Quote:According to Mark Long of the Associated Press, the president of Daytona International Speedway wants to bring a game to the infield of the fabled race car track.


“We’ve not had a formal discussion with the Jags here, but we’ve got some great relationships,” DIS president Joie Chitwood said, while wearing a Jaguars jersey and hanging out on the practice field. “There’s always an opportunity.”


The Jaguars have acknowledged the need to become a regional team, and have considered farming out preseason games to places like Orlando or Gainesville or Daytona Beach.

I've seen this thrown around in the past and I wonder if Khan and Lamping would be willing to do something that's "out of the box".


Would you be in favor of giving up a preseason game in hopes of strengthening the Jags regional foothold?
