00:00:01
Speaker 1: No, it won't be all done.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: I mean we've already started well, and the emphasis obviously once we closer to twenty six, we'll be on twenty six.
00:00:09
Speaker 1: With the ground, the low will be laid, the foundation will be laid.
00:00:13
Speaker 2: Start working with partners and how we're gonna operate and kind of timing everything else so that when the season's over, we think can have the whole building, including our coaching staff, really involved in the details of how we're gonna operate. Because the last thing we want to do right now is have any of our coaches worrying about twenty seven.
00:00:29
Speaker 1: We have enough to worry about with twenty six right now.
00:00:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, will you treat it when you treat this like a road game in terms of you'll come up bus.
00:00:37
Speaker 1: Down Saturday and then stay the night, and then Sundays.
00:00:41
Speaker 2: Will view this as a home game because with a long commute to the office, all right.
00:00:45
Speaker 1: I mean that's how we feel. I mean we think listen, Number one, we.
00:00:48
Speaker 2: Think a lot of our fans will come down from Jacksonville. We think we have a ton of fans in Orlando. We also know that there's a ton of NFL fans. And then that with the you combine that with an amount of visiting teams are gonna want to come to Orlando.
00:01:04
Speaker 1: To watch their team play. I mean it's a great opportunity. I mean it's somebody with five kids as.
00:01:09
Speaker 2: Got quite a bit of time on nine to five and four head to Disney, so we're familiar with it, and I know my family is excited about coming down to watching the NFL and watching the Jaguars play here.
00:01:19
Speaker 1: Whom the Advans are already.
00:01:20
Speaker 4: But we have a lot of logistics so we get bust down on a eighty four would just be like an all the world game with a flight you know that game.
00:01:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're working on that right now.
00:01:29
Speaker 2: We have a whole team across the entire organization, different departments working through the logistics to planning because it's not just the football operation side, but it's also business.
00:01:39
Speaker 1: We have sponsors, we have our fans, we have our players'.
00:01:42
Speaker 2: Families that we're gonna have to think about because they're coming down.
00:01:44
Speaker 1: They all a lot of them.
00:01:45
Speaker 2: Have small kids, and so it's a whole organization effort to put the details together.
00:01:50
Speaker 1: We're at the very beginning stages. We'll spend a lot of time in this offseason working.
00:01:55
Speaker 2: On that so that we can focus on twenty six once the twenty six season gets here, and then at the end of that, going into the next offseason, we'll start looping in our coaches.
00:02:04
Speaker 1: At that point. Right now they're focused on twenty six. How much organization where you just have to embrace the whole thing.
00:02:10
Speaker 4: This is obviously abnormal, but you guys are used to that a little bit with London.
00:02:14
Speaker 1: But I mean, you got to do that to be successful, right, to just embrace it. We look at it as an opportunity. I mean, I think it's a great opportunity for us. At the end of the day.
00:02:23
Speaker 2: You build a football team, the engineer football team that could play anywhere, and we believe that.
00:02:27
Speaker 1: We believe that we have a.
00:02:28
Speaker 2: Right head coach and Lamb and the general manager and James the engineer team to put together that we'll play. Obviously, we love our home stadium and playing in Jacksonville, but we play in London.
00:02:38
Speaker 1: We go on the road. We had five West Coast games.
00:02:40
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure we did okay last year on the West Coast and we'll come to Orlando when it's time and we'll be ready to play down here. We're looking forward to playing in front of other fans in camping.
00:02:52
Speaker 4: I think it's great and there's a lot more to do and we beat on Yeah, so it's great.
00:03:00
Speaker 2: Day.
00:03:01
Speaker 3: You mentioned having some connection to the city of Orlando has been in a lot of time here.
00:03:05
Speaker 4: How exciting is it to know twenty twenty seven you'll get to spend a little bit more time here you have to rediscover.
00:03:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
00:03:13
Speaker 4: God show how much more grow can there be in the fan base from what you guys have done in London, but also just regionally here with Orlando.
00:03:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to see.
