Jaguars fans can watch games from poolside cabanas

Jacksonville Jaguars fans will be able to watch a game this season while sitting in a pool inside the stadium.

The team has taken out 9,500 seats in the north end zone and is replacing them with a two-level party deck that includes two pools and 16 cabanas complete with plush furniture.

Companies or fans can rent one of the four poolside cabanas on the first level for $12,500 a game, or $250 per person. The package includes 50 tickets and is all-you-can-eat and drink. Wine and beer will be served through the third quarter, as is the case with the rest of the stadium.

SNIP

Chad Johnson, the team's senior vice president of sales, said the team has sold 65 percent of the in-stadium cabanas for the 2014 season.

Can't Jacksonville get pretty cold starting around November?

Folks still won't show up for those games.

They should've gotten Tebow when they had the chance or Johnny Football more recently.

Jaguars have zero star power.

Tebow? Really??? Jags management could have signed Tebow MONTHS AGO if they wanted to.

Apparently, they don't want to.

Win or lose, Tebow a couple of years ago would have sold tix and jerseys.

plus he is a local star at the local level w/ his success at UCF. He'll be a star if he wins games and safer pick than Manziel.
