Jacksonville setting up "fantasy football" cafes
In their stadium. I know they're awful, but are they really reduced to this?



Going to the Game, to Watch Them All on TV



By KEN BELSON
Published: September 14, 2013


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Inside EverBank Field, during the second half of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ lopsided loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday, Carlos Boria finally found a reason to cheer.
N.F.L.


“Yeah, baby,” he screamed as tight end Jimmy Graham scored a touchdown. But Graham is not a member of the Jaguars. He was playing for the Saints, about 500 miles away, at the Superdome in New Orleans.


Boria’s cheer was part of the cacophony in the new 7,000-square-foot fantasy football lounge at the Jaguars’ stadium, where fans were primarily following not the game they had bought tickets to attend, but those in other N.F.L. cities involving players on their fantasy teams.


In recent years, sports sites have increasingly been outfitted with high-definition video scoreboards, and high-definition televisions in the concourses, the better to essentially create a broadcast of the game that fans are also watching live. But lounges like the one the Jaguars have unveiled take that one step further. They attempt, in essence, to entice fans to watch not just the game that is being played a few hundred feet away from them but every other one going on around the league as well — and to spend money on food and drinks while doing so.


The lounges function as technology-friendly sports bars, with great locations and, because fans need to enter the stadiums first, expensive cover charges.


“We have to have a very compelling reason for fans to come to the game,” said Shahid R. Khan, the Jaguars’ owner...

I sit club level at Arrowhead and the past few weeks, those seats have been pretty damn full all game. Although part of that is probably the wonderful weather we've had lately but still.

They're playing Madden in the photo.


Enter areas like the Jaguars’ lounge, which is open to any fan in the stadium for no extra charge and offers air-conditioning, fast WiFi connections, video-game stations, comfortable recliners and food and drinks.

Madden has really been pissing me lately. I had to engineer some blowouts on NCAA last night to feel better. I was playing Heisman, but highly mismatched games. lol

Yes, all ticket proceeds will go toward disposal of fan waste

They had a Madden lounge set up earlier in the year at EverBank as a promotion for the game. These are not photos of whatever bar they are talking about building.

They are passing a stadium improvement package that will include new scoreboards, and some kind of unique end-zone stand that looks like a beach complete with a large pool and such to watch the game from. Another part of that package was improvements to all the bars and restaurants.

I wonder if this article might be taking a throwaway comment about appealing to fantasy fans and blowing it out of proportion.

Maybe but the article plainly states this lounge is inside the stadium and has video game stations and couches set up in addition to TVs for fantasy football purposes.
