Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan could have taken a chest-thumping victory lap. After all, he bought an NFL franchise in 2012 that was the laughingstock of the league and was preparing to potentially play several home games annually in nearby Orlando. Khan told anyone who would listen that he wanted the team to find success in Jacksonville.

Jacksonville approved a $1.4 billion “stadium of the future” renovation for the Jaguars. On Tuesday, June 26,2024, the proposal passed by a 14-1 vote. It calls for a 55-45% financial split, with each side contributing $625 million to the $1.25 billion build.
The Jaguars would play in front of a reduced capacity in 2026 and then host home games in Gainesville or Orlando the following year. The project became fast-tracked last year after new Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan took office. She spearheaded the city’s side of negotiations.
