Just imagine what porn would look like on there.:D

If a tree falls in the woods...

Possibly the only time on ASFN when the solution precedes the problem.

"Come for the Jaguars, stay for the cougars! Free giant screen porn from kickoff to the end of the game!"

Instant sellouts.

No matter what video enhancements, gigantic screens, whatever, the rule on limited replays on challenged plays will always mean that the fans at the game get screwed over, compared to the fan at home that sees the replay 5-10 times from different angles with all the commentary to go with it. I get why they have these rules but it this will never sit right with me. I don't know how many times I've called someone from the UofP who is watching at home to find out if the refs got the call right. Its an absurdity.

I hope your right. You shouldn't get penalized for shelling out the money and going to the actual game.

I think Gee is right, I remember reading that they can show replays in the stadium now.

That or they outright banned them :shrug:

They need all the help they can get to encourage fans to show up. I went to 2 games there last fall as it is my closest NFL city (about a 2 hr drive) and while the stadium is nothing special it isn't a whole lot different than Tampa or Nashville as far as outdoor stadiums go. They are also adding some other amenities too, talk of a couple of pools in the stadium--not sure where. I have to hand it to Khan he is trying to do what he can to get fans to come...of course a quality product sure would help.

I hear the NFL is talking about them giving up 2 home games a year to play in London...as it stands now they are giving up 1 game a year for the next 4 years.

Know what a cure would be? Putting together a competitive, winning team. Cures ills. Look what it did for our team.

To be fair AZ did sell out a couple of seasons before they had a winning product. The new stadium was a draw to a lot of otherwise apathetic fans.

The new rule this season is that the spectators at the game will see exactly what the referee is looking at on review.

Could be worse, could be like baseball with NO jumbotron replay of plays/calls.

That may be a precursor to Jax moving to London. I know there has been talk about them moving there.

That would be a crazy road trip. The NFL has made it known for years they want to go international...London would be a huge market for them.

If things work out, I'm may get a free roadie to the Jax London game this year. I doubt it happens but my sister in-law is going with the Jags people and I'm trying to weasel my way in there.

If I do make it, English on Tour, has to make the trip to a local pub with me. :cheers:
