Agreed. I’m really concerned about getting funding approved by the voters. It’s going to require a good sales campaign. Reading social media and comments on news stories and opinion polls, it seems early opinions are running at least 2 to 1 against.

If the stadium deal doesn’t get done, the Jags will relocate. If it does, they stay. Pretty simple.

This will be the first big hurdle for Donna Deegan once she takes office. Thankfully, she’s behind it 100%. She’ll have to leverage her notoriety and local hometown girl chops to convince voters for passage. 

I also think it would be helpful if the city had someone accompany Lamping with his town hall meetings to reinforce just how important this deal would be for the future.
