Which was it for you? Today, we want to hear your story from you: How you became a fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">When did you first become a fan? Were you born into it? Was there a specific game or season that pulled you in? What\u2019s the earliest moment you remember as a fan?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">My family moved to greater Jacksonville at the turn of the century. I was a year old, and with no previous ties to Northeast Florida, I guess I didn\u2019t really cheer for the local team until they gave me something to cheer about. The 2017 season hooked me because it was a driving conversation not just for my close friend group, but really for everyone in the city. The more I talked to fellow fans \u2014 whether in person or on \u201cJags Twitter\u201d \u2014 the more my passion for the team grew. The 2017 season turned me into a fan; the community turned me into a diehard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Excited to hear your stories in the comments below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some fans choose their team, and some fans are chosen by their team.
