Jaguars Scrimmage

Every year, the Jaguars hold a scrimmage that is open to the public, this year they changed it up a little and only allowed season ticket holders the ability to attain tickets. Each season ticket holder could request as many tickets as they like, so in essence, everyone could go to the game, it was just a way to allow season ticket holders an added privilege. Of course we went, it was actually a test to see how Ava would do at the actual games. We hadn’t purchased her a season ticket- last year we made do with buying a ticket on a per game basis, she went to just about every single one last year. We didn’t know how a 2 year old was going to handle the game atmosphere, so this gave us a chance to feel her out.

What can I say, my girl loves football. She started clapping as soon as she saw the players- she must have remembered this from last year! We sat in the same general area as our regular seats, so I think she felt right at home. Of course, she also loved seeing “Jax” (aka Jaxson de Ville) all over the field. She kept waving to him and pointing him out to her daddy!

 

The scrimmage didn’t start until 7:30 so she got pretty tired as the evening went on. We know that she will not be attending any of the late games (there is only 1 this season), which is for 2 reasons, 1 because it will be past her bedtime and 2 I don’t think I am quite ready to introduce her to that atmosphere.

We called the ticket office and added her a seat the very next business day. My sister is already complaining because she says she is the only unloved one in the family….my response is- yeah…right!….

Win or lose, this little munchkin is going to have some fun! I think we are going to have to invest in a cheerleading outfit…she liked the other little girls at the scrimmage who had them on….Adam is just praying she doesn’t actually want to become one! ;0
