I like how the Hart Bridge Expressway in the second to last picture is an elevated canal, complete with flooded cars. Why extend an elevated train when you can have elevated boats!

I always liked the "It's a Small World" ride at Disney.  I love how they are incorporating that in the elevated canal idea . . . and the idea that all future cars will be amphibious . . . . . COOL!

I like how many amphibious cars are using the canal.  That's about a full day's volume at one time.

I don't think I've seen anyone mention it yet, but that's (Jags fan) Paul McCartney performing on stage:



(It's taken from a concert in Mexico. Here's the original.)

as noted in another thread, I want to see some real to-scale drawings.  I am not at all convinced a 10,000 person capacity amphitheater can be "tucked in" between the stadium and indoor practice facility.  It seems more likely that some of the surface parking area would need to be used. 

While this may not be a bad thing, it would mean a loss in total spaces, and a potential reduction in revenue to the city for some events (like GA-FL).  And yes, I fully realize that those lots sit empty much of the time, and that programming at the amphitheater would mean better utilization of the lots.  I just think it is important that the City and Jaguars be 100% open and honest with taxpayers.

Taking some of the existing parking spots should not be a problem here people.  Aren't there acres of dirt and grass fields east of the stadium for parking?  And two parking garages near by, and acres of fields along the north bank of the river?  Seems like more parking than most stadiums in cities have.

What exactly does this mean for the shipyards?

What exactly does this mean for the shipyards?

What does this mean for Metro Park?

What exactly does this mean for the shipyards?

It means if something is ever done with the shipyards, it probably won't include a practice facility for the Jags or an amphitheater.

What does this mean for Metro Park?

Hopefully it means the death of the blight that's there today and a revamp of that space into something more useful.

What exactly does this mean for the shipyards?

I don't think they wanted to wait. In reality, the shipyards is likely a decade away if ever built.

[thelakelander]

The blight I was describing is the decaying thing we use as an amphitheater and the ghost of Kids Kampus. Metro Park is the definition of underutilization and disconnectivity.

Probably more like two decades from even coming close to what was shown in this rendering:



It would take less time to turn it back into this....

[copperfiend]

Yeah. Not holding my breath on the Shipyards.

Practice facilities at the shipyards was a horrible idea anyway, so that's a positive. And there is already an amphitheater space on the river that we don't really use properly, so throwing one of those in the shipyards wasn't a great idea either.

Both facilities being owned by the city and managed by the Jags are positives. Both will be kept up better and the amphitheater will have more frequent and higher quality programming than Met Park. Met Park could just be a nice park (again, it would have to be well maintained), or allowed to be privately developed after or in conjunction with the shipyards (though that is looking possibly a lifetime into the future).

Also, are the exterior walls of the practice facility rendered as video boards? Is Jax going for the first, second, and third biggest video boards?? This looks like something out of Beijing in 2008.
