*** Official Live State Of the Jaguars Coverage Starts at 10:45 Today***


Quote:Mark and Shahid understand the importance of integrating corporate America into the city of Jacksonville, that's very important for strong economical sustainability. Jacksonville needs to be a city where college grads are looking to move because of corporate opportunities, I live in Minneapolis, MN which has a population of about 400k, much smaller than the 800K in Jacksonville, however the feel of the two cities couldn't be any different. And it's because companies like, Target, Best Buy, 3M, Cargill, Xcel Energy, Ecolab, Valspar etc... are headquartered in this area, those opportunities attract college graduates, which coincides with the plethora of different entertainment options there are in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. That’s why it's so important to develop those shipyards. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the city of Jacksonville is extremely blessed to have such a committed owner on and off the football field, Shahid is singlehandedly turning that city around.


The actual size of the cities between Jax and Minneapolis is kind of irrelevant. Metro Jax is like 1.4 million and Metro Minneapolis is pushing 3.5 million. Larger metropolitan areas typically mean more vibrant cores. More people to spend their money.