00:03:24
Speaker 3: The reality is the state of Florida's population is massive and the NFL is an extremely popular sport in the state of Florida. We believe that there's an access of two hundred thousand Jaguar fans who currently live in Central Florida. And you can't define a fan simply by those that go to the games. But in this particular case, I think we'll be able to deliver a much much closer connection between our fans in Central Florida and the Jaguars and to the degree people you know, fall in love, which are large or if we have great success down here. You know, they could end up continuing to be Jaguar fans. But you know, keep in mind this is this is necessary because of a commitment that Shod made to Jacksonville. It wasn't for that long term prove to Jacksonville by Shod and the city of Jacksonville, we wouldn't be down mentioned.
00:04:21
Speaker 1: The books being supportive and helpful. And this how important is that they were involved.
00:04:26
Speaker 2: In this process.
00:04:27
Speaker 1: You know.
00:04:28
Speaker 3: The important thing is you want all thirty one clubs supporting us, and you know they've been part of it.
00:04:36
Speaker 4: Were they more part of it than other teams?
00:04:38
Speaker 1: And if sir, how well?
00:04:41
Speaker 3: A lot of it is logistics and we had more conversations with the Bucks than we had with all the other teams because of their proximity. You know this, this is a really important point. The Orlando television market is massive. It's I think it's the fourteenth largest television market in the country. Not talking about just the city of Orlando, the Orlando television mark because that's what matters. Okay, there are portions of the Orlando television market that are exclusive territory for the Buccaneers. There's portions of the Orlando television market Daytona, Melbourne that are exclusive territory of the Jacksonville Jaguars. There's portions of it where we share in the Ocalam market, and there's others where any team can go in there. So when you have that type of complexity, We've had a radio affiliate in here since the inaugural season, We've had a television affiliate here since the inaugural season. Our games get prior priority when they're.
00:05:44
Speaker 1: On broadcast TV down here.
00:05:46
Speaker 3: So it is a market that we truly both operate in and because of that, we should have had more conversations with the Buccaneers than we would with the Dolphins.
00:05:54
Speaker 1: Ort away. With that said, could you see yourself not in twenty eight but down the road playing a preseason game in Orlando just to keep that relationship growing.
00:06:05
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I don't when project that preseason games are changing quite a bit, as you know, that would have to be coupled in all likelihood with practices that the teams would have before the preseason game. And you know, you'd also have the reality of we only you know, we we've committed to Jacksonville and we don't necessarily have the flexibility to other than those games that are part of NFL the series to be taking games all thet the pics.
00:06:32
Speaker 1: But Mark for season ticket holders, what do you know that you can share.
00:06:37
Speaker 4: With Jacksonville season ticket holders about twenty twenty seven.
00:06:40
Speaker 3: Well, Jacksonville season ticket holders, we'll get the first opportunity to buy tickets, and then from that point we will continue a public sale.
00:06:52
Speaker 1: In short order, we will be.
00:06:54
Speaker 3: Announcing a way for individuals to register interest in tickets. A lot of us probably going to come here from Central Florida, not necessarily from Jacksonville, and we'll go from there. I mean, it's it's great to hear the optimism from everybody down here. I know Shod is confident. We want to have an awesome year that year. We want the stadium to be full, we want the broadcast to be high quality, we want the fan experience to be top notch, we want the performance on the field to be great. And I think we're all collectively even more confident in Orlando, you know, than we may have been a month ago.
00:07:33
Speaker 4: Do you anticipate knowing how many home games in Orlando there will be prior to the normal NFL schedule or would that be when the schedule was released in these forty one of self.
00:07:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's it's hard to project that because there's still you you even't heard conversations coming out of the meetings in Phoenix about maybe a change to the schedule, so that would that would impact that. What we know today is we have ten home games in twenty twenty seven, one preseason, nine regular seas games. We know one of the nine regular season games is a game that the league is taking from us and taking it to London. It's our turn to give up a home game. Beyond that, there's no other commands.
00:08:12
Speaker 4: Do you know anything about primetime games.
00:08:14
Speaker 1: This year or next year?
00:08:16
Speaker 4: Because of the situation forty two thousand capacity in Jacksonville and then the Orlando are you guys still have would you be having to involve?
00:08:23
Speaker 3: Capacity is not going to impact the number of primetime games that we have in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: No, it won't be all done.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: I mean we've already started well, and the emphasis obviously once we closer to twenty six, we'll be on twenty six.
00:00:09
