T

he Jacksonville Jaguars’ “Stadium of the Future” took a big step toward becoming a present-day reality June 25 when the Jacksonville City Council finalized a deal to revamp and modernize EverBank Stadium and keep the team in it for the next three decades. Council members voted 14-1 with two abstentions on a $1.45 billion package of legislation that includes funding for the stadium’s makeover, a 30-year lease, a nonrelocation agreement and $56 million in spending on riverfront parks and the stadium-adjacent flex field. Contained in Ordinance 2024-0904, the deal includes $775 million in public funding for the stadium, the most expensive single capital project in the city’s history. SEE STADIUM, PAGE 4
