Jacksonville doesn't deserve an NFL team with that kind of backing, even one that sucks as bad as the Jags sucked today.

They have a weird pricing structure, the seats between the 30s are exorbitantly expensive.
The crowd was fairly decent at kickoff, not near a sellout but not bad. Living here, I think the fan engagement in Jacksonville is just as high or in the same ballpark as it is in Kansas City. It's just that there are only 1.3 million people in the metro and the team sucks balls, so that's what you end up with.
