Why the Jacksonville University MBB Season Tickets Page Shows an Ad Blocker Notice

Updated

The judolphins.com MBB Season Tickets splash page displays an ad blocker notice because the site detects software on your browser that blocks ads, and it asks you to turn that software off. The page states that ad blocking hinders its ability to serve you the content you came for, and that ads support delivering the best possible experience. If you see this notice, the page content may not load until you disable the ad blocker or dismiss the message.

What the notice actually says

The splash page carries a short, fixed message rather than a full article. Its key parts are:

  • A detection statement — the site reports that an ad blocker has been detected.
  • A thank-you and a request — it thanks you for visiting and asks you to consider turning off your ad blocker.
  • A stated reason — "The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy."
  • A promise — the site says it wants to deliver "the best experience possible while you are here."
  • Two actions — a "Learn More About Ad Blockers" link and a "Close" control.

Why the site shows it

This is a gate, not an error. The page is a splash screen for Jacksonville University MBB Season Tickets, and it sits in front of the main athletics content. The site's own wording ties the notice directly to content delivery: ads are presented as the thing that funds or enables the experience, so blocking them is treated as an obstacle to serving the page.

Two practical consequences follow:

  1. The notice is triggered by your browser setup, not by anything you did wrong on the site.
  2. The site treats ad blocking as a condition it wants you to change before you continue.

What your options are

Option What it does When it makes sense
Turn off the ad blocker Removes the detection, so the site can serve content as intended You want the page to work normally and don't mind ads
Use "Learn More About Ad Blockers" Opens explanatory information about ad blockers You want to understand what was detected before deciding
Use "Close" Dismisses the notice You want it off your screen, though the underlying detection may remain
Leave the ad blocker on Keeps your current setup You accept that the page content may not display properly

The page itself does not state that closing the notice permanently restores access, so treat "Close" as dismissing the message rather than resolving the detection.

Getting past the splash page

The splash page also offers a way forward: a "Continue to Home" control and a "Skip Permanently" option, alongside the ad blocker notice. If your goal is simply to reach the main athletics site rather than the season tickets splash, use "Continue to Home." If you don't want to see this splash again, "Skip Permanently" is the relevant choice.

A reasonable order of operations:

  1. Read the notice to confirm it's the ad blocker message and not a login or ticket error.
  2. Decide whether you're willing to disable your ad blocker for this site.
  3. If yes, disable it and reload; if no, use "Continue to Home" or "Skip Permanently" to move on.
  4. If the notice reappears, the detection is still active — the "Close" button alone won't change that.

Common sticking points

  • The notice returns after closing. Closing hides the message; it doesn't stop the site from detecting the blocker. Disabling the blocker is what changes the detection.
  • You can't find a menu or ticket options. The splash page is a gateway, not the ticket store. Use "Continue to Home" to reach the main athletics site.
  • You're not sure what was detected. The "Learn More About Ad Blockers" link exists for exactly that question.
  • You don't want to disable anything. The page's own framing is a request, not a hard requirement stated in the text — but it does warn that blocking ads hinders content delivery, so expect a degraded experience if you keep it on.
