That would be going into a new stadium which they need seat licenses purchased and fans buying tickets with fans having little hope 

None of that would be happening in your forecast

If it is indeed going to be Orlando, many locals there will be more likely to take in a home NFL game whether they are a fan of the Jaguars or not than they would to travel 2+ hours to Jacksonville and 2+ hours home regardless of coach or front office.  Also, it's Disney.  Many more fans of the opposition will likely travel to see their team while incorporating a family vacation out of it.  The Jags are only going to rely on a fraction of the Jax market fans traveling and even if all of the above assumptions fail, it's still infinitely less embarrassing to play in a relatively empty temporary home stadium on the outskirts of the home market than it is to do so in your own market.  It may provide some cover in the mind of Shad given these considerations if he is indeed committed to continuity and that the blame for this season's failures were significantly influenced by circumstance instead of a lack of leadership and/or personnel issues is all.  I'm not personally forecasting anyone being retained.  I would put odds on either Pederson or Baalke being retained at less than 10% 

Also, it would be entirely #becauseJaguars for them to have the best season imaginable that year they play outside of Jacksonville.

If we get the right head coach and can upgrade our interior O-Line...  I could see this happening.

Orlando is only about 2 hours drive from Duval.  Depending on the ticket prices, I wouldn't mind making that drive a few times.  Not in September or October, Orlando is even hotter than Jax is!  But if the team is looking good, I'd make a few trips to watch us play.  Not if we still have Pederson and Baalke, but if we get a good HC?  [BLEEP] man, this team could be in the playoffs next year.  (Can't believe I'm even saying this based on how down I was yesterday.  I guess I just needed a good night's sleep)
