If anybody goes to London it will be Tampa Bay, why do you think they’ve played the last two or three years in that game, to build a fan base!

Not to mention the ties to Manchester United. Glaser will make it happen.

Strike two.

With the TV deal, not one team in the NFL is losing money. and with a new TV contract it’s just gonna be better.

Strike one!

It’s either LA or London. Only 25? It’s not a question of if, but when and where.

Hey dumbass, reread the article again and stop being so quick to jump into conclusions without the facts. In addition to the 25 million he would have to pay Wayne Weaver for Moving it, he would have to break the lease by proven that the team have three straight years of financial losses or proof that the city has failed to maintain the stadium in local courts. Some people such as yourself can be so ignorant.

so if the attendance is so good ,why is the team losing money? why was there tarps over some of the seats in the jags stadium a while back before the talk of moving started? the nfl is all about money and if the franchise is losing money like stated it will be relocated. colts,rams,raiders,ravens, have all won superbowl along with the bucs and dolphins..jags have a afc championship game APPEARANCE!! someone please explain why this team is losing money than..the media market is real small,the nfl clowned jville after the superbowl because they had to bring in cruise ships to provide hotel rooms because there was enough hotel space in the city to accomodate superbowl crowds! miami and tampa are larger tv markets and have a larger following of sports teams in their city compared to jville as well.. jville is a one trick pony town who barely have one professional sports team. the nfl is about media market size as well.. the rams are moving probobly after their lease is up as the rumor has kroenke the new rams owner selling interest to LA people and then he will buy broncos from bowlen and he will then own 3 teams in denver..one rumor had the jags then moving to STL. LA wants two teams one nfc and one afc…its gonna be a few years before anything takes place regardless who it is..it will happen though!

Its pretty ignorant to say the franchise should be moved since the team is never good.

Last time I checked (i.e. Colts, Rams, Raiders, Ravens, Titans) when franchises move…..they still are the same team. The team’s results have nothing to do with the city it plays in. Don’t blame Jacksonville for the failures of the team.

Like stated above, the actual attendances for the Jaguars are comparable to most teams in the league but grossly misreported/misinterpreted by the national media for some reason. Which also isn’t regular fans faults for just believing what they are told. The that should be ashamed are the national media who nowadays are too lazy to do actual investigative reporting which is a shame with the technology and their disposal.

Because Jacksonville is not or never will be a good team.
——————————————-
Wow “never will be a good team”. I guess you said the same about the Saints, Patriots, Atlanta, Jets, Houston, Detroit, Colts. As far as your division title, ever heard of a guy called Peyton Manning. Yeah he’s pretty good. No other division has had to deal with guy except for the AFC South. So since Jax will never be any good why don’t you just send an email to the Jags organization so they know what their future holds. While you’re at it sent it to the Rams, Bucs, Vikings, Bengals, Panthers, Cardinals, Seahawks, Colts, Browns.

Because Jacksonville is not or never will be a good team. How many times have they a division title or make the playoffs? And no one can say they’re still suffering from the expansion. Carolina and Baltimore have made it to super bowls but the jaguars just make bad decisions left and right. Can anyone honestly say he was a good hire? They went to the playoffs twice with him and now looking back on it, he’s just basically a defensive josh mcdaniels decision maker over a longer period of time. It would be weird to see the jaguars move but not surprising.

I don’t get it why do people want this team moved out of j-ville so bad? We had no blacouts since 2009 and 25 total blackouts during our exsistances. We average 63,000 people per game so what’s the bitterness with our city?

This article should have been titled “Jaguars have better attendance than Bengals, Raiders, Bears, Dolphins, Rams, Bucs, Cardinals and the same as the Steelers and Vikings with ZERO stadium issues with the city unlike these other teams mentioned” but you know nothing about Jax except for what the media have force fed you with LA would continue to write the same comments b/c it’s fun to Jaguar bash and that’s what all the cool kids are doing.

Look does Jax have tickets issues, yes. But were are in way better shape than all the above teams. I know most of you live on every word you read and hear and can’t form your own opinion like followers, but don’t let facts cloud your silly little judgement.

khan is a buisnessman!! what do buisnessmen do? their goal is to make money! the writing is on the wall!! this will be a scenario that probobly goes down just like the seattle supersonics situation did in the nba!! 3 maybe 4 years from now this team will have reloacated.. no doubt,thats why weaver sold it.he was losing money and he saves face as the guy who didnt move them outta jville!!!for jag fans i guess da nile(denial) isnt just a river in egypt!

the only reason the league wants a team in LA Is because of the large TV Market .people in LA Dont care about pro football they havent supported any team that has been there .

By: reed20fence

reed20fence — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:18:22 +0000

The only REAL sticking point is the three years of financial losses which, given the almost weekly headlines about local blackouts, isn’t tough to foresee.

In three years time I would seriously judge Khan for not moving the team to L.A.

It’s a HUGE fan base and the team would be a cash cow.

The man obviously isn’t strapped for shortterm cash and my hunch is that he recognizes an amazing opportunity when it’s starting him in the face.

“team’s value would expand from $760 million to $1.5 billion”

I’d call that a reason to maybe doubt him. I’m just sayin’…

My question is why keep it in Jacksonville? The NFL would be better off with a team in a big name city. While it may be true that both cities dont really give two ships about NFL football, generally speaking a team in LA would give other fans reason to watch. No one cares if Jacksonville wins simply because it is a dispassionate team with a weak fanbase.
LA, while fans support is equal, most other cities simply hate LA.
