Michigan Bars in Jacksonville?
So I just moved to Jacksonville and thought I'd rely on the trusty Michigan Bar Locator to find a bar to watch the game. However, it appears as if there is not a Michigan Bar within a 2 hour drive and Jacksonville does not have a local alumni chapter.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good spot to watch the game? The specific area I moved to is Jacksonville Beach. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.
And yes, I made sure to get this post in before the season OT rules begin.

EverBank Field is a dump.

Regardless of the bar you choose, give the Jaguars front office a heads-up that the Lions could really use M Jones-Drew.

It's not a "Michigan Bar" but it's a decent sports bar about a block from the Pier.

i live up by the towncenter, and i like going to sneakers on the beach... always a good michigan sports in general following... red wings ect...

Where is the Town Center? Is that inside the I-295 Loop? I'm potentially moving to JAX later this year and definitely need to find Red Wing and Wolverine friendly bars. The last time that I was there (2011 Gator Bowl) wasn't so kind to Michigan.
I'm amazed how many Michigan fans are out there offering friendly advice.

When I was i Jacksonville I would always spend a decent amount of time in Players in San Marco. Not exactly a Michigan bar, but a decent place if you're into a halfway dive environment.

Grew up in Brighton, MI (classmates with Henson and Dave Pearson) then moved to Jax at 18 in 1999. SNEAKERS at the Beach has a wide range of fans including a large amount of maize & blue. Keep in mind, this is a Navy town and MICHIGAN is the "most favored nation" so no problem finding friendly's in there. Not to mention the 100 t.v.'s all tuned in. MUDVILLE is titled a "Michigan friendly bar" but when I've been there i saw no evidence of such. I'll repeat an earlier post, this is SEC country, but BLUE beats SEC regularly so use that ammunition. Big Football town is Jax. You're gonna love it!

I believe a "spirit club" is starting up this year in Jacksonville. I think a bunch of Michigan fans will be at Blackfinn to watch the game on Sept 1 at Blackfinn in the Southside area.

I just Googled Blackfinn. It's advertised as "Home Of The Buckeyes". Proceed with caution!
