I think this is a very important reason as to why this project needs to move forward:

Quote:Curry, who submitted the plan to the council Wednesday, said the project would be a “solid” improvement to the stadium and the city as it negotiates a new contract to keep the Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville.

Considering the revenue generated during the week of Florida/Georgia this project is a much needed investment. If the game moves to Atlanta or anywhere else that would be a huge blow to the city's pockets. Last year, this game alone had a 33 million dollar impact to the city.
