On November 30, 1993, Jacksonville's NFL dream became a reality.

Do you remember where you were when you first heard the announcement?  Any special memories from the first 15 years?

I know I have some, both good ('96 playoff run) :) and bad ('99 AFC Championship Game) :'( . But I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.

I remeber it very vividly, was at a conference in San Antonio, after the meetings were over I rushed back to my hotel room to find out if we got the team.  had my season tickets on order the next weekend,

Yeah me too. Just hope they can survive in this city. I have a feeling this offseason is going to be a rough one.

I remember buying the all white hat with the teal "JAGUARS" across it like that same month. That was my 8th grade year at jeff Davis and when we came back from Christmas - New Year break in 94...everyone had the Jaguar Starter jackets....(what ever happened to Starter clothes?)

Everyone had the teal 95 Jersey that said Jaguars on the back.

Man I remember me and my brothers recording the very first game vs the Panthers in Canton Ohio, it was played on a Saturday. I still have the vcr tape!!

Remember the silver helmets? They were just like the Jacksonville Bulls helmets but had the Jaguar on it.

Oh I remember Madden 94 on the Sega Genesis there was a code to get the Jaguars and Panther on the game. Seeing the word Jacksonville on a video game was a cool feeling.

I remember the first Touchdown by Desmond Howard on a punt return!!! Dude ended up being the MVP of the 96 Superbowl.

Speaking of 96......."Do you believe in miracles?" Ha ha ha ha ha classic

Beating Buffalo, then Beating Denver, plus the Falcons missed field goal that got the Jags in.

Remember Dan Marino's & Jimmy Johnson's retirement game? WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! I think most of the starters were out by the 1st half.

Whatever happened to R.J. Souward, Kevin Hardy, Fernando Bryant, Willie Jackson, Renaldo Wynn, Aaron Beasley, James Stuart, Natron Means, Mike Hollis, Brian Barker & Tony Brackens!

Awww...the memories!

I'll never forget the Marino retirement game.  That and the Monday night game against Pittsburgh where the Jags (all black) held the Steelers to a 9 to nothing shutout.

So many great memories. Having the Jags here is such a sense of civic pride. Can't imagine not having them here.
