Quote:I disagree.  There is little chance a Daytona game would sell more tickets.  I'd say 50,000 maximum would show up.

 

It would not be like the Daytona 500 when Nascar fans come from all over.  A preseason Jaguars game would depend mostly on the surrounding area to buy tickets, and there just isn't enough people here.

 

 

If you are just talking Daytona, there's about 62k residents.  Toss in Ormond Beach and New Smyrna and you're looking at about 125k.  I doubt you'd see a mass migration from Orlando, but some folks would travel over.  Still, the majority would be there to see the stadium itself and not the game. 

 

50-55k at EverBank would provide a more robust bottom line for the Jaguars than playing in Daytona and splitting the gate.
