No offense whatsoever to the Giants, but that can't be compared to the NBA. At all. The Giants are very competent and professionally run, but they play in a bush league where teams routinely just miss games or even drop out of the league entirely in the middle of the season. No matter how well you do, or how much you promote, you are never going to fill a venue as large as the Arena with that level of play.

Again, that's not to knock the Giants, just to put it in perspective. The Giants say they had an average attendance of around 2000 a game, and frankly that's a significant accomplishment for minor league basketball. But regardless of how well or poorly they do, it shouldn't be taken as a sign of how well supported an NBA team would be.

Absolutely. I'd much rather attend an NBA game between two teams that I don't care about than watch an ABA game (even if it's the hometown team) with one team up by 70 points and nobody playing defense. It's mildly entertaining, don't get me wrong, but the NBA is a much bigger draw and a completely different appeal altogether.

One huge reason Jacksonville could never support an NBA team is the cost of attending a game. NBA games are really expensive and we lack the corporate sponsors in this town.

Yeah. NBA franchises survive on corporate boxes much more than the NFL. The Jags could survive with strong fan attendance even if the luxury boxes and premium seats aren't sold out. But in the NBA you're not gonna get ~20,000 people to attend 41 games during the year. So the corp. suites tide them over during the mid-weak, lackluster matchups. We don't have that capability in Jacksonville and will not for a long long time.

The only legitimate future of basketball here revolves around JU's efforts to bring the NCAA tourney back(possibly as a higher round)... which is a great thing for our city b/c it brings thousands of people to the city and fills hotels/restaurants/retail shops.

This discussion is ludricrous at best.

Yep, but it's Mayor Brown's fault for suggesting it.  :P Him and Ron Sholes. And you're dead on about the NCAA tourney, hopefully we've taken the right steps to host a regional final one of these days.

Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Nicely written; I wonder what Mayor Brown may actually have up his sleeve:

QuoteThe Jacksonville Jaguars are pulling out all the stops to sell season tickets to Everbank Field. In 2009, the Jaguars only sold out one home game, which happened to be the final home game of the season. It was a Thursday Night prime time game against the Indianapolis Colts and also the game in which the Jaguars began their "Revive the Pride" campaign.
In 2010, Touchdown Jacksonville! continued the campaign in accordance with My Team Teal, an initiative spearheaded by Tony Boselli who was the first ever draft pick of the Jaguars and sole member of the Pride of the Jaguars.
The efforts of My Team Teal and Touchdown Jacksonville! sent a positive message that the city of Jacksonville is a viable market place for an NFL franchise. Tony Boselli knows that last year is the past and the team must improve even more moving forward.
I went to a My Team Teal Captain's meeting this evening. Also in attendance were Tony Boselli, Mackey Weaver, VP of Sales and Marketing, Bill Prescott, VP of Stadium Operations/CFO and scores of Team Teal Captains. It was an open forum for ideas, an update on current and prospective sales as well as insight to future events.
Last season, the Jaguars sold 37,000 season tickets and managed to avoid blacking out any games at a time when much of the league was struggling. Right now, the Jaguars have sold about 33,000 season tickets according to Mackey Weaver and are in "the middle of the pack compared to the rest of the league."
That is less than last year's sales total, and Tony Boselli understands that rumors of relocation will grow if the team's ticket efforts go backwards. "No one's gonna feel sorry for us," said Boselli to the crowd.
He did say that they "may not sell out every game, but will make sure there are no blackouts."
Macky Weaver and Tony Boselli do expect an explosion of sales after the new Collective Bargaining Agreement is reached. Macky Weaver expects to have about 8,000-9,000 group sales per game, level with last season and for 3,500-4,500 more season ticket renewals. Many, many ticket holders from last year have told Jaguars ticketing agents they will renew just as soon as the lockout ends. On that front Boselli said, "We need you now more than ever."
The addition of season ticket renewals and expected group sales will bring the general bowl ticket total to about 44,500-46,500 non-premium tickets sold per game which is in fact better than last year's total.
It takes nearly 51,000 non-premium seats sold to lift a blackout for one Jaguars game. In addition to the group sales and renewals the Team Teal Commissioner would like to see 5,000 new season tickets sold. He is not really sure if that will happen, but said the group will do what it has to do in order to put blackouts even further behind the city of Jacksonville. The final tickets will be sold on a single game basis.
Macky Weaver also expects the East Club section to be visibly more full than last season. At times, TV cameras fixated on this part of the stadium in 2010, giving the appearance of a stadium that was more empty than it actually was.
Members of Jaguars brass have also recently met with Alvin Brown, the new mayor of Jacksonville. Brown is very much behind the Jaguars and may be willing to commit to the team even more than John Peyton did, which is saying a lot because the Peyton family are great supporters of the franchise.[/b]
Bill Prescott and Macky Weaver both stated that July 21-22 are the dates in which the lockout is expected to end. That will give the team one week to prepare for training camp. Make no mistake, it will be a very important week for the franchise. They will have to sell a lot of tickets, sign a couple key free agents and work on getting rookie draft picks and the rest of the team up to speed.
"None of us want to go backwards," Boselli said. Thankfully, this Jaguar is deeply committed.

I'd like to meet everyone too!  I'm in 225 but only have made two games a year because I live in Va.  This year I hope to make three.

I just checked the tickets sales for the clubs seat, and they look pretty decent (IMO anyways). Once the lockout ends, hopefully the general bowl will start to go quickly. (which I expect). Me personally, I also haulted from buying season tickets because of the lockout. Once I seen progress with the lock out, I purchased some about two weeks ago. I am sure there are others who were also waited.
