GAME DAY FAN INFORMATION
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS VS. BUFFALO BILLS – SUNDAY, NOV. 7
Fans are invited to TIAA Bank Field this Sunday, Nov. 7 as the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Buffalo Bills in the first home contest for Jacksonville at TIAA Bank Field in nearly a month. The matchup kicks off at 1 p.m. and will be broadcast regionally on CBS and on radio on WJXL (1010AM, 92.5 FM) and in Spanish on 930AM/97.3FM via Accion. This week’s game is sponsored by Publix.
ALUMNI WEEKEND
This Sunday, the Jaguars will welcome back former Jaguars greats during a pregame ceremony. More than 40 alumni are expected to attend the game, including Josh Scobee, Paul Posluszny, David Garrard and many more. Alumni will be signing autographs and meeting with fans at multiple locations in the Fan Entertainment Zone from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. In honor of Alumni Weekend, the First DUUUVAL will be delivered by legendary Jaguars WR Jimmy Smith. Smith played in Jacksonville for 11 seasons and was selected to five Pro Bowls (1997-2001). He is the franchise’s all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.
PREGAME PATRIOTISM
The Star-Spangled Banner will be performed by Votte Hall. In 2018, Hall reached the Billboard Top 20 with his hit song “Kiss On Me.” Hall’s sound can be best described as R&B mixed with a soulful style of hip-hop.
The American Flag will be held by Jaguars season ticket members and the colors will be presented by members of the Jacksonville University Naval Reserve Training Corps Color Guard.
The flyover will be executed by the 159th Fighter Squadron from the 125th Fighter Wing based out of Jacksonville at the Jacksonville International Airport. The formation will be led by Major Rick “Humpty” Gallup. The Daytona Beach native will lead a squadron of four F-15C jets high above TIAA Bank Field. Gallup spent 13 years in the Marine Corps flying F/A-18 Hornets as a weapons and tactics instructor and also served as a forward air controller with the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines.
HALFTIME ENTERTAINMENT
The halftime show will feature performance painter David Garibaldi. Garibaldi takes a blank canvas and creates original artwork in as few as 10 minutes. He has performed at various venues, including during the NBA Finals, the Olympics and at the White House. He was also a finalist on America’s Got Talent and was recently honored at the John F. Kennedy Center of Performing Arts for his contributions after surpassing 6 million dollars in auction proceeds raised from the sale of his paintings.
