Why did you add this to the scoreboard thread?  It's important to know what percentage of the ticket sales will go to the city, but even without this the city will more than make this money back this weekend.

If I remember correctly, there was prognostication that the scoreboards would result in world class concerts and events booking at the stadium.

Just checking to see if U2 has decided to come through JAX?

The recent upgrades to EverBank Field, including new scoreboards and premium seating, has helped to make to the River City a bigger player in bringing upper-level sporting events to town.

Most major concerts come to arenas, ie Mary J Blige, Justin Bieber etc at the JVMA.

That would be awesome!

And the multi-purpose facility and amphitheater add to the competitiveness. College playoff game, maybe. Not sure we'll be able to get a championship game.

No, no U2. Just more high profile sporting events.
