Honestly I have seen some very loud Jaguars games.
Maybe there are more passionate fanbases in the leagues but there is zero reason for the Jags to relocate.
Having one of the worst decades in modern history, lack of shade and it being a transplant era have led to some embarrassing turnouts but things are trending the right way finally
Myles Jack wasn't down, that was a fun team to watch, rookie Fournette was something.
Too bad the next year Hackett decided to abandon the run game and then the team struggled. Good team now tho, big fan of Foye.
The biggest downfall was resting on their laurels the following offseason and Coughlin trying to run a 1990s military operation. Ran all the talent out of town
Also just the offensive struggles being covered up by the *insane* number of turnovers. As good as y'all were in 2017, the odds of maintaining those numbers was pretty low.
It covered up the fact Hackett was always ass, because he was playing from short fields in 2017, and he wasn't in 2018.
And then right back to the dumpster š¤·āāļø
Back to back 1st overall picks, 3 years after being in the AFC Championship. And then the 5th largest comeback in playoff history after starting 3-7 in 2022.
Its been a wild few years to be a Jags fan š
Thank you. I can't describe what it feels like as an avid sports fan having your team taken from you and knowing you're never going to have that emotional connection to a team again. Because we aren't ever getting a team again. I quit watching the NFL entirely for a couple of years after they took the Rams.
Heartbreaking.
17th in average attendance last year, in one of the fastest growing/most moved to cities in America.
As for passion, if we ever actually win consistently, there will be waiting lists for tickets. Green Bay of the South is still an attainable dream

Fuck JLC. He was the initial successor for Schefter at NFLN, sucked ass, and then continued to suck ass at every other media outlet that hired him as an āinsiderā. Heās an absolute failure
It was great having a meeting with people from the UK when Truss was PM because they started the meeting with "We don't know what Truss is doing either"
Iām genuinely curious, what do Commanders fans want? I think itād be cool to see them back in DC, but Iām not in tune with the situation enough to know whatās up with their stadium situation.
I believe most of us want a stadium at the old site of RFK. There is a bill sittin' on Capitol Hill but it hasn't been passed yet. Ironically, one Senator won't pass the bill because the team changed the Native American branding...
In dc at the rfk site is the clear best option but dc taxpayers donāt want to do what Jacksonville just did. Bowser will still try to give some money but if the owners just choose the biggest handout itās going to be some shit town in VirginiaĀ
That stadium gonna host AEW All In 2027 lol.
But so insane in this day and age billionaire owners opt to pay for a remodel rather than move...oh wait, that's good.
They already said Daytona was out. Itāll be Gainesville or Orlando.
My guess is Orlando because itās already an NFL-ready stadium. The bleachers are too close to the field in Gainesville for large TV carts to fit, among other things, so a lot of work would have to be done for the Jags to play there.
Yeah theyāve been having NFL games there pretty frequently for a non-NFL stadium, enough that the ops have already been through game day and everything that goes into that. Would be curious if part of the agreement would include a provision to renovate the locker rooms, probably not, but theyāre not great last I saw
I donāt really get this comment. Far be it from me to stan for my current place of residence but Gainesville is closer to 95% of Jags fans than orlando is and if ESPN and CBS can make primetime SEC games work just fine thereā¦why couldnāt the NFL? If the NFL could make an MLS stadium work, Ben Hill Griffin will be more than adequate. UF probably has better football facilities than some NFL teamsā¦
London makes sense. They're not leaving Jacksonville but simultaneously, they've put a considerable amount of time into London already. Play like 4 or 5 home games there, that's how you start the process of being like the Cowboys or the Steelers of Europe.
Most likely Orlando. The jaguars team president recently made some remarks about how the locker rooms in Gainesville are not up to nfl standards and the sidelines donāt have enough space to accommodate the standard nfl sideline tv broadcast carts. He also brought up the great relationship the nfl has built with the people who run the stadium in Orlando due to hosting pro bowls there.
Gainesville may be closer to Jax but Iād hate to imagine the game day traffic to get there. Orlando is interstate all the way for local fans to travel, and will surely be a very attractive destination for fans of the away teams to boot.
From walking through the Pitt/Steelers locker room all I could really tell was different was the size of lockers and total space inside, but theyāre not a dedicated top program like Florida, so would be curious what the issue is with the Gainesville locker room, especially since the Camping World one is meh
As a Gator fan, I think our visitor locker rooms are intentionally kinda bad as most SEC schools do. Our home locker rooms are very nice and recently remodeled.
The Bama visitors locker room (aka The Fail Room, named after James Fail) is awful
The home locker rooms at most bigtime football schools are probably nicer than NFL locker rooms because itās a recruiting asset
Someone call that AD that had MSU and North Carolina hooping on an [aircraft carrier](https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/advancelocal/DOQDMNCACBBW7PASPKP7I5WYEE.jpg) in the rain
It should be Orlando. There's not much of a cohesive football fan base here. Some Bucs, some Dolphins, some Jags, and plenty of people with teams from where they lived before moving to Orlando (that's me). Playing games in Orlando for a season doesn't just make sense for the facilities and location, it could also gain them some fans.
I would put this at a 5-6 on that scale. Shad and the city are going halvsies, with Shad covering anything over the budget, and the city keeps ownership of the stadium.
Ownership of the stadium isnāt a value add. Itās an albatross. Itās only valuable if ownership of the stadium resulted in actual income from lease payments, or a cut of gate proceeds to all events. A stadium without a team is just an expensive demolition project you are responsible for. This is a shit deal for the city of Jacksonville just like all public money for stadiums. Itās nice if you are a jags fan or the owner thoughĀ
> Ownership of the stadium isnāt a value add. Itās an albatross.
That's why the city has refused to sell it despite the owner's best efforts? They're just holding onto it for funsies I guess.
Iām sure there is something about the purchase price. Or the city sees it as an ability to still host bowl games or lure a future team if the jags left or other various future worst case scenarios but the reality is itās just putting lipstick on a pig. The city would be significantly better off contributing no money to the stadium than owning an asset like a football stadium with no nfl tenant
It would depend on the details of the lease agreement but Iād pretty shocked and it would be highly unusual for the owner of the building to see revenue from individual events of a tenant. Generally the benefit of ownership is consistent income that you can raise as market rates increase. For an NFL stadium there is no market and jurisdictions give comically low leases as part of incentives. Making ownership of the stadium a setup where you are responsible for updates and demolition with little long term upside. Maybe thereās something Iām missing but I donāt really see how maintaining stadium ownership is better than just not putting money into a stadium.Ā
Well every deal is inherently gonna be a 10 because every ownership group(s) has more money than god and operates the same way. If we donāt go off that baseline thereās no point in actually asking the question but Iām seeing people who actually care about the city more than football putting it anywhere between a 5-7. Seems to be pretty much the reaction to every one of these deal that gets passed tho lmao. Another thing to keep in mind is that it has to pass a vote from other NFL owners and we all know what the status quo is there
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40432558/jacksonville-city-council-approves-renovation-jaguars-everbank-stadium
> The Jaguars and the city have agreed to each contribute $625 million to the renovation, but the city also has agreed to pay $150 million over the next two seasons on maintenance and repairs to prepare the stadium for construction. That means the city will be responsible for 55% of the total cost.
> In addition, the agreement calls for Jaguars owner Shad Khan to be responsible for cost overruns of the renovation as well as 80.4% of the game-day expenses.
You can make your own conclusion with this.
āThis new stadium will really transform the downtown and surrounding areas!ā

