Poll: Select response that best describes your position
I just want the Jags to stay in Jax long term. I support any solution that solves that issue.
I don't care if they are the Jax Jags, the London Jags, or relocate to Oklahoma City. I'll fan from afar all the same.
I'd like to see something fair happen for local taxpayers that keeps the team in place post construction.

I hope they have to play in a nearby city for two years so they'll be closer to me
They'll figure it out. Not concerned.

Half a percent tax bump on sales of what?  What is the projected revenue increase?

The team, its footprint and associated jobs are already here.  Are you suggesting the franchise currently generates 100,000 jobs?

They are league average numbers accumulated by a comprehensive report on NFL franchises in American cities. 
(USA Today) 
Yes, 110,000 jobs was the actual average number of jobs generated by a franchise. Obviously, some of those are seasonal. 
I don't know the actual number of jobs generated by the Jags, but I'd rather those jobs not disappear from our market. 

The .5 cent local sales tax thing has been a discussion around stadium proposals in Jax for years and gets tossed around every time this comes up. A local politician initially proposed it years ago. You'd have to ask him about projections.

Well first off until the cost of the stadium or "vision" is made public how to cover that cost is a waste of time.

Here is the link to the USA article. I don't read the 110,000 jobs as an average rather across all the NFL cities. So by simple division, about 3400 jobs here in Jax. The vast majority of which are seasonal.
