The bid packet says preserving space that is open to the public with access to the St. Johns River and Hogan's Creek "is essential to the successful redevelopment of the site." The city envisions a blend of public parks, recreation areas and marinas along with residential and non-residential development.

The same day the bids are due from prospective developers, the Jaguars plan to have the team's annual State of the Franchise event. In the past, the Jaguars and Khan have used that event to highlight plans for off-the-field developments.

In Shad We Trust, right? That's written just for finehoe and a few others, of course.

Big day.

Bids unsealed at 2 pm, and a potential detailing of Khan's bid at State of the Franchise?

Any guesses as to total number of bids?

I'm saying 2.

I'm guessing 3: Khan, another semi-serious bid that makes it clear how ahead of the game Khan is, and the Ark.

Totally depends if the Ark is in play again...

I'll go with 4.

[KenFSU]

I'm gonna be heartbroken if the ark isn't in play.

[FlaBoy]

When is the state of the franchise?

Thus far could fairly be summarized as: we do better financially when the team doesn't suck.
