Are the Jacksonville Jaguars next in line for relocation to London?


Quote:The Jags weren't available in the correct time frame for LA thanks to Weaver, so that wasn't a realistic option. We didn't have the same stadium issues that Chargers and Oakland had or the connection the Rams had.


As I have said repeatedly, we will not know how serious the Jags/Khan are committed to Jacksonville until someone tries to 'steal' our London home games by moving there. If Khan starts buying huge parcels of land in London, then we need to be very suspicious. I don't believe any team will go before 2025 anyway.


The easiest way to prevent the Jags leaving is to build a new stadium, or extensive renovations to Khans liking. We need to get it done in the next 5-10 years or we will actually be at risk.


Ill be honest with you buying huge parcels of land in london just isnt feasible. The easiest way is to twin with an existing stadium. There are tonnes of stadiums for football clubs that would listen to a deal to take a slice of the nfl cake for 8 sundays a year not to mention twickenham for rugby.


Truth be told if the jags were too do a stadium deal i would expect them to do it with the olympic stadium or twickenham .


Nfl organisers have used wembley for years but there are some complaints due to the small amount of space around wembley for tailgates etc (hence the split with twickenham this year)


The olympic stadium doesnt have that problem and twickenham though slightly smaller does have car parks all around the stadium itself that could be used accordingly with limited rennovation


I honestly think finding a home would be the easiest part. Filling it and getting players to play in it. Different story
