To any rational person who has attended a game and understands the impact this team has in our economy and the overall city in general would say yes.

The biggest and obvious argument against it (“tax payers should not have to pay for something that many in the city do not use”) imo is almost lazy at this point. It’s almost like saying- “Because I do not drive on that road, my tax dollars should not have to be used for its construction.”.  

I’m just happy it’s coming to fruition. Don’t want to be apart of the building because if that is anything like the practice field it will be a complete [BLEEP] show. But I am definitely looking forward to taking my son to games for a long time to come.

Speaking of tax, this should not fall on the burden of Duval County to pick up the tax.  It should be shared between Duval, St. John's, Nassau, Baker, & Clay.   Even if it's prorated where Duval picks up 40% and the other 4 counties pick up 15% each .... or perhaps Duval 40%, St John's 20%, Clay 15%, Nassau 15%, and Baker 10%
