You know what I think is amazing (especially about the home fan-base) during that stretch of... oh 5 really bad years (Mularkey + Gus) A lot of people still showed up. There were easily 40k (probably more if max capacity is 65k) at every game, 40kish people that said... crappy team or not, we're showing up... we're watching....

I don't know all the actual numbers of attended VS tickets sold/distributed....

But this team won like 10 games total across 5 terrible seasons... and there was still a strong foundation of fans that wouldn't give up... still spent hard earned money.
Kudos to them.... admittedly, if I lived in J-Ville and was a season ticket holder... I would have likely relegated myself to a game or two a season until the improvements showed.

One fer the true hardcore Jag fans that sat through Cleveland Brown levels of ineptitude for more years than anyone should have to.
