I've said this before, I'll say it again.


Teams don't move because of market size - or even attendance. Always, without exception, it comes down to the stadium. Charger fans knew that. For over a decade their owner wanted a new stadium, and justifiably so. If you want your team to stay, you have to pay. Ask Minnesota. Or Indianapolis. We can argue all day about using taxpayer money, but other cities seem to be fine with it, since they're ponying up the money.


Jacksonville and Khan have a good partnership. For the most part, the city and the Jaguars have invested 50-50 in stadium upgrades, and there have been many. The latest, the new amplitheatre, will be a new revenue stream for the Jaguars.


For the reason stated above, if the Jags were to break their lease and move, it would set a terrible precedent. Teams NEVER break their lease. If the Jags were to do so, than ANY owner could. And why would a city council in another NFL city commit billions of dollars if they have no guarantee that the team would stay?


The media continuously pounds the drum that Jacksonville is not a viable NFL city. Horse droppings. Jax averaged almost 62k for a team that won ONE game in Jax last year. They've continuously averaged over 60k fans in the sorry Gus Bradley era. The Jags haven't had a winning season since George W. Bush was president. How many other fan bases would offer such support the same in similar circumstances?


There was a column in the San Diego paper that suggested the city leaders get on the phone and get Kahn to move there. I wanted to reply and tell them they were nuts, but I don't want to add to their pain.
