City releases detailed breakdown of stadium renovation agreement with Jaguars

Documents were made public on Thursday that spell out in writing how the city could spend $775 million on a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars to help renovate EverBank Field and turn it into the “Stadium of the Future.”

I have been a resident of Jax for 43 years. The city was fighting like crazy before and after I arrived to get a NFL team. We got one in 1995 and it has been a great investment for the city. There are 32 NFL teams with some cities having more than one team. If Jax does not upgrade the 30 year old stadium there are a number of cities that will be fighting to bring the Jaguars to their city. I would hate to see the St. Louis Jaguars or San Diego Jaguars playing in the future. Shalom

I live in St Louis. You Duval Jax people have no idea how many problems and lawsuits came out of the Rams leaving for LA. It’s not as simple as you think.. there not leaving Jax. So chill Out. And that’s coming from someone who is from a city that lost an NFL team. we have an XFL team called the battle hawks now and it’s a hit and has a big fan base here. We are all KC Cheifs fans anyways here.

And I use to live in Jax and worked at the stadium for Delaware north.. the stadium is nasty🤢🤮

@@77D777 I'm not worried that they will leave. I think St. Louis got screwed when the team abandoned the fans and city.

@@politicsuncensored5617 it was the owner Stan Kroenke that took the team to LA. He never wanted to keep them here. The city sued him and got a ton of money outta it. You think the Jags stadium is rough you should see the dome where the rams play 😂 it’s ugly.

So that dude wants to push back on making the city better? Makes sense.

Yeah I knew they were gonna come to an agreement because you know people always been saying it’s hot inside the stadium NOT 100% all people agreed to this but yet, it’s needing some upgrading.

Kinda silly up voting your own comment. Shalom

I live in Jacksonville. I've been to plenty of jaguars games and other sporting events that happened at the stadium. Yes it is very hot. Sitting in the heat at the stadium is brutal

Seems silly to build these with tax payer money.

[@slijackson353]

They already can't afford them houses around the stadium now y'all going to rebuild them
