400 Come Out To Revive Jags Pride Rally

Nearly 400 supporters showed up at a Jaguars Revive the Pride rally in Fernandina Beach on Monday night.

"The goal is to make sure that every game is sold out next year and that every game is on TV," former Jaguar Tony Boselli said.

Boselli, the Team Teal commissioner, said the organization designed to drum up support for the hometown team has seen a good turn out at all of its events so far, and Nassau County was no different.

"It's super exciting," Boselli said. "It shows you there is the passion there, and with what the Jags are doing as far as making the tickets more and more affordable, the effort of Team Teal and Touchdown Jacksonville, I think we'll get there."

The group wants to see fans as excited as they were in 1995 when the team first came Jacksonville. So Team Teal is spending the offseason pumping up the community.

"I feel like the early years when we were trying to get things going, I feel like we are back along that pathway in terms of just regenerating interest in the team," Jaguars general manager Gene Smith said.

Bringing out players, cheerleaders and special deals for tickets certainly seems to be working.

"I think that the spirit that's here with the Jags, if we can all come together and support that, it will be a great boost for our economy, and the people here will really support what's happening, and we need to keep that," one fan said.
