re: Jaguars, city of Jacksonville agree to $1.4 billion stadium deal

This is not the worst deal I have ever seen of this sort. When considering they also host UF-UGa there every year, they’re looking at entertainment around the stadium and it keeps Jacksonville as a “major league” professional sports town it’s probably a good deal.

Something else a lot of people aren't considering is that more shade will bring in more money as well.

Even in shaded seats an event there in the hot summer months is brutal. The Jags are almost always an early kickoff on Sundays, so you could have 3-4 home games where its just too hot to take kids or older folks.

Outside of Jags games, now you can actually book other types of events there during the summer without worrying about it as much.
