Please explain to me how the Jags have been "losing money?"  That's what you posted to earn my disrespect.

Sorry i saw that on this forum. 3 years straight, losing money? Did i misread? I am an ignorant tack fan so maybe my sister didnt raise me right.

The lease on the stadium can be broken at no cost if the Jaguars can show a loss for three consecutive years. It became a talking point before and after Khan bought the team because the cost to break the lease was substantial enough to make relocation very, very expensive. It was also a bit of a red herring because the NFL would never allow a team to open its books to the public like that.

As for actual profitability; when Khan bought the team it was essentially breaking even. With the improvement in the stadium and now the results on the field the team is profitable on its own but the London game adds a massive amount of revenue to that because of the deal Khan has with the league regarding the revenue from the game. Other teams get compensated by the league for losing a home game, the Jaguars outright keep all of the revenue for the London game.
