even the locals cant sell out a pre-season game.  you think Daytona or Orlando would have people flocking to the gates?

Way back in the 1980's the Buc's would hold a preseason game here in Jax at the Gator Bowl.  I am not sure about attendance figures but I was there and back then I was 100% a Dolphin fan.  True a lot of things have changed since then but to attend an NFL game used to mean something.  No clue what the mind set is today though.
In the 80s, fans weren't attending Bucs regular season or preseason games in the old sombrero.  It wasn't unusual to have less than 20k attending home games during the regular season.  I know.  I had a friend whose dad had season tickets he'd give us to go.  Talk about empty.  They were bound to get more gate revenue in a town trying to land a team than in their own stadium.  Things have changed in a big way since then around the league, but the Bucs still have attendance issues.  Still, they're not playing games anywhere else for the same reasons the Jags won't.  Money
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
