The Jacksonville Jaguars announced today the 2012 Team Teal rally schedule, part of the community initiative to revive support and pride in the team and increase ticket sales. To generate excitement and recruit fans for the Jaguars, Team Teal will host four pep rallies across Northeast Florida.

"A new owner and coach, an inspiring draft and a reinvigorated fan base are combining to create what I expect to be one of the most exciting seasons in Jaguar history," said Tony Boselli, commissioner for Team Teal. "Shahid Khan is committed to a winning team and a memorable experience for Jaguars fans. I want every fan in Jacksonville to be a part of this unforgettable season, and that starts with building our momentum at these Team Teal Rallies."

Each rally will be family friendly and include appearances by coaches, players, ROAR cheerleaders and Jaxson de Ville. (Specific coach and player appearances will be announced prior to each rally.)
