ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Roger Goodell says it’ll be a challenge for the Jacksonville Jaguars and some other clubs to avoid television blackouts this season.
The NFL commissioner visited the Washington Redskins players and coaches. Speaking about the Jaguars, who the Redskins play on the road Thursday in their final preseason game, Goodell said the club is “one of the markets where we’re seeing some challenges from ticket sales coming into the 2009 season.”
Goodell said the league has been working with clubs to find more creative ways to entice fans to the games during the economic downturn.
Goodell said he also had a meeting planned in Washington with NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith.
