Had so much fun last night at the Jacksonville Giants game!

For the price of a movie ticket, we saw a great game.

Btw, they are doing great.  4-0, I believe.

I was there too....of course I actually like seeing a bit of defense, and the ABA sure doesn't have it.

I knew they were going to be hot. I actually went to school with Antonio Lawrence so I know what caliber of a player he is. And I am familiar with some of the others. We really need to back this team because they are going to be kicking ass. I hate basketball, but for the sake of support and doing something different Im going to make it to a game one day. Im a football man myself.

How was the turnout on Sunday?

I wanted to go, but I was just exhausted after the Jags game.

I think they'll probably start doing some bigger crowds once football season ends.

I've caught every game on the CW, and really enjoy watching these guys play. Will likely buy season tickets right after the holidays.

I hope the Giants are successful here in Jax, as basketball is one thing that is sorely missing here.

Awesome.

I believe 3,000 is break-even for the franchise.

Not bad for a new team on Jags gameday.

I may go to a game or two now that football is coming to an end.

I appreciated their Television commercial promising to be part of the community if we will please support them.
Even if concocted from the mind of some publicist, it came across honest and telling us they are taking a chance.
I guess the Arena is saving quite a bit of money by not having to keep the ice rink frozen all winter..if you ever attended a concert where the floor was covered but still frozen you know how good that felt!
Oops..I'm assuming the last hockey team quietly left town..I haven't heard any NHL or lower league talk in a while.
Hey..even if you aren't a basketball fan, It's better than "Arena" Powderpuff Football. ::)

It's unbelievable that no one mentioned that the Giants won the whole shebang. The Giants beat the South Carolina Warriors 100 to 91, Congrats Giants! Jax has been having great success with it's minor league franchises as of late.

What are the chances of the Giants ever becoming an NBA team?

0% in the foreseeable future. Not even a glimmer in the NBA's eye.
