That's extremely short sighted.

The impact of the Jags on the city of Jacksonville extends beyond the 9 games that they play at home.  It impacts the economy, local sports talk radio, and many other aspects around North Florida.

When I moved down here in 1993, Jacksonville was compared to Birmingham and Charleston.  Both of those cities are still lackluster dumps whereas Jacksonville has progressed significantly and the Jaguars are a key factors of our revitalized city.

Charleston still has it's issues, but it's on the way up, actually.  Their tourist district and downtown are thriving - with real estate figures rivaling many major cities. And the Citadel campus and curriculum are both expanding through hundreds of millions of dollars in private donations.

To your point, the Jags bring a lot to Jax and losing them would be very bad for a downtown revitalization that has  only just begun to finally take a foothold and grow.
