The last few years it has let up but even then there have been moments.  The Miami game a couple years ago was a pretty good atmosphere.  Even the opener against Green Bay last year was decent. But years of losing will impact any team's home crowd so it's not now like it was even during Bradley's initial year or so.  Part of it is that actual game day attendance has declined, part of it has to do with the overall excitement in the stadium.  I sense that home field advantage will come back in a hurry when the Jags prove they're genuine contenders again.

I personally didn't get season tickets until 1998.  I held onto them until around the 2012 season and the only reason I gave them up was because my job had me traveling so much I wasn't able to use them.  At that point the team was so bad that I couldn't even give the tickets away.  Between then and prior to this season I would go to games occasionally when I was in town.

This season I opted to go ahead and pick up a couple of tickets again.

The atmosphere is definitely not the same as it was in the late '90's and early 2000's.  It has picked up some, but nothing like it used to be.
