You’d be hard pressed to find any fan base that would stand for that. This is all about Khan’s greed and nothing more. [BLEEP] Khan.

It sucks losing another home game...it really sucks...but this attitude is [BLEEP] stupid.

I considered cancelling my season tickets because of another home game lost.  It's not about people in the stands.  It's about towing your weight as far as the other teams in the league.  I've seen it explained in numerous places but this has very little to do with Khan's "greed".  With revenue sharing, he has 31 other owners to answer to.  They are, if not all...most, currently carrying us as far as our 'equal' share of that revenue pool.  

I get it.  I don't like it at all, but I get it.

It's all about making downtown more of a 'destination'.  It's a shame that riverfront has never been developed.  It's been sitting vacant since I moved here 30 years ago.  It should be a destination.  It should have been years ago.  But it's just sitting there.  There isn't crap to do around the stadium as it stands right now.  Would you go down to the stadium area if there was no game?  Hopefully the city can get it's [BLEEP] in gear and something can be done.

What would Jacksonville be like-downtown and the metropolitan area- had that mayor agreed t let Disney build here instead of Orlando?

I didn't know what else to do with this article, but it seems to fit here.  While losing the 2nd home game-and possibly more- is a gut punch to local fans, this article seems equally foreboding.  if anything, it seems to add a sense of urgency.
