Wow, the Jaguars have surprised me. I stand corrected!

Novelty for the locals and out of towners on a Diseny vacation.  Also it is close enough for season ticket holders to make a weekend trip out of it.  Should add up to more ticket sales than the average game last season and most likely a sell out.

well that novelty didn't help the Rays who averaged about 8,000 fans for their 3-game series (btw, 2008 was their World Series year)...and I would say few vactioners went, even though the games were played at Disney.

My understanding is there won't be any NFL games played in ORL until they renovate the Citrus Bowl to NFL standards or build a new stadium to NFL standards.  Why would they do this, you ask?  To get in the Superbowl rotation with Pasadena, New Orleans and Miami.  They could have a Jags home game and a Bucs home every year plus the Citrus Bowl game and other college games.

Weaver won't have a choice if the NFL demands it.

The NFL is run by 32 owners, and they have Goddell as their puppet. Never lose sight of who owns and runs the league. It is highly unlikely that other owners would tell Weaver how to run his business.

As a Rays fan (one of two in Jacksonville), I went to a game in Orlando with my wife. We sat right behind home plate and almost everybody I talked to was from the Tampa are and used the game as an excuse to go to Orlando.
