I agree.  Orlando has minimal leverage.  Getting the Jaguar games would be a big economic benefit to Orlando plus great exposure for both the city and the stadium.  If Orlando doesn't get the games, they get nothing.  How much can they really bluff?  Besides, I don't think it will take much arm twisting to have Orlando make renovations as most of those renovations would remain and benefit Orlando going forward.  They are already making renovations without even knowing if the Jaguars will go there.  The Jaguars are the ones with the better leverage because they have the option of Gainesville which is both closer to Jacksonville and has a larger stadium.  The Jaguars will likely play the two cities off each other to get the best deal.  

I do think Khan will ultimately select Orlando in hopes of expanding the fan base, but the idea that they are going to get on their knees and beg Orlando is ridiculous.  If Orlando gets too greedy, they just go to Gainesville.  Orlando knows this, so they'll likely make a very attractive offer.

Guys, this guy is either a troll or someone who is butt hurt they don't have the Jags now.  He also has no idea how things work in real life.  The decision and plan have already been made and will shortly be presented to the owners for approval. One thing for sure if Orlando would like the jags there for one year and the exposure and increased revenue they will upgrade Camping World on their own and say please/thank you to the NFL.  The NFL has 16 un used stadiums all over the country sitting idle. Before they would let a a peanut town like Orlando hold them hostage they would just schedule roving games in those towns. Also these guys are all Billionaires, how much business can they move out of Orlando if they get pissed?
