Jacksonville Jaguars Tickets
In 1992, the NFL announced that it would add two new teams, originally in time for the 1993 season. The league had not expanded since the 1976 season with the addition of Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers; with the sport growing the NFL felt the time was right to add additional franchises. The biggest potential obstacle for the Jacksonville bid was nonstop turmoil and conflict surrounding the potential ownership group. It had formed even before the NFL announced its intentions to expand, in 1989. The group called itself Touchdown Jacksonville! and placed its formal application with the NFL in 1991.
Within ten days, the Florida Times-Union (Jacksonville's daily newspaper) announced sales had passed the 55,000 Jacksonville Jaguars tickets mark. After the Gator Bowl game on December 31, 1993 the old stadium was essentially demolished and replaced with a reinforced concrete superstructure. All that remained of the old stadium was the west upper concourse and a portion of the ramping system.
In 1995, along with the Carolina Panthers, the Jacksonville Jaguars entered the NFL as the first expansion teams in almost 20 years. Both teams participated in the 1995 NFL Expansion Draft, with the Jaguars taking Steve Beuerlein, who quickly lost his starting job to Mark Brunell, with the first pick.
When they entered the League in 1995, the Jaguars were considered by Forbes' magazine to be among the most valuable Franchises, with one of the highest average ticket prices in the league, a larger-than-average stadium with 73,000 seats, including a most-in-the-league 14,000 club seats, and the largest number of luxury boxes in the league at that time.
The divisional schedule this season includes the November 1 football game at 4:05pm EST at Tennessee Titans LP Field, December 6 at 1pm EST with the Houston Texans at home at the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, and Dec. 17 (Thursday) at 8:20pm EST with the Indianapolis Colts at home in the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. Watch if Garrard and company can deliver a winning season with Jacksonville Jaguars tickets from The Seats.
