Stadiums

The proposal calls for the team and city to contribute $625 million to the $1.25 billion project. Jacksonville, which won’t levy new taxes to fund the rebuild, would chip in another $150 million to prep the site.

When asked if the taxpayer investment of $775 million for a renovated Jaguars stadium should go to a referendum, Mayor Donna Deegan replied: “I believe the referendum was my election back in May."

The city council must vote on its half of the financing, which would be done by moving $600 million from a capital improvement plan and an existing, half-penny sales tax. No new taxes would be implemented.

A series of town hall meetings will begin Monday to gauge the public's reaction to plans for TIAA Bank Field.

The resurrected proposal would keep an untouched pool of money from being used toward stadium construction and renovation.

Similar debates have played out elsewhere, as sports stadiums that were originally built as memorials to veterans take on new corporate names.
