Stadium Deal and Public Funding
The Jaguars play at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, and the team has pursued a major renovation plan that involves a mix of private capital and public funding from the city and county. The proposed stadium project includes upgrades to seating, amenities, and technology infrastructure, with the goal of improving the fan experience and increasing non-game-day revenue. The city council has reviewed the financing structure, which typically includes a combination of hotel taxes, tourism development taxes, and potential naming-rights agreements.
Public financing for NFL stadiums is a recurring topic in municipal budgeting, and the Jaguars’ renovation plan has been analyzed by local government officials and business journals. The deal structure aims to limit direct taxpayer exposure while leveraging private investment from the Khan ownership group and partners.
