Quote:Does anyone know what type of annual financial impact the Jaguars have on Jacksonville? I've searched, but can't find any numbers. Some of my doucher friends think Jacksonville would be better off without the Jaguars. Of course, I think they're crazy, but would love to be able to supply some facts to back up my side of the argument.


For one, I think EverBank would become a delapitated eyesore without regular events taking place in her. My friends theorize there would be enough outside events to keep it running.


We are employed by our local government, and I always hear, "If the city wasn't paying the Jaguars all of that money, they wouldn't have to take so much from us!" I try to tell them the Jaguars are not taking anything from us. There are different priorities and revenue streams from which certain monies are derived.


Maybe I'm wrong, but I just can't see the city being better off without one of the 32 NFL teams in the entire world.
 

I hope your friends are not pursuing an academic career in economics or pursuing a future in the finance industry.

 

At one point in time Jacksonville was compared to Charleston,SC & Birmingham, AL.
