You are speaking in generalities. Lack of interest from who-- the public? Firstly, I do not know what you are expecting from a city where there hasn't been an NFL team in 15 years. Even then, the city has a better television market share than some cities with franchises at present; ironically, Oakland's 2010 attendance average was about the same as the Raiders last season in Los Angeles at a very dilapidated LA Colosseum in which people knew they were already bound to Oakland. 'Lack of interest' does not erase that a team in Los Angeles, in the right venue, would outperform Jacksonville or any other on the bubble franchise in attendance either.
lol.. jags arent leaving.

I can tell you that. Owner has said so a million times, we sold out every game last year, and no team has relocated to ticketsales.

I think you missed the point of that part of the post.

But just as an interesting aside, the Jaguars had, what, 9 out 10 home games blacked out in '09? Weren't they on the watch list for '10? Didn't they rank 24th in paid attendance and wasn't the team responsible for one of the lowest national ratings on MNF? For someone that stands on the platform of 'lack of interest' being a legitimate reason why LA doesn't have a team, those Jacksonville stats are a little unbecoming, aren't they?
