Taxslayer Bowl - extra seats $415,000 (Duval County Taxpayers)

#1

Perhaps we can rename this bowl the TaxPayer Bowl.

 

Even though there are over 10,000 seats remaining to be sold for this game, the city is required to add ~ 2,000 additional seats at a cost of $415,000 to satisfy the bowl requirements.  Jacksonville is scheduled to breakeven on this game when you factor in additional business the hotels and vendors will receive from tourism.

 

 

Right now, I can go on Stubhub and get an upper deck 50-yard line seat for $25 and trust me, prices are going to drop.
