I think another big reason, Jacksonville got a team was because of the USFL and the Jacksonville Bulls. The support that team got in their 1984 home opener was phenomenal. 73,000 plus to watch spring football. Jacksonville also led the league in attendance the 2 years they existed. I knew at that moment Jacksonville was special.

Yes ! Jacksonville was no stranger to football or the nfl. The NFL even played games in the gator bowl back in the day. We also got teased by several franchises to relocate because they knew we wanted a team BAD.

My grandmother started the Putnam County Jaguars Booster club in '93! All of Northeast Florida came together to get this team!

Would’ve never happened without the Weavers

Can't believe this is the first time I've come across this. I remember how excited the nine year old me was when I heard the news we were getting a team. I was too young to understand the logistics and everything going on behind the scenes but it's sad to see that the city council is just as petty short sited today as they were back then. It's a shame because this city has so much unrealized potential.

I'm glad that my town has a team and we're back to being good again

That pick for an expansion team should have gone to Baltimore, but the then NFL commissioner for whatever reason was bent on not awarding Baltimore anything. Told them to basically focus their efforts on building a museum or something to that effect.

Moreso Jack Kent Cooke, owner of Name Redacted, wasn’t ever gonna let a team in Baltimore unless it was by relocation. If that happened I wonder if the Browns would’ve gone to Houston in 1997 to replace the Oilers and LA got the 32nd expansion team.

If you’re not from Duval you don’t understand the pride we have for this team. It’s OUR team, the fact that our city that probably had no business having a team has one. We love our city.

Never thought Jacksonville would get a pro team at that time in 1993 when they could have given one to Tennessee, Baltimore, Las Vegas, St. Louis, Portland to name a few.

This brings back alot of good memories

14:03 22:25 Wowza, those shots are a blast from the past! It's hardly recognizable today as all of that in the shot has been ripped down and rebuilt. The Coliseum got imploded and replaced with the Veterans Memorial Arena and the old baseball field got demolished and built new from the ground up. Plus the roads around it have been redone as well. Also none of those buildings on the left exist anymore. AND Daily's Place Amphitheater was just recently added to the south end of the Stadium as well as a new indoor practice field.

How is this not a major motion picture

Is it just me or is Jacksonville run by a bunch of Georgia looking good ole boys.

Seems a shame watching this that the team will be relocating to London in 4 years. I've always been a fan of Gridiron but was never really attached to a team until Jacksonville began to call the UK its second home. Finally, we in Britain had a team what was kind of our own at the highest level we could get behind rather than simply picking a team based on its colours and cool names like we used to have to in this country 😂. After watching this and really thinking about it, I wouldn't be upset the Jags were to cancel their move here. Hopefully their attendance rates improve so the city can keep its beloved team.
