Episode 88: Stadium of the Future Approved / Jaguars Mount Rushmore
Manage episode 427324576 series 3313457
Ever wondered how a $1.4 billion renovation could transform a city's identity? Join us on the Touchdown Jaguars podcast as we unpack the recently approved renovation plan for EverBank Stadium. Hosts Phil Smith and James Johnson share insights on the Jaguars' significant financial commitments, including covering all cost overruns and contributing $100 million to the Community Benefits Agreement. We also experience the excitement of future stadium features, from full seating coverage with a canopy to expanded concourses and new food and beverage points.
We reflect on the broader implications for Jacksonville, including a separate $94 million in funding for community benefits. Despite some imperfections, the deal has relatively favorable terms for taxpayers and the potential to elevate fans' pride in their city. Shad Khan's respect within the ownership circle is highlighted as a crucial factor in navigating these challenges.
What's next for Jacksonville's stadium development? Get ready for a discussion on the transformative potential of this renovation, from attracting major concerts and sports events to spurring broader urban development. We envision EverBank Stadium becoming a landmark akin to SoFi Stadium or Allegiant Stadium, enhancing city pride and identity. Our conversation also includes a passionate debate about the Jacksonville Jaguars' Mount Rushmore, spotlighting legends like Tony Boselli, Fred Taylor, Maurice Jones-Drew, and Jimmy Smith. Tune in for a comprehensive look at the past, present, and future of the Jacksonville Jaguars and their iconic stadium.

James Johnson and Phil Smith bring you the best and most up to date Jacksonville Jaguars news. "Touchdown Jaguars!" is a tribute to the prospective ownership group "Touchdown Jacksonville!" In 1991, the NFL announced plans to add two expansion teams and "Touchdown Jacksonville!" announced its bid for a team, and Jacksonville was ultimately chosen as one of five finalists. In November 1993, the NFL owners voted 26–2 in favor of awarding the 30th franchise to Jacksonville. James and Phil have been fans of the franchise ever since and have had the honor (and sometimes dishonor) of covering the team professionally since 2017. The rest as they say, is history.
