Jacksonville taxpayers could be on the hook for more than $5 million in maintenance projects at TIAA Bank Field - A facility that could be largely torn down as part of a stadium renovation that is currently being negotiated.
Floor refinishing, ceiling tile replacement, new security cameras, irrigation, waterproofing and A/C and concrete repairs -- Those are just a few of the maintenance and improvement projects Jacksonville taxpayers are being asked to pay for at TIAA Bank Field this year.The 26 maintenance requests totaling $5.2 million were reviewed by the city council Finance Committee Thursday and were met with reservations from some members.
Councilmembers expressed concerns about spending taxpayer dollars on maintenance projects for a building that could be completely redesigned in the near future. But Mike Kenny with ASM Global, the company contracted to manage the stadium, argued the projects are necessary.Kenny noted if not for the likelihood of a stadium renovation, the maintenance request would be closer to $30 million.