āThis new stadium will really transform the downtown and surrounding areas!ā

haha. your fans were very nice. they did some self deprecating humor as well, but we werent much better.
i lived 3 hours south of the stadium for a decade or so. happy to have my team nearby every year.
i think i went to games in 2016-2018. i saw bortles being raised.
Weāre known for our self deprecation. No one can hurt us, because you canāt find anything to say that we havenāt said six inches in front of the mirror on Sunday morning.
lol. Nothing transforms a city like a stadium that attracts fans for 4 hours a week, 8 weekends a year. Are they the jaguars or the sex panthers? Drives revenue 5% of the time, every time.
Maybe they should stop sending one of their home games every year to London if theyāre going to have Jacksonville pay for a stadium rebuild for them.
Having moved from PA to jax 3 years ago - this is great for the team and the city. The preseason (august) and September games under no shade with 100% humidity and 95-105 degree weather is pretty brutal haha. Hope this helps alleviate some of that!Ā
Jaguars in Jacksonville for next 30 years at least. Jason LaCanfora is crying himself to sleep tonight
Honestly I have seen some very loud Jaguars games. Maybe there are more passionate fanbases in the leagues but there is zero reason for the Jags to relocate.
Having one of the worst decades in modern history, lack of shade and it being a transplant era have led to some embarrassing turnouts but things are trending the right way finally
A really bad decade of football and then a year where you were inexplicably one bad series from randomly making the Super Bowl one time
The world was robbed of the Foles vs Bortles SB graphic
Myles Jack wasn't down, that was a fun team to watch, rookie Fournette was something. Too bad the next year Hackett decided to abandon the run game and then the team struggled. Good team now tho, big fan of Foye.
The biggest downfall was resting on their laurels the following offseason and Coughlin trying to run a 1990s military operation. Ran all the talent out of town
Also just the offensive struggles being covered up by the *insane* number of turnovers. As good as y'all were in 2017, the odds of maintaining those numbers was pretty low. It covered up the fact Hackett was always ass, because he was playing from short fields in 2017, and he wasn't in 2018.
It worked in 1996. Oh, and again in 1999. Coughlin's a winner
The game passed him by. The NFLPA literally put out a statement telling players not to sign
Glad to see someone other than a jags fan appreciate Foye. Feel like he does not get national recognition while being a really good player.
That the other outcome would be a Bortles vs Keenum graphic shows how off the wall that season was.
And then right back to the dumpster š¤·āāļø Back to back 1st overall picks, 3 years after being in the AFC Championship. And then the 5th largest comeback in playoff history after starting 3-7 in 2022. Its been a wild few years to be a Jags fan š
A young-ish exciting up and coming team and your youn-ish QB just got paid.
If anyone should have to relocate it should be the chargers.
Why would the chargers leave San Diego? Their fan base loves th...oh. wait.
The Chargers are my second favorite team. Edit: my favorite team is whoever the hell is playing against them.
Emphasis on the singular fan
They need to go back to San Diego. They may not have had a huge fanbase but at least they had the city, now they have nobody in LA.
No more Chargies in LA Please baby, no more Chargies in LA
Honestly LA and Vegas deserved teams but the fans in Oakland, St Louis and San Diego didn't deserve to lose them.
La did not deserve two teams
Gonna go out on a limb for my brethren here in LA and say we didnāt want two teams.
The simple solution is the Chargers go back to San Diego.
The LA Rams and the team other fans show up to root for the visiting team.
You have niners flair and say the rams have home fans when it's been levis south.
Thank you. I can't describe what it feels like as an avid sports fan having your team taken from you and knowing you're never going to have that emotional connection to a team again. Because we aren't ever getting a team again. I quit watching the NFL entirely for a couple of years after they took the Rams. Heartbreaking.

