Jacksonville, you're on deck...

Bills get their new stadium. I guess Shad's going to come around soon asking for money for a new or seriously renovated stadium.

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

yes.

Lamping made it crystal clear in his speech at last year's "state of the franchise" media day.
(or whatever they are calling it lately)

They want ticket prices to increase and they want a stadium that rivals the better versions around the league.
Considering our ticket prices are rock bottom and our stadium is old as dirt, they aren't in any way wrong to want to get out of the cellar and into a slightly more respectable position as an NFL franchise.

It's just going to be REALLY, REALLY hard to pull it off without wins to sway public favor on spending.
Of course they know this as well and hiring a SB winning coach and spending 170 million + in free agency is certainly more of a "swing for the fences" attempt at fixing that issue than they've taken in some time.

Curiously, my ticket price went down this season, but I'm pretty sure I'll never see that happen again.

The only way to state our case for a new 1 is simply to start being better and improving

They've got to win consistently to sell it since a stadium finance referendum will need approval from the voters. Right now, there's no way that would pass. If we were in a similar position to the Bills on the field then it would be more likely although nowhere near a certainty. The next few years will be interesting.

I'd warned this day would come years ago.

We can't blow this.  Renovate the stadium and make it a top facility.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

This is a tough economic climate for a multi-billionaire to be asking for taxpayer money, especially given the team's performance over the last couple years.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

Note that this passed only once they were winning again.

Shad's still got that checkbox open on his "To Do" list. We're heading in the right direction, but there's still work to be done.

We had 9 homers last season, this year we probably only get 8. I could see that as part of the cause of the lower price.
