| | I personally think that 2000 or less remaining Non-premium seats by Friday at 9:00 pm would be a fair rule to lift a black-out. What sucks is seeing the stadium full on a Blacked-out Sunday, knowing that all the other fans and "possible" fans are missing out. This seems to be the theme with the Blackouts we have had. Some People in this city just buy the day of the event and the NFL already shows a little flexability with extensions. Who would lobby this rule change? Owners or Commercial Sponsors? I know some will just say, buy season tickets. And I agree.

I am offically a Mike Walker fan. I received my bandwagon tickets after the Houston game. Sorry to everyone I debated with about Walker. He is the real deal. |

| If we have any blackouts this year, even with the economy the way it is, with this team, would just be ridiculous...

| The only game that I see as a defenite blackout is the Texans game. The Jags play the NFC Central, and Jacksonville has a lot of transplants from that area of the country...Maybe the Tennesee game aslo.. maybe..

| If we blackout against the Titans, with them coming off a playoff year in addition to being a division rival and having all the hype around VY, that would be plain sad.

| | It's an interesting question, so I will try to refrain from flaming it too much. Instead, I will ask you this. Do you have tickets? If you do, it really should be a non-issue. In reality, blackouts will only do 2 things. 1. Keep those in the local viewing area who couldn't/wouldn't go to the game from seeing it on tv. 2. Give the national hacks something to take jabs at Jacksonville about, but they'll always find something anyway. But back to my main point, if you have your tickets and are already at the games, why would you care if someone who chose not to go can see it anyway?

I know that some choose not to go for whatever reason, but most simply can't, or just aren't into attending games in person even though they may be big fans. The couple of games last year that were blacked out were great games... A couple of Fred's huge runs were in those games... Every Jaguars fan should have been able to see that... There should be more than enough fans that are willing / capable / want to buy enough tix to sell the place out, thus avoiding blackouts, without having to chastise those that can't afford / don't want to attend... I know way too many huge Jaguars fans with families / obligations / simply can't afford to go to the games to not want any and all Jags fans to see the games without having to be there... My point in case, last year I bought a third ticket, just to 'support' the team, and most of the time, it was a struggle trying to find someone to use the third ticket... I know, I know: You didn't call me! Whatever, at the time, it was hard to find one of my friends that were available... Not everyone can make it, even with a free ticket...

Trust me, I wasn't chastising anyone. Just questioning why the rules should be different. Most teams would never even entertain this discussion. Jacksonville has a team that should not EVER, EVER, EVER be associated with blackouts. But they do. I am just of the opinion that if Jacksonville want's to ensure the long term viability of the Jaguars in this city, it is then time to put on the big boy pants and do it ourselves. Us, the people of this town. That continues to be my wish.
