Poll: Select the answer that best describes your position
Whatever it takes, I support it. Spend big, build big, play elsewhere for two years, just get a long term deal done to stay in Jax
I support a rebuild or new build as long as the team doesn't play home games elsewhere during the construction
I would like to see an overhaul in phases so the team can play in TIAA bank stad. throughout the process
Build a new one right next to the old one. Problem solved. I don't care if it's 400 mil more to the taxpayers.
If they play somewhere else for two years, I'm out as a fan.
If taxpayers pay more than 4 or 500 mil on a 900mil to 1.2 billion dollar rebuild - I can't support it.

I voted "I would like to see an overhaul in phases..." but I would have also been happy with "Whatever it takes..."

I find neither difficult to swallow.

Exactly. That's why I wouldn't have an issue with it. It's not enough to move the needle for me. Especially in this current economy where I am getting gouged in more dire areas at the moment. 

Eating a barely noticeable sales tax to keep a team and owner here in my city that provides jobs, entertainment and a potential platform for further development with more job opportunities is a no brainer for me.

I don't think people realize how much an NFL team provides to a local area. It's not just concessions and alcohol sales during gameday. There's parking, there's advertising, there's social media teams, sales teams, equipment teams, boosters, trainers, travel agency, etc.

All of that is encompassed underneath the Jaguar umbrella. Not to mention the local charity stuff and community work these guys get involved in. It's a true privilege having an NFL team. This should not be taken lightly nor for granted. Especially in this market.

That's the tangible stuff, and it's important to point out, but to me, the main reason for having a team is because I want to have a team.  It's a quality of life issue for me.
