Tips for fans

The first preseason game I attended in Jacksonville taught me a few things. Here are some tips to maximize your fun:
~Dress for the heat.
~Leave early. Traffic is heavy.
~Avoid alcohol (I know it’s breaking your heart, but it’s all about the heat.)
~If you tailgate, prepare light foods that have a low spoilage index.
~Hydrate before, during and after the game (water not alcohol).

It’s time to buy those season tickets so you can tailgate and cheer on Jacksonville’s NFL team. You can purchase them on the Web. There’s clear information about seating and prices.

Most of us fans are hoping the Jags will take Tennessee down when our Jax team travels to Nashville on November 11. Last year’s Titan victory means we’re out for payback.

All 86 team members report for football duty on July 27. The first practice session will take place on Saturday, July 28 at 10:15 a.m. on the practice fields northwest of Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.

Training camp will be open to the public for viewing through August 9. Training camp will feature 20 practice sessions over two weeks before the start of the Jaguars’ preseason on August 11. There is no admission charge for training camp, and parking will be available in the parking lots surrounding the stadium.

Complete details are available on the Jaguar Web site.
