Hey all!

I grew up as a kid never living in Florida, but in 1995 became a fan of the Jaguars just based off the logo. For some reason, I stuck with them and have been a die-hard ever since. I've only driven through Jacksonville once, but didn't stop to see the city. My wife has surprised me with a trip planned to Jacksonville on the weekend of October 23, not only just for us to visit Jacksonville for the first time, but to go to my first Jaguars home game as well against the Giants! I've been to a handful of our away games in other cities.

She has booked us with lodging (southwest side of downtown) so far but that's it. So basically, I would really appreciate any type of recommendations you guys can give on various aspects. We haven't purchased stadium tickets yet so things like where to sit, where to park, etc. And then in general, places you recommend visiting/things to do, best beaches, food recommendations, areas to avoid, things not to do, etc.

In other words, anything and everything! I'm really excited and would appreciate any helpful advice!

(Mods, please feel free to move this to a better forum if need be. It covered Jaguars and just visiting stuff so wasn't sure where to put it, thanks.)
