5 Wide Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Lame, but it counts. Which is why they'll be moving eventually. 790087[/snapback] Yea I saw that too and kept thinking...are they remodeling part of the stadium?? What happened down there...I found this on Wikpedia Alltel Stadium is a football stadium located in downtown Jacksonville, Florida next to the St. Johns River. It is the home stadium facility of the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL franchise. The stadium sits on 10 acres (40,000 m²) of land and originally had a capacity of 73,000. Expansions over the next decade brought capacity to 76,877. However, because of sluggish sales, more than 9,000 seats were covered with tarps beginning with the 2005 season. The current capacity is 67,164. What happened to that fan base?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrite Gal Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 The NFL has gotten everyone of import to the black-out judgment to realize that they get far more financial value from the free three hour plus doage of advertising than they get from a butt sitting in the seats buying beers. They keep the blackout rule in place because it is very helpful in keeping a sense of scarcity on the tickets and add value to season ticket buyers (who have made a substantial purchase so that the real money they put in the teams hands well before the product is produced or consumed) and who have a real financial reality which competes with the 100s of thousands of potential buyers of NFL items when they watch the game on TV and get advertised to. Though the market does like to pretend that there are only two choices for any problem (like those who use news to sell commercials at CNN and Fox) there is profit in actually doing everything you can really do to make money. TV provides more money than tickets, but the NFL is working to maximizte the profit they make from both even though they are different things. When one hears that only single tickets are available, this is not true as virtually anything is available in our society if you are willing to pay enough money for it. However, what it does mean is that for financial purposes they have sold every ticket they can sell though regular activity and niow full attention turns to making sure they get the free advertising of the product by the game being broadcast locally.
