll signs that they gave out at the entrance. You are clueless. See you baldhead Mr clean wanna be bad boy look at the Titans game.

Come on now jag fans. No fighting amongst yourselves. Save that for the other team.
