Looks like there will be plenty of room for the real fans then.

Blackouts are unheard of in Football country, what could the reason be?

BAD TEAMS!?! I come to this conclusion because the Bengals, Chargers, and Bucs have blackouts.

Economy is awful people are barely making it..

Also this is happening in 5 playoff cities teams as well..

The future of this team is far brighter than it was at this point last year.

We have a secure foundation on offense for the first time in years...with extreme potential for a long-sought franchise WR.

Same thing on the D.

Yea man, screw the economy! We arent DIE HARD enough!!!

First off, we are talking about a pre-season game that ALL casual fans avoid like the plague unless they've never been to an NFL game before and the tix were given to them.  The only ones watching the preseason are die hards that like to see how the backups are matching up against other teams, fantasy football members scouting for their upcoming draft, and football junkies just looking for a fix.

This preseason is an anomaly because you never see 1st team players more than 1 or 2 series but this year I've seen 5 games with starters playing in the 2nd quarter.  The owners are finally trying to justify charging full price for preseason by playing the guys we want to see a little deeper into the game.  A preseason game should never be blacked out for a lack of ticket sales

You people who wanted Raheem as head coach are the ones who caused this.

[ToddyBuc]

Cant wait for them to go to 2 pre season games...

Java not to many people wanted him imo..  The Glazers chose him.. I wanted Cowher myself..

But if we improve man you got cheer for the team, and if we dont turn it around you Cyberdude-Logan Bucs will be happy..

Some of us don't live close enough or have enough money to blow on a preseason game full of players who will never play a meaningful NFL snap. Get off your high horse.

It's Tebow's fault. If he hadn't been a wuss and would have come out a year early like the other QB's, the Bucs may have drafted him last season and the preseason games at RJS would be packed now. Blame him, Java.

[JavaBuc]

Heemy never would have taken Tebow.   Gruden would have however.

[PewterG@tor]

No, he wouldn't have.

[CyberDilemma]

Heemy never would have taken Tebow.   Gruden would have however after Tebow had been in the league about 15 years and was starting to get a noodle arm.

You are correct.
