The fans responded by increased attendance the following year.

Look at these numbers:   https://www.statista.com/statistics/2500...e-jaguars/

Despite the Jags having a losing culture since the 90's, I see a stadium that sells on average 60k seats per game.  Renovate the stadium to around 60k seats or establish a winning culture.   Khan should be working on building a winning culture here and establishing a fan base instead of shipping games to London.  2 games this year and with the new CBA it could turn into 4+ very soon. 

Khan puts on a Good Song and Dance.  Many may believe Khan is a good owner and has your best interest in mind.  I see him as a slick car salesman that only cares about the buck.  The Jags may not have a winning team but we have big screens and pools in our stadium!

If the Jags had a moderately successful history in the last 10 years or especially a history of multiple playoff years and a Superbowl or two, the stadium would easily sell out at it's current capacity. He'd even be able to raise ticket prices with only a moderate amount of grumbling. His attitude regarding attendance and Jaguars fan passion is disingenuous. I'm not convinced he started off with the intention of moving the team to London but it's obvious that's where the mindset is now. It's a shame because Jax is actually a very good football market. But any team in any city with this record of ineptitude for the past 15 years would see attendance plummet.

I think he's also underestimated the fan reaction to sending additional games to London. He doesn't realize that most Jag fans follow the Jaguars because they're the *Jacksonville* Jaguars. Lose that connection and local fans become less vested.  I could see attendance in some games dropping below 50K this year which will only make the situation worse.
