No more Sweet Home Alabama at Everbank Field

[Non-RedNeck Westsider]

Then again, with our, now, London ties, I think I have a song that the fans could get behind to amp everyone up....

But I think Coredumped's choice is fine, too.

why get rid of something that has been played for years?  Caroline Panthers play "Sweet Carolina" when the game is in doubt and the home team is going to win.  Sure, they don't get to play it often, but I see the similarities.

Maybe they should play something by Yellowcard or Limp Bizkit or Red Jumpsuit Apparatus instead.  A song that is from a local band that actually references Jacksonville.

Why not have Rick Ross sing Box Chevy?

LOL. Go for it. Bet it would hype up the D on a 3rd & short.

Yes it would! I hope for the best this year with the Jaguars.

I'm all for them pulling that song. It's a good song, I remember hearing it all of my life. However over the past several years, it's come to remind me of the side of Jacksonville that I hate. Kudos to Kahn! Now if he can just start getting to work on making Jacksonville a little bit more urban, like Chicago.

It won't matter if they win a few more games and move off the bottom rating.

I thought it was just a song.

This is getting just plain silly.  No one is going to stop going to the games if they don't play certain songs or don't have flyovers (although I do love flyovers.)  What is fun about going is the game day atmosphere.  You can watch on TV but it's not the same as being in the stadium on game day.

+100

Agreed. Ive been reading this thread scratching my head for two days now.

^^^Yup, the word 'overreaction' is an understatement. Debbie hit the nail on the head.

Don't get too riled up.  It's just MTroll making his rounds.  He'll get pissy and leave again.  :-)

Couldn't have said it better myself.  Seems that's all he does on any thread these days.

very true, unless you have redzone and a fridge full of beer.

After being in person for that turd last night, I'll stay home. Khan can take the team to London for all I care, and keep them there.

Given the self loathing disorder of this city, and the fact that Southern Rock is pretty much Jville's claim to musical history within the past fifty years, you knew that would happen with a certain sect of the people.

With or without the song, silly new announcer or the Daily's Convenience Market's inside the stadium (WTF?) We are still known as Florida's Murder Capital and we still have our fair share of rednecks.

Stay home then. It was a PRESEASON game. Ah, but why both arguing with a troll? 

I'm a season ticket holder and enjoy the stadium experience win or lose...obviously winning games are much more fun for the walk home, but I'm in the NEZ and surrounded by a large group of friends and it's always a fun experience.

I was all for the pulling of Sweet Home Alabama. I follow Dj Chill Will on Twitter and he hears how many people are just sick of that song. A lot of fans have been trying to get that one stopped for a long time. I don't hate the band, but that song being played has always seemed silly to me..and I personally can't stand it. (But that's just me)

Anyway, I went to the games for years knowing I'd hear it.. if you stop going to the games because of one song..well, that's just stupid. =)

Ah, but name calling is so much more mature? Love dealing with the millennials, I weap for the future!
