The Cardinals stadium in Glendale seats 63k but is expanded to over 73k for Super Bowls and college games.

Fair - they do it I believe with some sort of end zone structure change. But again...that's 10,000 seats. This is nearly double that.

I'd love to see what the architects come up with but I'm curious how they accommodate adding 17k.

Feels like Hype Level 11 around the city today.

Honestly, feels like more hype than even the Bills home playoff game in 2017.

Kinda love the Saturday night game too, just because we'll have Sunday to recover.

Gonna be a wild scene at the Bank tomorrow night.

Win and in.... GO JAGS!!!
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Out and about today and it's all Jags. Seeing people wearing shirts and jackets at least 25 years old. Busting out all the gear.

RAM, Memorial Park, and Bay Street were the same way.

Everywhere you looked, people greeting each other with "Go Jags."

That sense of community and the civic enrichment that comes from having a professional sports franchise can never be captured in the formulas that the dry economist nerds use to beat the drum that pro sports are a poor investment for major cities.

Great win. Stadium was as loud as I've ever heard it (despite the offensive struggles).

As great as the game was, leaving was a disaster. We were in Tailgaters on the east side of the stadium. I'm not exaggerating when I say the cars leaving the lot didn't move for two hours. For most of that time there was not anyone from JSO directing traffic out of the lots in that area. Hopefully this can be figured out before next week's game.

Just a comment about the earlier game - Chiefs / Raiders - what were the NFL and networks thinking? There had to be more competitive match-ups, that have playoff meaning available.  We switched over to "Wheel of Fortune" at 7 PM.
