90 Million more to be spent on Everbank Stadium?

^ Agreed - actually looks pretty amazing at that price point.  Not even sure how or what to compare it to.

[JPalmer]

^Totally agree.

It looks better, and it seems much more functional as well.

Seems like they would need to break ground tomorrow to have it finished by August.

According to the radio, there was a bit of an oversight and they are actually having to wait until after Monster Jam to begin work.

Once construction is complete, Khan is interested in adding another high-end development just south of the stadium.

He said that he hasn't given up on the Shipyards, but it doesn't sound like he wants to sit around wasting time either.

[Marle Brando]

^Any mention or speculation as to what this high end development may be?

[KenFSU]

^The Jax Business Journal mentioned restaurants, office space, or "other venues."

It almost sounds like the Shipyards concept is going to be scaled down and just moved closer to Met Park. 

Also, Khan said absolutely no to another Super Bowl coming to Jax. "Won't waste time or resources on hosting." Likes the idea of using the facility to host the Draft one day though.

Also, from some of the other quotes coming up, it sounds like the Jags pretty much borrowed/stole the floor plan from Radio City

Thanks, sounds good. Im assuming by 'area to the south' Khan was referring to the surface lot immediately west in betweem the broadcating antennae and the new flex field. I do hope they eventually do something with more of the surface lots and force people to use the garages more often than not.

Hmmmmmm . . . where is Stephen and his unimpressed confidante ? ? ?

Could they be considering doing something really new and creative around the Channel 7 area? It *is* an area to the south of the stadium. I like that they are moving on what they can move on and seriously making a varied entertainment district on land not dependent upon environmental damage mitigation and reclamation.

[RattlerGator]

It hurts to be wrong, I know. And I was pretty sure you'd say something like you're not all that impressed. Pretty telling. And if I don't have the faintest clue as to whether or not this is a good deal for the money it's even more true that you absolutely don't know that it isn't.

[RattlerGator]

Hey, this poor little black boy can only afford -- like thousands of others from the region -- to be a season-ticket-holder. But I'm glad to do my part, thank ya kindly.

there may have been a few oversights on the process
