JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -The Jacksonville Jaguars have avoided a blackout for the first time this season.
The Jaguars announced Monday that their home finale against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night will be televised locally and in secondary markets. The small-market franchise had blacked out their previous nine home games, including two in the preseason.
A civic group called “Touchdown Jacksonville” began a ticket-selling campaign earlier this season, hoping to generate buzz locally and end talk about the team relocating or playing games in London or Orlando. One of the group’s first goals was to help sell out the home finale.
The Jaguars have struggled to sell tickets in a sluggish economy. About 17,000 season-ticket holders decided not to renew in 2009.
