Definitely. The amphitheater/covered field will be next.

 

I am guessing at some point in the next couple years that the rest of the seats in the stadium will be replaced as well.

 

Khan has said he wants everything to be first rate and he has been a man of his word at this point.

 

Interesting discussion I caught on the Metro Jacksonville forum mentioning Khan potentially taking over the Metro Park site:

 

Spring, 2017 is the target date for completion of the south end zone project.  It will be open for plenty of events before it’s ever used as an covered practice field.
 
Once that’s done, Khan has plans for the Shipyards project, probably starting a little east of the actual shipyard property with a luxury hotel, a walk-bridge to the stadium, public spaces, some retail, a spot for the USS Adams and, maybe, even docking space for Shad’s mega yacht “Kismet.”
