TSHARE18 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Jags haven't had attendance issues the last few years... because they have tarped off tons of seats in their upper decks. Fill those seats on a regular basis, and then you can say that the Jags don't have attendance issues.As for the Browns, I'm a lifetime fan. I'm scared to death about how Nike is going to destroy a classic uniform. Almost anything Nike touches when they redesign uniforms turn out to be a disaster.Cleveland was 20th in attendance last season. Jacksonville was 21. Let's get back to unis though.

I'm scared to death about how Nike is going to destroy a classic uniform. Almost anything Nike touches when they redesign uniforms turn out to be a disaster.They had to tarp off those seats. The only reason they need them in the first place was for the Georgia/Florida game. Without the tarps its around a 75,000 seat stadium. Which would mean without the tarps, to fill the stadium, they would be a top 10 team in terms of attendance. That just isn't doable in one of the NFL's smallest markets (2nd smallest I believe). The first owner wanted a smaller stadium (the size it was with the tarps) because they are in a smaller market. But when you look at their attendance the last few years, they are mid to high 20s in terms of home average attendance except for 2013: 2010 - 24th, 2011 - 25th, 2012 - 20th, 2013 - 28th, 2014 - 21st. So when you consider they are the 2nd smallest NFL market, their attendance is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksonville is an easy target but I think most teams put in that situation would have had the same problem.It all just feels like they are sending a marketing message somewhere between douchey/tacky to minor league and adds to the perception that the rest of the country does not see Jax as a legitimate major league market.The pool area was just a creative way to remove some of the tarps; as it took out 9,500 seats. It removed 6 tarped sections. There are only 2 left and they are working towards removing those as well.Jacksonville isn't the first pro team to add a swimming pool and I don't think they'll be the last. I'd say it's more about the grandiose vision of the owner. I mean, this is the practice facility he is wanting to build. My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done.

j'villejags Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 What in the name of MC Escher is going on there? Is that an elevated field above another practice field?Yep. It looks more like tennis courts on a cruise ship or something at first glance. Then you realize those are huge football fields on the waterfront. It's not the most practical design but it looks cool. My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done. AZ updated 04/21/23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the uniforms are fantastic, hopefully they cheer. But there better not be a PC reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
