Yes, they were overperforming for a market their size. Of course, they were also winning.

If you don’t think other team use those loopholes, let me introduce you to the Bucs, Bengals, Dolphins, Chiefs and Chargers.

The NFL lowered their blackout threshold this year to 85%. The Jags did not accept it.

Not even people who live in LA, who want a team in LA, believe the Jaguars are coming there.

I didn’t say other teams didn’t use the loophole. I’m simply pointing out that indeed the Jags clearly have a long term history of having trouble selling tickets. I also didn’t say I thought they were moving to LA, I don’t think ANYBODY is moving to LA. LA is more valuable to the NFL as a threat. Most of the stadiums that have been built using public funding (so not the Pats new stadium, and Pittsburgh and Dallas found other ways to get public funds) the team at one point threatened to move to LA id they didn’t get a new building. The lack of a team in LA is a revenue generator... well a stadium generator.
