I doubt the team has any economic impact on Baker County.  And the impact on Clay would be pretty small.  Visiting fans who don't stay in Duval likely stay in Nassau or St Johns, not Clay or Baker.

We all benefit from the Jaguars staying in town.  Business growth and home prices increased significantly since the Jags moved to town, so most of the residents in the surrounding counties are impacted by having an NFL team in Jacksonville.   I'd also think that a large part of our fanbase is from Baker & Clay counties.   Without the Jags, we revert back to being Birmingham or Charleston.

Given the above, let's revise to reflect Baker 5%, Clay 10%, Nassau 15%, St. Johns 20%, Duval 50%
