The next mayor of Jacksonville, whether it’s Republican Daniel Davis or Democrat Donna Deegan, is expected to lead negotiations between the city and the Jaguars on stadium renovations and possibly a long-term lease extension.
“During construction, I expect our team to play in Jacksonville as they have for nearly thirty years. Terms of a deal will be decided thoughtfully and responsibly with input from all stakeholders, not at the height of a campaign,” Deegan said Thursday in a statement to News4JAX.
“Best-case scenario, I expect that the renovation will take two years, two seasons. And the team will have to play somewhere else,” he said. “The goal would be to play somewhere in Jacksonville. Those discussions are happening. But two years is the goal.” “The goal is to play those football games in Jacksonville,” Curry said. “I know they care about that.”
The Chargers were forced to play at the 27,000-seat StubHub Center while SoFi Stadium was being built.A roof is something 81% of fans told the team they desperately wanted. Major renovations for TIAA Bank Field aren’t exactly a new topic. The stadium has undergone improvements over the years, including the addition of upgraded club seats and videoboards, adding pools, and updating the South End Zone. Flex Field and Daily’s Place were also added.
