Catlett promising "major" CFB game at Everbank in 2016, FSU game in 18/19

The city clearly had some real misfortune on this game. Notre Dame was always going to be the big draw and they just happen to be in the middle of a very bad year. Ordinarily, they would have packed the place. Not this year.

It happens.

Their bad record has killed the draw, true, but this is a win for Jax. Personally, we've got 9 squids we're housing in our 2BR Springfield space for the weekend who came over from the Panhandle for the game. Plenty of visitors in town who may or may not go to the game. The empty seats won't be a black mark on the city. The weather will be beautiful, there are things to do in town for the visitors -- cool out. All is well.

It is a reminder, though: the game has changed on sporting events. Ticket sales are absolutely not what they used to be. At pro events, or college. SEC fanbases don't travel to away games like they used to, for instance. The world has changed and entertainment options are much, much more diverse and less expensive.

Wow... The stadium is really empty. The upper decks are completely bare and the lower levels are pretty sparse when the camera zooms in. It's a shame these teams are playing so poorly this season. Hopefully people stick around and check out the new brewery, restaurants, etc

Navy is actually having a pretty good season, Notre Dame is the team that is terrible this year.

Announced attendance was 50,867. Not bad at all. The Squids we rented to came over from Eglin AFB, loved the stadium and the game, stayed out until 4:30 a.m., and obviously had a great time in Big Duval.

It appears that Jacksonville is trying to host the displaced game between BYU & LSU.

Orlando and Nashville also it sounds like.

[JBTripper]

Why don't they just play it in Provo? Is LSU too chicken?

that would be fun.

The game is moved to New Orleans. Kind of surprising considering parts of Louisiana are flooding too.

LSU steals another home game.
