Your blog link is about building new stadiums. Not really what we are talking about here. Anyways, the Jags don't own the stadium, so the city is getting paid rent if nothing else. I believe the city has some rights to some other accessorials--perhaps parking or a percent of concessions. Less obvious revenue streams is name recognition, ie putting our city on the map. It's an attraction. I know the team is a top 3 reason for why I remain in town. It's different for every city I'm sure. The NFL is not a drag on the economy by any means.
