Quote:Stadiums ARE important. But what makes them important to the owners is their ability to generate revenue.. The most important part of a world class stadium is having the potential for higher ticket prices along with premium seats and boxes. Jacksonville struggles in those areas now. We have lower ticket prices and half empty sky boxes and less demand for premium seating. This is not a secret or a slight on the city.. We see the team playing in London for extra revenue and many dismiss it as a problem. It is a problem. It means something just like those tarps and half empty glass boxes mean something. It means Khan is not getting the revenue return he wants from the Jacksonville market.

 

As far as setting a precedent on breaking a lease, these owners do not care. 

We have time, there is no rush by Khan to move the team next year or the year thereafter. But it is not paranoia to recognize early warning signs like being a small television market plus having difficulty with corporate commitments to the Boxes, along with low ticket prices overall. You can have the nicest stadium in America, if the sky boxes are not full it is for naught.
