Fox Sports might want to take a stroll around downtown Jacksonville.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s because viewers noticed that the B-roll used after the Jaguars beat the Panthers, 26-10, in Week 1 featured the Jacksonville Landing. The Landing hasn\u2019t existed since 2019.<\/p>\n

Fox apparently didn\u2019t get the memo.<\/p>\n Jacksonville residents weren\u2019t thrilled to see their demolished landmark on national TV.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t wait until the 2028 season and we see this. https:\/\/t.co\/6eJKDo1bIT<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/mSh78wC1ld<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Chef Chris (@ChefJags) September 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n How hard is it to reach out to a local affiliate or spend a few bucks on some timely B-roll? https:\/\/t.co\/DFnxfZfdUm<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Nick Mousa (@NickMousa) September 7, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n If you want an idea of how bad FOX is at their job<\/p>\n The Landing has not existed since 2019 https:\/\/t.co\/43oOVgIzCM<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 JaguarGator9 (@JaguarGator9NFL) September 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s been over 5 years since the Jacksonville Landing was demolished @NFLonFOX<\/a> how hard would it be to get some updated footage??? https:\/\/t.co\/17Oiy0qZT9<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Christopher T Ebreo Jr (@Ebreo_Travels) September 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n This isn\u2019t as egregious as ABC airing footage of the Twin Towers during a Knicks game<\/a>, but it comes at an interesting time. During the same broadcast window, Ian Eagle made a point of showing actual New Jersey locations<\/a> instead of generic Manhattan shots during a Jets game.<\/p>\n The Landing opened in 1987 as part of Jacksonville\u2019s downtown revitalization efforts. For over 30 years, it was a recognizable part of the city\u2019s skyline, as a two-level glass-and-steel complex with an orange roof sitting on the north bank of the St. Johns River.<\/p>\n But the 126,000-square-foot center struggled financially for years. Foot traffic never reached projected numbers, and stores kept closing. A mass shooting at a video game tournament in 2018<\/a> accelerated its demise.<\/p>\n The city took control in 2019, paid $18 million to buy out the remaining tenants, and demolished the entire complex. Demolition began in October 2019 and wrapped up shortly after.<\/p>\n Fox using five-year-old footage is an odd choice. The Landing was a recognizable part of Jacksonville\u2019s downtown, and showing it after a Jaguars game probably confused viewers who knew it was gone.<\/p>\n Networks use outdated B-roll all the time, but this was particularly noticeable. It\u2019s not like they showed an old shot of some random street corner. They showed a major downtown attraction that no longer exists.<\/p>\n Maybe Fox should take a page from Ian Eagle\u2019s book and actually show what cities look like now, not what they looked like five years ago.<\/p>\n \t
