Jaguars' ticket sales improving for final two games

[thelakelander]

Copperfield, don't remind me.  Pat White was a wasted pick.  They need safety and WR help, not a gimmick at QB.  I hope the Jags don't make the same mistake by taking Tebow too high.

Lol, you started it.  The worst would probably be Atlanta.

true!

Well, the campaign apparently worked and we'll get to see the Colts game on the NFL Network on Thursday. Now, hopefully a miracle happens and we ruin their perfect season.

I wonder if a local affiliate gets to air the game in addition to the NFL Network - Go figure, we get a home game on TV, & only about 25% of the region has access to the NFL Network........

[copperfiend]

A local station always airs it. I think CBS47 will be airing it this time.

Where did you get the 25% figure?

^The Colts and Jaguars official station simulcasts the game.  The Jaguars Official station is CBS 47.

[blizz01]

Where did you get the 25% figure?

- um, yeah - that's not scientific, but the NFL Network is only standard for Satellite subscribers & is a pay/package option for Comcast subscribers.

NFL Network is available on Comcast in their Digital Preferred package.

Well, I will be at the game, so it really doesnt matter to me if it's on tv or not. Go Jags. We NEED a miracle.

Jacksonville.com is reporting that the Jags/Colts game will not be blacked out.

Also according to this story they said Fox 30 will be broadcasting the game locally.

[copperfiend]

I will be there as well. Should be a great atmosphere. I would say to anybody that does not have a ticket, go to the festivities anyway. Make the TEALgate party a huge success.

Profootballtalk.com is reporting that the Colts will not be resting their starters this Thursday and will approach this game just like they did the thirteen games before it. This is obviously going to make it even tougher for the Jags to pull off a playoff birth.

[copperfiend]

One reason I think is the last few times the Colts had homefield they sat starters at the end of the year. Then they lost their first playoff game at home.

There was a discussion about the merits of resting players on NBC and ESPN last night....my guess is that the Colts do start resting starters but not until the last two weeks....except if they get a huge lead on Thursday
