Is anyone going to the Jags game on October 12th? I am going to be there with my son who is going to the University of Southern Florida, and I wanted to see if any of us 12s are going. Looking to tailgate pregame or whatever.
Where in Florida are you based? U of Southern Florida is in Tampa.

I am based on Orlando and have a place in Melbourne/Palm Bay, a STR that is a 2.5 hour drive up I-95 to EverBank Stadium. Or 3 hours from Orlando, but, but, traffic.

Have you been to EverBank Stadium before? I haven't. On game day, 8am EST departure *should* get to the stadium by 11am for the 1:00pm EST game, but is that realistic with parking, etc.?

Last Seahawks game I went to was in Husky stadium... had season tickets in the Kingdome for a few years.

I'm in the Orlando area as well, the one thing I'm not sure about is the weather in the middle of October. Sometimes in October it can be nice and sometimes it can be down right hot and humid.
I'm also looking at the drive to Charlotte when we play the Panthers during the holidays. Might be more fun and a better game.

Any road game in the NFL is likely to be a tough game. In years past, Hawks had a pattern of making backup QBs look like All-Pros. Trevor Lawrence is a starter and could be motivated and ready. I'm not looking at Jags as an "easy out". Any given Sunday...

Anyone remember this game from the 2013 season, against Mike Glennon, "All-Pro"? It was a HOME game, not even a road game.

I live 30 minutes north of Tampa in Lond O Lakes. You should come out and go to the game. Prices seem reasonable.

I’m in Tampa and we usually do one road game a season. This year though we’re going to Nashville and making a long weekend out of it. We were thinking about Jacksonville but a weekend in Nashville sounded a lot better to my wife. It’s the weekend before Thanksgiving if anyone else is going.

It looks like I may be on a flight from SeaTac to MCO (Orlando) on Oct. 12, but I'll check tickets and logistics.

Wife and I will be there! Flying down to Jax on the 10 and staying 5ish days. Lived there for a few years for work and it's our home away from home now.

Section 241.

Not sure where we'll be pre-game. Likely, at Intuition Aleworks or at Tailgate.

I'll be there in section 225 Row E. Spending Saturday afternoon at the destroyer on the waterfront, but wouldn't mind meeting up Saturday night or Sunday evening.

I'm staying out by the airport and taking a bus in for the game.

Looks like a good chance of rain, but highs in the 80s.

I hope to see some of you there.
