Quote:The Chargers might know a thing or two about not being able to sell tickets, oddly you never really hear a peep about it nationally.  

Good point. The NFL has a league wide problem of getting fans to the stadium. Tickets are being sold and fans still are leaving seats empty. This is not just a Jax issue. San Diego, St Louis , Tampa, Oakland, Miami, Buffalo,NY Jets and Washington all are drawing less than 93.4 % of capacity, and that is tickets sold, a good percentage are not even showing up as clubs attempt to buy out enough tickets to avoid blackouts. Watch a Dolphins game last year? Crowds were so sparse it looked like about 25K fans there. This year Miami has faired better with success but still looks like a sea of orange plastic seats quite often.

 

Another reason to applaud Khan, he recognizes this issue and is putting his money where his mouth is to fix it instead of living in denial and blaming the fans like certain members of the NFL hierarchy. Interesting how the NFL head shed wants a team in LA when 2 out of 3 Cali teams are struggling to support there teams. This proves to me their attendance alibi is a sham. They want TV ratings and merchandise sales which we will give them if they allow our young franchise to grow up and establish a Pittsburgh or Green Bay type following. Combined with Khan's aggressive marketing and international vision this will be accomplished.
