Catholic Guilt Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 How many sections of their stadium are tarped off? I was amazed at the number of empty seats during a long angle shot. Any Bills fans at the game care to comment?
Lurker Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Looked like a preseason game. These were more people on boats in the intercoastal than between the 30-yard lines...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 A few losing seasons and they're gone. Jax fans are all fair weather fans.
gobillsinytown Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 What amazes me is that there's almost no talk at all about the Jaguars moving. It seems to me that somebody's got to be taking notice of the lack of interest in the team from the population there. I'm sure the owner is.
nmas3 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 You know I thought the same thing, at least we fill the stadium!
Dr. Fong Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I had a feeling they'd struggle from day one. Just a weird transient area.
lets_go_bills Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Theirs should be the first team to be relocated. They can't fill it and actually TARP off seats. That is insane! So ridiculous. LA, say hello to your new team.
NavyBillsFan Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Ive been to many games in Jax. Most of the time, the vistor crowd is louder. Most are converted Miami fans or Miami fans just watching a game. Its a very sad situation down there. They try very hard to get people in but its a loss anymore for them. They should never of put a team in there.
lets_go_bills Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 They already have the Fish and the Buc around there. I really think they should put em in LA. Toronto shouldn't get any teams.
BillsWatch Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Stadium is over large to accommodate college games. I saw nothing taped off other than usually taped off for NFL games although there were a lot of empty seats especially in 2nd half.
gregkash Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I was at the game, there were really only two areas tarped off and as far as I know they've always been like that, they're big advertisements. Paid, so I don't have a problem with it. The turn out was good, close to sold out but not quite. It was SO HOT though, like incredibly amazingly HOT. I've never sweat so much in my life. The Bills fans were LOUD. When Jax had those two final drives our Defense *clap clap* cheers could be Heard. I don't know if it got in their head, but still.
BRH Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Those sections haven't always been tarped off. They started doing it a few years ago if I recall right. It was the home opener and they still came close to being blacked out. This is a perennial AFC playoff team. And yet people say WE should move.
bflo83 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Jacksonville Stadium: 73,000 capacity The Ralph: 74,000+ If we tarped off seats we deserve to lose the franchise. How does Florida have three NFL teams????
