Quote:

“Shad Khan’s been very clear,” Lamping said regarding the franchise’s owner, in an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “The most important thing he wants to do is bring a Super Bowl to Duval County, and obviously we have a lot of work to do on that front. But the other thing he wants to do is ensure that there’s NFL football in Northeast Florida for many generations to come.”

Lamping explained the mixed-use development around the team’s stadium, a project he described as “Patriot Place on steroids.” He added that the effort is “changing the feel and energy of downtown Jacksonville, and as downtown Jacksonville goes, so will the Jaguars.”

Later in the interview, Lamping was clear: Khan is “committed to keeping the team in Northeast Florida.” Still, that doesn’t change the fact that the Jaguars will be playing one or more games in London, indefinitely.

“London supplements what we’re doing in Jacksonville,” Lamping said. “It certainly doesn’t replace it.”

If you guys haven’t already, make sure your voices are heard by signing up for the Duval Coalition petition. Khan and crew say they have our best interests at hearts but they have not taken the time to actually listen to us fans. WE DONT WANT MORE GAMES IN LONDON. PERIOD. Use the same energy that’s being used to invest in London redirected towards building a consistent winning team on the field and watch the city turn out for the Jags every Sunday.

Kahn is full of horse fertilizer and Lamping is just a puppet.  Nobody who's committed to winning ever voluntarily gives up home field advantage, which is exactly what playing in London does.  To suggest that revitalizing the downtown area will somehow produce a better football team is absurd and only illustrates how embarrassingly little ownership knows about the game.
