– Jacksonville Jaguars President Mark Lamping was asked a hypothetical question Thursday about the possibility of putting the decision to Duval County voters about who should fund $2 billion in renovations to the team’s stadium.
It’s the most straightforward Lamping has been about the fact that if a deal doesn’t get done, or the NFL doesn’t approve it, there is a strong possibility the Jaguars will leave town. Survey respondents were given a choice of outcomes, ranging from no public investment to spending $1 billion of public funds.The researchers said that the results were not surprising: 51% chose the Jaguars to purchase the land and pay for stadium renovations and sports district development with no public investment.
When asked whether they would support the city spending $1 billion if it meant the difference between the Jaguars staying in Jacksonville or moving to another city, 46% said yes and 47% said no. Even among those who oppose spending any public funds on the project, 33% were willing to split the cost when faced with the possibility of losing the team to another city.
