That place is awesome. We just did Rockville last month over there. Plenty of room to make it work. They had four or five stages set up, vendors, tents, etc. It was fun walking across the actual race track to get inside the festival.

It's great for racing, concerts, fairs, etc but not for NFL. Locker rooms, showers, etc are an issue.

Get some ads on those green spaces and anywhere you can and the blimp shots would be unique.

Ad space on grass that only a blimp can see is almost worthless. All the video boards and ribbons that aren't there will lose money for the Jags.


Daytona is a good option only because of distance. I don't see most people traveling that far to begin with for every game. Specially if it is a 4pm game or night game. Then you have people needing rides or a hotel or there will be a ton of DUIs.

UNF should work with the Jags and city to see what can be done.

The people won't vote on it unless a new tax is needed. The city council or whatever it they are called will vote on it. They are supposed to vote how the people in their district want them too, although we know that doesn't always happen. So if most of the people are against it and very vocal, then they may not vote for it. There have been a few holdouts for lot j that have killed things in the past.
