However, trying to get other counties in the metro area to pay via taxes is going to be roughly equivalent to getting Mexico to pay for the wall.

These are just ball park figures based on other recent stadium reno's and builds, but it seems there's about a 400 mil gap between starting fresh and keeping the old bones. for a massive overhaul + roof

(Renov. = 8-900mil. - new build - 1.2-.1.3 billion)

Those look like good figures to me for an average stadium.  I do not think the Kahn or the Jags want anything average.  They have a "vision" for the entire neighborhood.  History has shown me our owner does nothing halfway.  He wanted the hotel to capture a good bit of the hotel/restaurant revenue of out of towners attending the game for the Jags which will be a net loss for the rest of the business owners in the city.  I am expecting other businesses are in their plan. Just waiting to see if I am correct rather than spread rumors.
