Jacksonville losing 2 home games in 2020 to London
|
Ya know, they could also take a step by making concession prices more reasonable. There is nothing like paying $35 for 2 Bono's pork sandwiches while watching your team get trounced. These people just don't get it.

I haven't seen prices released for any packages, but based on the releases yesterday, it sounds like STH will see a reduction in what they are paying, albeit for one less game. Factor in travel, parking, concessions, and other expenses cut for one of the 9 weeks you spent for each in 2019 (7, if like you said, you skipped preseason), and yes, it should be more affordable this season.

At the price of tickets, that's not sustainable over time. As much as I am for capitalism, because the NFL has a monopoly on Professional Football, the lack of viable competition leads to situations like the one Jacksonville is currently in regarding the Jaguars. It's very unsettling. Other than the Green Bay Packers, every fan of a pro sports team in the USA and Canada could potentially be dealing with the situation of their favorite team moving. If the Jaguars were getting to the playoffs around 50 % of the time and the team's financial situation didn't improve in Jacksonville, with the Jaguars playing all home games in Jax, I would be looking at the situation differently than at present. The Jaguars have had 1 good season out of the last 12 seasons. Based on this alone, there's no justification to take away another home game from Jacksonville. A fan base can only take so much. Shad Khan might have caused a breaking point situation with a large enough portion of the Jacksonville Jaguars fanbase that even winning might not be enough to reverse it.

If that were true the announcement yesterday was that we were eliminating the London games period. It's telling that he thinks the fans are as stupid and/or gullible as he does. Umm ok, going to London is about on par as going to Seattle to play a game. Except one is a road game where fans routinely whine about how bad we play out west. The other is a home game where we are supposed to have all of the advantages and instead put ourselves about on equal footing with a west coast road trip. If winning was the number one priority we would not put ourselves at that disadvantage, much less do it twice. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

We see this being the reason many teams leave their cities. Look at San Diego just recently with the Chargers and back with many, many others. Maybe the fight needs to be taken up with the city....
Let's Get Em!!!! Go Jags!

Two homes games in London is only the beginning. I think the game plan ultimately is to have the pre-season games here (at full price again, of course, local revenue ya know) and the regular season games there.

Only after they reduce the number of preseason games as part of the new CBA.

I live in Washington (all my life, I'm 32), up here in the Pacific Northwest. It's great. We actually get all 4 seasons of the year, but it does get a little wet and rainy up here. One of the few places in this country where you can be at the Beach, or the Mountains, or Desert, or huge forest areas/outdoors in just a few hours worth of a drive.

It is tortuous to attend those games anyway. If they are both in prime football weather (Late Oct - Early Dec) then I will probably not renew. Well you can just go back and look at the past London schedules and get a pretty clear idea of when the games will likely be played.. 2019 - Oct 6 - Nov 3 2018 - Oct 14 - Oct 28 2017 - Sept 24 - Oct 29 2016 - Oct 2 - Oct 30 2015 - Oct 4 - Nov 1 2014 - Sept 28 - Nov 9 2013 - Sept 29 - Oct 27 2012 - Oct 28 2011 - Oct 23 2010 - Oct 31 2009 - Oct 25 2008 - Oct 26 2007 - Oct 28 I'd put money down that the Jags will play the last 2 games in London, rather than the first 2 in London as well. Which would likely put those dates at the mid/end of October / early November. So as somebody said earlier, you'll have a couple games in miserable heat. Then they'll disappear for awhile, during prime football weather. Only to come back to Jacksonville in late November/December when they're officially out of the running and playing meaningless football.
Shad has timed this thing perfectly for a STH revolt and for the Lot J deal to fall apart.
No wonder he did that interview on his yacht - where the NO PITCHFORKS rule is strictly enforced. They should call it Lot JerkMyChain because that's what Shad's been doing for 3 years with his artist renderings. At least we got the dog park. We show less advertisements to registered users.

Ill throw this out there as a what if:
What if Kahn knows they will vote in 17 game schedule and he is just forward thinking enough to get the free extra home game in london? I dont know if the extra game will be a home or away but would assume if they make an extra game it would be home for the income.

If the league goes to 17 games, it opens up more international series. Jaguars are always going to give away home games no matter what. 2 in London will be 6 Jax Home games or 7 Jax Home games depending on the year. Make no mistake forward thinking will come at the expense of the fans. An that is true in every small market.