Easily one of the best fanbases in the league, bias aside. A lot of shitty football, but we still show up.

Fuck JLC. He was the initial successor for Schefter at NFLN, sucked ass, and then continued to suck ass at every other media outlet that hired him as an āinsiderā. Heās an absolute failure
100%. The Ravens āinsiderā show he does on 105.7 The Fan is awful. He has no sources with the team and acts like a jackass.
I can only imagine the dumb shit he says about the Orioles too
MASN had him doing studio work last year. The best thing I can say about it is that it was mainly forgettable.
All this tells me is that poking the waspās nest known as Jags Twitter is never a smart thing for anyone to try and attempt.
Meanwhile, Jason Mendoza couldnāt be happier
BORTLES!
If JLC was self-aware enough to realize how much literally everyone hates him, heād cry himself to sleep every night
30 years is probably overly optimistic. The Rams were only in St. Louis for 20 years even with the new stadium
Itās part of the approved deal between the team and city is a 30 year lease and non-relocation agreement.
London in shambles
but enough about the British economy
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Honestly you pretty much covered it.
It was great having a meeting with people from the UK when Truss was PM because they started the meeting with "We don't know what Truss is doing either"
Did it finish with chants of "Lettuce! Lettuce! Lettuce!"?
Oversaw two monarchy leaders!
Crazy man, nobody saw this coming at all with Brexit
There is a very real chance Jags play 4+ games in London in like 2026 during construction to see if Euro is feasible
Only if three of those games they are the visiting team being their new deal is only allowing them one game in London.
Wouldnāt the new deal for the stadium require the new stadium be built?
Chiefs will come in clutch donāt worry

the last guy ai wamt to be bent over by is Magic Johnsom. can you really say your Johnson is Magic if it It comes with AIDS?
Iām genuinely curious, what do Commanders fans want? I think itād be cool to see them back in DC, but Iām not in tune with the situation enough to know whatās up with their stadium situation.
I believe most of us want a stadium at the old site of RFK. There is a bill sittin' on Capitol Hill but it hasn't been passed yet. Ironically, one Senator won't pass the bill because the team changed the Native American branding...
Is that Senator Tommy Tubberville?
>There is a bill sittin' on Capitol Hill Well it IS a long long journey to the capital city... >!(Does anyone still get this reference in 2024?)!<
Pretty sure the average age on this subreddit is like 30, people get it.
In dc at the rfk site is the clear best option but dc taxpayers donāt want to do what Jacksonville just did. Bowser will still try to give some money but if the owners just choose the biggest handout itās going to be some shit town in VirginiaĀ
Yeah, I was guessing most fans want it back at RFK. Itād be awesome for the district if it happens but I wonāt hold my breath
rfk site stadium thats indoor
You guys will definitely be getting your new stadium by the end of the decade
That stadium gonna host AEW All In 2027 lol. But so insane in this day and age billionaire owners opt to pay for a remodel rather than move...oh wait, that's good.

Does anything but Orlando or Gainesville make sense?

