I wouldn't be so sure about that. By the time Lot J is finished they'll be all out going for a new stadium and if Shad is building a new stadium you can be sure he's going to want it done up to the 9s. 

He's not just gonna want to build a stadium, rather a state of the art facility which can be used every single day and be a strong venue for events.

The problem is, he's not going to get a new stadium anywhere else in the area other than where it stands now.  He's not going to get any kind of support for a complete tear down and rebuild with the product he's putting on the field today here in Jacksonville.  Like I said before, when the time comes, it's going to be built in the same footprint as the old stadium, and it's going to need to be more of a major renovation than a complete tear down and rebuild simply because of the time required to do so.
