Jacksonville Jaguars (17/32)

December 22nd, 2013

Matchup:  Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tennessee Titans (w)


Setting:

• Amazing seats - maybe the best we've had yet!  Row B at 45 yard line on the field level with access to the Touchdown Club House.

• Did I mention that the tickets were extremely affordable - particularly considering the location!

• Although it was December, it was extremely hot - over 80 degrees!

Highlights:

• Kenny Britt waved to me

• Rob handed out a hat to a demanding 12-year old. 

Trip Memories: 

• While in Jacksonville for the first time, we visited the Landing - a cute little mall area that's a highlight in the city.

• Not sure how we feel about the parent in front of us who attempted to control his children by threatening to "beat [them] crippled"...
• The plane ride home on Delta was eventful with a crash-emergency landing in Washington DC. Fortunately the alarms of fire were false and everyone was safe and sound.
