The Jaguars are not moving sorry. Khan, while buying this stadium, is also investing close to $2 billion in Jacksonville around the stadium. He clearly has seen what Stan is doing and wants the same kind of investment.
I didn't know he was doing that, but yeah that solidifies the Jags staying since they would be the draw. Stan is biulding the biggest to date, but this type of thing has been going on for many years as new stadiums get built. I think the trend began with the new Orioles stadium in Baltimore but I could be mistaken.
In CLE they city made concerted effort with team owners to build all 3 stadiums in the city, with the Indians and Cavs so close you could throw a baseball between them and hit one of them. It enhanced the value of the property all over that part of downtown and developers came in and put in all kinds of different things. It was smart urban planning.
Now super wealthy owners are doing it themselves from stadium to surrounding area.
It started smaller, like Ballpark Village in STL, but man has it grown. And it will continue to grow too..........I think it will anyway.
Here is a pic of CLE. Look in the top right corner and you will see the Browns Stadium (AKA Factory of Sadness) and look how close the Cavs home and the Indians home are. Literally next door. All of the bigger buildings are to the right and not in the picture, and you can really see the street to see how it has grown. Plus this is an older pic, seeing it today versus what it was is like night and day.
That was funny as hell!!!!!
