Quote: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.

I moved to DB from Jax. To me his seems like an untapped market, and a great link to other markets. Further, Daytona has a TON of potential to be a growing market. Even further, if it's in August, you are going to have a decent amount of tourists here.


Daytona does a pretty good job of bringing groups in, and then getting them back out. At the beach,MIT seems every week there are groups of some sort coming in by the bus loads.


I think it is a better idea than continuing to ignore the central florida market.
