Quote: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. 

 

Whatever the surrounding area population is (Port Orange, Ormond, South Daytona, NSB), it is way smaller than Jacksonville, and a much smaller percentage would have interest in going to the game.

 

Less people, less interest... I think it would flop. 

 

The only chance it would have is the people making trips from Orlando like you said, but then again... it's preseason.  Nobody would care about that.
