Quote:So I guess we can just look forward to losing our highest profile NFC home opponent each year. 2015 will be Atlanta I guess. 2016 we are hosting Green Bay and Minnesota. Gee, I wonder which game will be in London.


 

 

This was something that was predicted the moment Shad Khan raced to fill the void left by St. Louis backing out of the London agreement. 

 

The Jaguars season ticket holders will lose the highest profile game in each of the next 4 years.  That is true this year with San Francisco coming off a Super Bowl appearance.  Dallas is one of those teams that draws great crowds anywhere they play.  So, I figured it would be that game or Pittsburgh we'd lose.

 

The London games were sold to fans as a way to build the Jaguar fan base.  I literally just hung up the phone with a guy in London.  He's excited to see the 49'ers, and went to the game last year because he's a big Brady fan.  This isn't about building a Jaguar fan base.  It's about expanding the NFL brand.  They won't send Jacksonville over there vs. a less popular opponent because the fans won't show up, so you can rest assured that we'll see the top matchups in 2015 and 2016 going to London as well.

The NFL didn't pick the team.  We volunteered.
