It's large footprint makes it ideal for renovation rather than replacement, kind of similar as to what they did with the Gator Bowl in 1994 (though you could argue that was essentially a replacement). What The Bank needs most of all right now is a roof, 1PM starts used to be a great advantage to the team but having 65k fans baking in the September Florida heat simply isn't sustainable anymore.

Quote: Lamping and Jaguars owner Shad Khan’s desire to shield fans from the heat and sun at the stadium is well known. That issue was raised in a January panel discussion hosted by Northbank and Southbank residents group The Downtown Dwellers.

[He reiterated Monday that the east side of the stadium is particularly vulnerable to the sun.

At least they are aware. The question is who will pay for it?

I think the quickest and probably most cost-effective way of dealing with the sun would be to have a large blimp positioned to shade the stands. It would only need to be there for day games, could move to adjust the shade as the sun moved, and may find an additional revenue stream at other times to defray the cost.
