experience at our home games as we strive to increase our attendance to 900 fans per game,” stated Jets
President Bill McCoshen. “We also wanted to ensure that our players and coaches are much more involved in community activities. We are confident Big Red’s passion for the Janesville area and the Jets will help us achieve those goals.”
