Fan OTA's


While we are all wondering if NFL games will be missed next year or if ANY games will be played, Draft prospects and players are out there preparing for next season. They can still use team facilities at least for the next 7 days. After that, they will be on their own. So, if there is a lockout OTA's (Organized Team Activities) probably won't happen and training camp (a personal favorite- 1. FREE 2. Seeing what I'm going to be sweating for 3. Autographs 4. FREE) is in jeopardy.
Some suggest that there are 3 sets of people involved: 1. NFL Owners 2. NFL Players 3. NFL Fans . Some suggest that but not me. I know where my place is in all of this. I'm a bystander, onlooker. Yeah, I pay to be one. Certain rights are afforded to me, however, I never assert myself in these things. I want to see football. Period.
I said all of that to say this: Players might miss their OTA's. I'm not gonna miss mine. That's right. Fans have their own OTA's. What possible OTA's do fans have?
1. The first OTA for fans is the renewing of the season ticket or becoming a season ticket holder. It's an important OTA because, well, you want to have a guaranteed seat every game don't you? You want to have the same seat right? Most teams offer incentives, i.e. no interest for 10 months, etc. As a Jacksonville Jaguar Season Ticket Holder, I have 20 for 20. 20 Month interest free payment plan for 2 seasons worth of tickets. Last year, they gave out Teal Deals. A coupon booklet filled with discounts all over town and for all kinds of things. (if games are missed I get my money back, so who cares. Get some season tickets or there will be blackouts and my dog can't watch the game from home)
On the next several Blogs of Ramblings of a Football Chick, we will discuss more "Fan OTA's".
