Jags to allow fans to bring own food into EverBank Field, tell us what you think!

Submitted by Drew Dixon on July 27, 2012 - 11:10am Drew Dixon's Blog

The Jacksonville Jaguars will allow fans to bring their own food into EverBank Field for this year's home games against other NFL teams.

Here's the announcement from the Jags from their website www.jaguars.com.The franchise inserted the new policy near the end of a mention in the "notebook" area of the Internet site.

“Food is permitted inside EverBank Field for Jacksonville Jaguars home games provided that it is unwrapped and placed inside a one-gallon clear plastic bag no larger than 11-inch-by-11-inch (standard freezer bag),” the policy states. “All food items are subject to visual inspection and may be subject to a more thorough inspection if deemed necessary. Stadium security and the Jacksonville Jaguars reserve the right to deny any food item from entering the gates. No outside liquids or beverages will be permitted to enter EverBank Field. If food or beverage is required for medical purposes, please contact the Jaguars Fan Services Department.”

It's the first time in the history of the NFL in Jacksonville that fans can bring their own food into the stadium. We're soliciting comments from fans.

Neighbor was telling me how back in the day you could roll coolers into Muni. I grew up in the wrong Browns era.

Keep Heckert, but don't allow him to use 3rd round picks. (Traded one for Hardesty, used one on McCoy and Hughes).

@ evansilva - Sources have told me that
Heckert was being pushed out in PHI prior to getting job at # Browns, so he may not be future in # CLEV

The good, the bad, and the ugly
– The wide receiver position had a little bit of everything today in training camp. First, Mohammad Massaquoi was good. He looked smooth in QB/WR drills and received quite a bit of praise for his routes and effort from Nolan Cromwell.

Then we have the bad. Fans seem to always ask about Carlton Mitchell and why he does not play. When the second team offense was doing walk-throughs, Mitchell needed to be helped to his proper spot by Travis Benjamin. Remember, Benjamin was just selected in this year’s draft while Mitchell has been on the team for three years. Immediately after, Pat Shurmur had to help Mitchell with his positioning for a minute and it halted the offensive practice.

Josh Cooper
was ugly. Despite playing college ball with Brandon Weeden, Cooper is not assured a spot on this roster and his three drops today won’t help his cause. One was a diving attempt down field, but the ball did hit his hands and those are the types of catches that can be the difference between making a roster and being cut.

Defense leading the way
– At this point in training camp the defense always looks better than the offense. Today, however, the defense looked like it was filled with All-Pros. Joe Haden nearly had a diving interception off of Brandon Weeden on the first play of 11 on 11 drills. He also had a diving deflection later against Mohammad Massaquoi.

On a fade route from Weeden to Greg Little, Dimitri Patterson had blanket coverage and broke up the pass with perfect positioning.

The newest member of the Browns’ defense, Frostee Rucker, beat his man off the line and as Weeden tried to throw a screen pass, he leaped into the air and batted the pass backwards. Eric Hagg also joined the party by deflecting one pass across the middle and breaking up a swing pass to Trent Richardson.

Both kinds of energy
– Today was the start of training camp and there is always a quick pace and energy but it was heightened today. The defense was very vocal and boisterous and the coaches were moving at a frenetic pace.

Pat Shurmur
, on the other hand, was very fiery in his post practice press conference. He refused to take questions about the reported sale of the Browns and told reporters he would name a starting QB “on my time.” It certainly must be tough and frustrating to have this type of news come out on the first day of camp.

Don't get why it's happening right and to be honest, I'd be really pissed if they got rid of Heckert.

Rumor floating around OBR forums is that Hackert has already been given his walking papers. I havent seen it anywhere else so I can't confirm. I say its highly unlikely.

Only one I could see getting fired right away is Holmgren, and I still dont think that would be a good decision

Yeah I dont buy it either, for one thing the sale isn't even finalized yet, and its nots supposed to be until mid-late August. New GM searches typically happen after the season, not right before it.

I highly doubt Heckert sees the door until after the season. 6 wins definitely won't be enough to save him though.

Who knows, the sale of the franchise might be the greatest thing to happen to them.
