History shows that season ticket prices would not remain "flat" if they pull a game from our rotation.  My ticket prices remained the same last year with one fewer game as they were the year before.  So, the prices actually went up to cover the lost opportunity, as I suspect they would do again to some extent if they pulled yet another game. 

 

 

How do you know what my background is? 

 

Short answer is you have no clue. 

 

I'm sure you have all sorts of experience in expanding a small business into a multibillion dollar operation, right? 

 

 

Tap dance as you see fit.  I don't see any mention of London in this post, and the conversation we were having where you injected this bit of nonsense was specifically focused on Daytona, not London.  But, even if your point was about London, I've addressed that as well in this thread, so keep on trying, TMD Jr.  

 

Khan's methods are always focused on maximizing the bottom line.  That's why the team is playing a game in London.  Playing one in Daytona would not have the same impact, or even come close.  The team retains every penny of revenue from preseason games.  That money is not shared with the league.  So, playing games at home in the preseason gives the Jaguars more revenue opportunity than splitting the gate with the International Speedway.  I don't see Daytona offering to host a game for free.

Your gonna be really disappointed when this actually starts happening FBT, might as well adjust your mindset now. If Khan is willing to goto London to get new fans, why wouldn't he goto Daytona or even Orlando when the Orange Bowl is renovated? You say the season ticket holders will grumble and complain, but at the end of the day, many season ticket holders aren't living in J-ville, and commute from Orlando and Daytona, I know multiple guys who do.

 

So basically get over your negative attitude, and deal with driving to Daytona. If you were going to a Jags game on Sunday, you weren't gonna be doing anything else. You should be happy you got such a forward thinking owner who is actually committed to keeping the team in the area and expanding its appeal. Not whining that you might have to take your hog out for a highway drive on a beautiful August morning. Really, what else were you gonna do on Sunday in August anyhow.

 

Progress. Some people are for it. Others just want to bring back Gene, keep doing what Weaver did and watch the team move to LA.
