No

That is the visitor's side starting just left of the club seat and stretching toward the endzone 

I looked at the whole thing, I don't see anything that's not normal about it compared to what we've seen over the past four years  

Please feel free to post something that shows otherwise

Why? Does ticketmaster have teal in their logo or branding?

Thats not the visitors side. Thats the home side

The biggest reason its there is as many tickets left is because we are playing the Colts. The look at the Giants game and some of the games out of the division and there have already been way more tickets sold

I think this has a lot to do with it in addition to the decade of incompetence.

I’ll be at the game but I also have 2 tickets for sale in section 410. I’ll give a very reasonable price to a fellow Jags fan. They are aisle seats (1&2).

Pitiful for city of almost a million.
The 40-45k base is shrinking. Lots of long time fans have given up as it's not worth it anymore. It's hot and the team sucks normally. People may come back if they finally start looking competitive but people have had enough with promises. It's now show me it before I pay instead of I trust it has to get better.

This too applies.  Read the sig, I am 59 and the youngest person in my former tailgate crew.  As such I am the only one still working full time.  Everyone else is retired and on a fixed income.  The early season games are brutally hot, then there is the constant losing year after year.  1.  We did our time carrying the load for the decade of suck, you generationally Jag fans need to step up.  2.  The cost of a single game has gone from must be there, to how can we afford this.

Another reason is because some of those original ticket holders are almost 30 years older now and might not get around as good as they once could.

Winning solves everything. The team has been losers for years now. 5-30 our last 35 games. The good news is 3 of those wins were against the Colts.

Empty Seats Huh! 

What most people doesn't realize is that the capacity attendance includes Club Seating (indoor sports bar atmosphere), Cabana Seating etc. How about we concentrate on the overall attendance to which has been an Consistent 60,000 - 65,000 fans in attendance for the past several years regardless of the play on the field. Will the empty seats be filled.

You have to remember the youngest original ST holders are in their 50s now. The older ones, like my dad, are in their 70s and above and have health/medical issues, are on a fixed income and can no longer afford them, or they might be dead. 

The kids of these folks (like myself) may not even live in the state anymore. I'm not buying ST to games I can't attend.

I second this.

Unfortunately, the worst atmosphere game came the following week.

When they put shade in the seats I think that will help. Also, disposable income has diminished for a lot people. No one wants to spend stadium priced money in the heat just to watch the Jaguars lay an egg again. Win and that all changes…

It was based on ticket sales -- did you even look at the seat map showing what tickets were still available?  Those blue bubbles represent tickets that were never purchased.

the amount of fans there doesn't matter. The jags fans who are there need to show some passion,and fire like this. 


https://www.duvalpride.com/showthread.php?tid=37336


if its just a few fans  more ntense fire for the team. the louder fans need to be for the team.   its that simple.

rather few jags fans,or lots of jags fans there each,and everyweek  they need to show that fire ,and passion.

I agree with you and the guy that posted basically the same thing above.

This is the first season I am not a ticket-holder. In my particular case, there are two particular reasons. Number 1, the weather. Until they get shade in the stadium, there are at least 3-4 games that are very hot. Those in attendance today may get a break as the temperature will remain in the 80's. However, there is about a 50% chance of thunderstorms meaning today could be a miserable game-day experience with 40-50,000 fans having to take cover away from lightening. Not my idea of a great time. Your point about the past decade "of suck" is right on target. As a long-time fan, I did not want the city to lose this team. Many of the home games this past decade have been painful to watch, however I felt the need to actively support the team by attending. Although health is not my reason for passing this season, I feel the young people need to step up. Of course, many cannot afford the high price of tickets and food. Hopefully the ones who can afford it will attend. I believe this season will be the start of a Jaguars resurgence under the leadership of Pederson. Those who attend will see mostly entertaining and close games. In my case, however, I'd rather watch at home with friends.