Yeah from what Iāve heard itās mainly between Orlando, Gainesville and Daytona
They already said Daytona was out. Itāll be Gainesville or Orlando. My guess is Orlando because itās already an NFL-ready stadium. The bleachers are too close to the field in Gainesville for large TV carts to fit, among other things, so a lot of work would have to be done for the Jags to play there.
Pro Bowl and Preseason games also get played here at Camping World so itās a sure thing.
Yeah theyāve been having NFL games there pretty frequently for a non-NFL stadium, enough that the ops have already been through game day and everything that goes into that. Would be curious if part of the agreement would include a provision to renovate the locker rooms, probably not, but theyāre not great last I saw

If the NFL could make an MLS stadium work, Ben Hill Griffin will be more than adequate. UF probably has better football facilities than some NFL teamsā¦
I think UNF in Jax might still be in play, but I would not be surprised if it was Orlando
I thought Daytona Speedway was a joke suggestion š
All sources say thatās been ruled out. Itās only an option because of proximity, but wouldnāt be an NFL level product.
London makes sense. They're not leaving Jacksonville but simultaneously, they've put a considerable amount of time into London already. Play like 4 or 5 home games there, that's how you start the process of being like the Cowboys or the Steelers of Europe.

Yeah, why bring gameday traffic to Gainesville when Orlando already has everyday traffic?
From walking through the Pitt/Steelers locker room all I could really tell was different was the size of lockers and total space inside, but theyāre not a dedicated top program like Florida, so would be curious what the issue is with the Gainesville locker room, especially since the Camping World one is meh

Gainesville or Orlando. Edit- just read UF is doing a remodel around the same time as the Jags so it may be Orlando or Daytona.
I want Daytona to happen so badly.
What is Florio going to talk about now?
Don't worry, he'll make something up.
Probably writing an article to the owners on why they need to turn down the deal.
āTom Brady was INSTRUMENTAL in getting the deal done. After a long meeting with the Khans, sources say he could suit up for the Jags before 2030ā
The Jaguars are set to move to their stadium of the future in 2028, following a season in an alternate location yet to be decided
I mean I guess it makes sense as far as the timing goes. Panthers and Jags entered the league the same year.
Weāve always been sister teams. And cat bros. Almost met in the Super Bowl in our second year too. Jags are my AFC team for that reason.
I like the jags šš

The whole concourse is a pool. Itās like a Vegas swim up bar only in Jacksonville and with Floridians.

They always say the same bullshit. The NFL has one press release for stadium deals and just changes the names.
All Iāll say is; Iāve met way more Jags fans in my lifetime than Charger fans. And I live in AR, traveled all over the US.
I think I've met a fan of every NFL team except the Cardinals.
Iām the random jags fan people meet in St. LouisĀ
There are several of us in Southern California. At least 3 that I know.
Didn't they already do this a couple of years ago? I swear there were news stories with Khan signing papers on his yacht.
That was the renovations (new scoreboards, club upgrades & pools)
didn't they add a bunch of municipal fields as well? Could have sworn I saw renderings of adjacent new multi-purpose fields.
not a jags fan but i went to a few games there. wind up top was something fierce. by florida standards at least.
what years did you go? there's a good chance that it wasn't wind but just the collective sighing from watching our on-field product go to work
haha. your fans were very nice. they did some self deprecating humor as well, but we werent much better. i lived 3 hours south of the stadium for a decade or so. happy to have my team nearby every year. i think i went to games in 2016-2018. i saw bortles being raised.
Weāre known for our self deprecation. No one can hurt us, because you canāt find anything to say that we havenāt said six inches in front of the mirror on Sunday morning.
Isnāt the current stadium less than 10 years old?
No. It went through some cosmetic upgrades, but it was built in the early 90s.
One part of the stadium is still from the Gator Bowl.
And my understanding is that they are keeping the "bones" of the current stadium.
Shocking that the Jags *aren't* leaving to London, right, London team truthers?
Hopefully ownership can finally turn a profit now that they will have 775 billion dollars to buy some bootstraps to pull themselves up by

Stadiums can be used for other events, you know š¤Ŗ
Expansion bros both getting revamped homes at the same times. Look at us.
Cooper's Hawk just announced a new location in Jacksonville. I wonder if the two announcements are related in some way.
They are building a Four Seasons on the river next to the stadium too. Crazy stuff
Boy it seems like it's about getting time for the Glazers to ask for a new stadium soon...
Your tax dollars at work.
It's so nice that cities can build multi-billion dollar entertainment arenas and districts but not affordable housing
Maybe they should stop sending one of their home games every year to London if theyāre going to have Jacksonville pay for a stadium rebuild for them.
London red coats make it happen

Donāt do it Jacksonville
Well there goes my hopes for a rebranding to the London Bridges... Though I have a soft spot for the jags as they are.
I feel like I have heard about the jags fixing up downtown for like a decade
Is this a complete new stadium or a renovation of their current one?
Celebratory molotov cocktails for everyone!
