If I recall correctly Jags have a ridiculous lease in their stadium that will make moving to LA very difficult

Re: Jaguars Being Sold
The Jags have a MNF game coming up soon. As of this morning, I heard they have 11,500 tickets that have not sold yet - - for a MNF game when the team is 3-8. Remember, the Jags have already put a tarp over approximately 10,000 seats in the stadium just to reduce capacity so that they have a prayer of selling games out once in a while. So, in reality, the MNF game can only draw a crowd that is about 21,000 folks short of capacity.
A new owner - - one with enough money to buy this franchise - - is not going to let lease termination costs stand between him and a better market than Jax. And, it will not be hard for him to find a "better market than Jax"... The problem with moving them to LA is that it puts pressure on the NFL to do realignment and just about nobody in the league wants to go through that goat rodeo unless it is absolutely essential.

Re: Jaguars Being Sold
Jacksonville is the pits. I'm actually shocked they've lasted this long. That city can't support an NFL team, although they seemed to do well when Brunell was in his hey day. I just hope LA doesn't get another team. They had two teams and both left. That should tell you something.

Re: Jaguars Being Sold
Just read that a condition of the sale of the Jags is that the team will remain in Jacksonville.

Re: Jaguars Being Sold
LA Hollywood here they come, supposedly a stadium is being built for a new team to move to LA. I bet they end there.

Re: Jaguars Being Sold
Man, talk about a "blah" franchise... everything about them, the uniforms, the emblem, just blah. They might as well be in the Arena league.

Re: Jaguars Being Sold
They were a solid team during the Coughlin years.

Re: Jaguars Being Sold
The Jags sure could have used a player like Newton, or even Tebow. They have nobody there to get people excited and put butts in the seats.
