They cant even fill the stadium so why do they have a forum? Then again I wouldnt go to that stadium either, kinda in a bad part of town, not that Jax has a good part of town, trust me I've been there
Oh ok k19, I am a transplanted diehard Cowboys fan who happens to live in Jacksonville. You absolutely don't know what you are talking about. And I have lived in Mesquite, Dallas and Houston for that matter.
Alltel Stadium is located between the edge of downtown and the beginning of the industrial area along the St. Johns River. If it is so bad why did they host the Superbowl here let alone build a stadium. Every large city has its low income and industrial corridors.
Jacksonville, territorially is actually the size of its county and has a number of prominent neighborhoods and suburbs including but not limited to San Marco, Southpoint, San Pablo, Mandarin, Ortega, Riverside, Bartram, etc..
Jacksonville has a formidable medical community and is a growing international port city. It is increasingly being used by the film industry for movie shoots because of pockets of old and new architecture and nearby parks and beaches. In the early 1900's Jacksonville was the Hollywood of the East.
This town like Dallas is not perfect and has its beauty marks and warts. I will be going to the Cowboys game thanks to a vendor who gave me two club seat tickets. I am ecstatic. The Jaguars have a very good team and are not to be understimated. I hope we kick their butts as I am so sick of hearing about them, living here.
I am not the public relations hot shot for this city. But Jacksonville is only a fraction of what you describe.
