Never understood why the Jags didn't try and tap into the Orlando market more.
They could easily hold some training camp practices down there or play a preseason game against Tampa or Miami in the Citrus Bowl. From a business standpoint, now is probably a good time to drum up interest there especially with Bortles as our QB.

Suddenly Bianchi want the Jags to play in Orlando?
Even though I live down here, I hope the Jags say NO. Maybe for a preseason game but that's it.
Not a preseason home game.
Maybe against Tampa as a visitor.
And screw Bianchi.
Maybe the Jags should play all their home games in different cities.
It really doesn't make sense for us to play in Orlando since we are already playing one home game in London. Wouldn't mind playing Tampa or Miami in Orlando but wouldn't play a home game, only away.
Playing our preseason game against Tampa and holding the joins training camps in Orlando would be fine.

A two (or more) year deal where the Jags and Bucs trade off "losing" home preseason games?
Give them the second preseason game! Save me some money watching that garbage.
Could be a cool "Battle for Florida" type game, but the Bucs would have to give up a home game.
I really thought that the Buccs Jaguars preseason game this year was going to be announced for Orlando with there being a delay in announcing the date and time but obviously that didn't happen
Just reading the name Bianchi makes me feel sick.

Teams don't like to give up preseason home games because they don't share that revenue with the league the way they do with regular season games.
Doesn't the stadium lease specify that no additional home games can be moved?
The Pro Bowl, lol. A free vacation to Orlando sounds waaaay better than Hawaii.
I doubt they host any regular season games unless Bucs or Dolphins play there. Much different from NFL giantess NFL games in Orlando next year. I'm sure Orlando wants in but I doubt they get in.
Screw Bianchi, all he ever did was bash this team here at the TU and now in Orlando. I am not for giving up another home game. Maybe a preseason one but definitely not regular season.

That would be kinda cool. Totally meaningless game, but I might go if it was that close to home.
I don't think it is certain just yet. Hawaii still holds some sort of right to it for next year. It will all boil down to money and probably player preference. I think it's safe to say they'd rather the trip to Hawaii then to Orlando.
