FBC. They hold back downtown. They have since the beginning of Jacksonville.

If people only knew how many potential "night life" businesses the FBC has destroyed from getting a start in downtown Jacksonville, they would be astounded.

Amen.

Given everything that's been invested in the arena, whatever they call the new Wolfson Field and the fairgrounds. I don't think the city would be interested in discussing a stadium outside of its current area. I don't know that Khan would be open to it either considering the investments he's made in the area that would be pretty well wasted by moving everything. If they were to do something that makes sense, I'd say divert business air traffic to JAX, Cecil, even Herlong possibly, tear out Craig Field and replace it with a new stadium complex. Regency Square is also wasting a ton of prime land for a stadium complex, but the price of buying all of that out would be insane. I don't like the idea of St. John's County, though. That's a long haul, and when you consider that most of St. John's County's road grid is two lanes and old, it would take a ton to develop something new there. I think the next Jaguars stadium is very likely to be built in the parking lot of the current one.
