No sign?  How about a global pandemic?  Get back to me in a month about that vibrant travel and tourism industry.

Global pandemic?
Oh please stop... The coronavirus thing is so overplayed overhyped.
Coronavirus (the virus that causes the common cold) is not a pandemic.
My gf is a nurse... and we find this whole coronavirus thing laughable. (not surprisingly people are creating vaccines and getting ready to profit from this already)
It's spread (mostly in China) due to dirty people not washing their hands after taking a [BLEEP].
The # of cases vs the # of people in the world is a sliver of a % and the number of deaths is even smaller.
This isn't as serious as the 2009 H1N1 "pandemic" which turned out to not be that bad either. And more people have died from the flu this year than this 'new' coronavirus.

On topic... let me touch on the original point; Lot J.
Lot J and shipyard projects intend to bring business, jobs, and additional residencies to Jacksonville, hopefully growing the market (more people, more jobs, more money)
Thus increasing the pool of people to sell tickets to.
Hopefully by the time these projects are realized the team is putting a better product on the field. Therefore the demand will be larger than the supply (tickets for games) and they can increase the prices of tickets (and concessions I imagine) to be better revenue for the Jaguars (and thus, the NFL, a revenue sharing league)

The Lot J project is an idea of bringing jobs, businesses, better residencies, and people into the city. That would be good for Jacksonville and the Jaguars.
It'll only work if the businesses that come to Lot J bring the right kind of jobs that people want and only will work if people come to J-Ville. It'll only be beneficial to the Jaguars if Lot J is a success AND the Jaguars put a product on the field people want to see.
