What are some of the pros and cons for the Jaguars of staying in town and then playing games out of Jacksonville? We look at some of those here.
GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA - SEPTEMBER 28: A General View of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium during the third quarter of the Towson Tigers Versus the Florida Gators on September 28, 2019 in Gainesville, Florida. – Stadium of the future talk, lots of it, has dominated the headlines and questions of fans since it was announced last week.
Another in-town option is playing games at TIAA Bank Field while it is under construction, something that team president Mark Lamping said is one of the options on the table. All three of these local options would keep the Jaguars in Jacksonville during construction.Cost, both to get those brought up to NFL standards then the routine maintenance costs of keeping them once the team moves out.
Stretching out the renovation over four years keeps the Jaguars in their stadium during construction, again, at an even greater cost. Lamping said that a four-year plan would keep the Jaguars in town but at an increased cost of roughly $190 million. The city would largely be responsible for those costs.
Camping World Stadium in Orlando is 142 miles from Downtown. It doesn’t have a current tenant like Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The field would be in relatively good shape for home games.
