Sold out for Sunday
The Jaguars previously announced that single game tickets are sold out for the regular season opener versus the Green Bay Packers. Very limited inventory remains for Sunday as part of season ticket packages. Season ticket information is available at www.jaguars.com/more or by calling 904.633.2000.
Pregame patriotism
Fans are encouraged to be in their seats early as the Jaguars and the NFL pause to remember the events of Sept. 11. Following the PROWL and player introductions, a 100-yard field flag will be displayed by First Coast military members and first responders. After a moment of silence, the national anthem will be performed by saxophonist "Funky" Leroy Harper, Jr. A flyover will then be conducted by two F-15C Eagle Fighter jets from the 125th Fighter Wing, Florida Air National Guard. The pilots for Sunday are Florida Air National Guard citizen-airmen Lt. Col. Randy Reep and Maj. Shelby Robb.
Halftime #JagSalute
This week the Jaguars issued a call to fans to submit photos of local military members and first responders using the hashtag #JagSalute. The photos are being incorporated by the Jags Cinema team into a special halftime tribute on the world's largest video boards. The video will be shown during a performance of "God Bless America" by the world-famous Liberty Voices, an eight-part acapella group. The halftime salute is in addition to the Jaguars' traditional game day celebration of military through programs like Hometown Hero, Veteran of the Game and 4th Quarter Bell Ringer.
New safety procedures in place
Starting this season, fans arriving at EverBank Field on game day will be screened by walk-through magnetometers at all entry gates. Fan safety is a priority to the Jaguars and EverBank Field. To help expedite entry into the stadium, fans should keep small items such as keys and coins in their pockets and be prepared to put larger items such as cell phones, camera and binoculars in the bins.
You are encouraged to leave your bag at home, but if you need to bring a bag, it should be either bags that are clear plastic and do not exceed 12" x 6" x 12", a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag or a small clutch, approximately the size of a hand. For complete details on what you can bring to EverBank, visit www.jaguars.com/allclear.
