In other former Jaguar news, Derex Cox is now a raven. So that means after us no resigning him, he's off to his thrid team in two years. (Chargers, Viking, now Ravens). Its just odd to me. He seem to good when he was here (when he wasnt injured)., or was it that our team was so bad medicore players looked elite 

Also marks the 4th player on the Ravens that was drafted by the Jaguars.

Daryl Smith, Eugene Monroe, Will Rackley and now Derek Cox

Pipelines:  Seattle to Jacksonville, meet Jacksonville to Baltimore.

Susan from Saratoga, CA

My husband just walked into the room, and I moaned, "I keep asking him questions, but he never answers." "You mean God?" he asked. "No, Vic," I answered.

Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. Eight for everyone who asks receives.

only jack kent cooke wanted the location of the stadium to where it is now in Landover, MD.  They need to redesign RFK and bring the team back to the district.

I dont understand these teams and wasting so much money. You build a stadium, just to build another one 17 years later? Or you have the bills who are renovating their stadium, but will build another one also. WTF. I guess thats what you do when you are a billionaire and have nothing else better to do with your money.

^its simple...the teams don't build the stadiums...they just reap the benefits

Even Shad Khan had Jacksonville pay 2/3 of the cost of jumbotrons, yet he gets the benefit to sell more ads, in a clearer perspective.

On another note, I heard that Beer Sales do not stop now at the end of the 3rd qtr., they did so during the last 2 Jags games so far this year.  Apparently Khan wants more beer revenue, so beer sales now go the entire game. This must make JSO very happy, so that they have more drunks on the road and more brawls around Jax after games.

Anyone remember this oldie but a goodie article?

JAGUARS SEEK $148 MILLION IN STADIUM UPGRADES
December 4, 2008
Copyright 2008 MediaVentures

Jacksonville, Fla. - The Jaguars want the city to spend $148 million renovating Jacksonville Municipal Stadium - more than it cost to build 15 years ago.

Mayor John Peyton said it's time to start thinking about a slew of recommendations in a 2-year-old Jaguars-commissioned architectural review, which range from repaving the parking lot to replacing seating and upgrading video equipment.

"These are 30-year-life-type deals," Peyton said of the stadium. "It's an ongoing city obligation we expect to honor."

Still, he said at this point he's unsure where the money would come from. Routine maintenance, not part of the renovation proposals, is costing the city $1 million to $1.5 million annually.

The Jaguars' report comes from sports architect HOK Sport, which helped design the stadium. It has sat virtually untouched since its February 2007 publishing.

Peyton said he has had informal discussions with Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver about the stadium. He said Weaver has been reasonable about the city's budget concerns but would like to get moving on at least $100 million of the projects.

Peyton said he is certain Weaver is committed to keeping the team in Jacksonville and that attitude isn't being used as leverage to open the city's checkbook.

The stadium cost $140 million to build in the mid-1990s. A subsequent $63 million renovation added a number of amenities including new escalators and the Bud Zone. Peyton said those were inexpensive investments that reaped dividends when the city hosted Super Bowl XXXIX. The Jaguars have made more than $20 million in lease payments since the team's inception, according to city records. That money goes into a fund that helps pay stadium debt.

Keeping the stadium competitive is important as advancements in technology have made it more and more appealing to watch games on high-definition TV at home, said Bill Prescott, the team's financial manager. Nearly two-thirds of the Jaguars' local revenues come from ticket sales.

Pretty sure the alcohol sales is an NFL rule.  If it is changing for Jags, it is changing league wide.

I'm pretty sure that the 3rd Qtr stoppage of alcohol sales only affects those in general seating.   Club seats, terrace seats and now the new cabana seats don't fall under that rule.

I guess they don't want Joe 6-pack driving home wasted after the game, but Mr. Johnny Walker Blue can do what he wants because he's, you know, 'responsible' because he can afford $265/seat/game....

False.

The NFL does not set alcohol policy, though they do issue a "Best Fan Conduct Practices Policy" that I believe is what the Jaguars model their rules off of. For the NFL to control it, with every locality having different rules and regulations about alcohol it would be an overhead nightmare that would bankrupt the NFL.

Nowhere on the stadium grounds may you purchase alcohol once the fourth quarter has begun. The start time of the game determines when the sales stop, either at the beginning of the 3rd quarter (start after 7pm??) or the end of the 3rd quarter (for games with a kickoff before 7pm??).

And also, not that you in particular care about facts, but Khan makes no profit off of longer beer sales. Each concession is leased at an agreed rate regardless of how much it will pull in. The operator of the concession (Ovations, and others I can't think of right now) then coordinates with nonprofit agencies to staff the event. The profits from sales are then split between the operator and the nonprofit staffing. So every time you purchase a beer and hot dog, ask them who you are supporting that day because that money going towards a fundraiser of some sort.

I guess I really can't fault mtrain for not realizing the full benefit that having an NFL team provides to the community, most people don't. It is much more than just making one owner and 53 players rich.

And now moving any talk of him to the "Other NFL" thread ...

Does anyone else grin a little when they see/hear how badly MJD is doing? I loved him when he was here, he was a beast. But I think we got his best years, and though I don't wish him any bad luck with the Raiders, I do feel like he got his just desserts after his whining last season and bad mouthing the Jaguars once he left.
