Gainesville has a timeline to do their own renovations and Jacksonville isn’t included.

Can you provide a link to this timeline?  I haven't seen one.  Have they even hired an architect yet?

I've also seen no mention of the Gators moving their games to a different stadium.  If renovations are being done during the off-season, I don't see how that would impact the Jaguars playing there.  If anything, a stadium renovation could be a plus.  If some of those renovations can be done timely, it benefits the Jaguars.  It's also a common interest between both sides which might result in synergy.  Perhaps the city of Jacksonville or the Jaguars loans UF some money in order to fast track renovations, etc.
