Quote:To me the impact of the Jaguars should be measured as an entertainment entity, not as a financial contributor. Statistics can be used to argue a positive or negative net gain. I suspect those who benefit most financially are the people who tend to always benefit financially.

 

I see the Jaguars as something that enhances our quality of life, as an entertainment venue that is enjoyable and fun. A city probably doesn't greatly benefit financially by having a symphony or art museum, but by having them we all benefit.

 

Sure I could live in Palatka and not have the above options. But by having the Jaguars Jacksonville becomes a more desirable city in which to live.
