The Jaguars are about much more than just football to this city. They are also about turning around Downtown Jacksonville’s fortunes.
– The NFL Draft is Thursday, and the fans hope Jacksonville drafts key players to help turn around the Jaguars’ fortunes. After all, it’s been a while since they’ve had a winning season -- only one in the last 14 years, in fact.
In an interview only with News4JAX, Jaguars President Mark Lamping spoke with Anchor Bruce Hamilton about Shad Khan’s investment in the city and what projects the team’s owner might be “drafting” in the future. Considering Khan’s investment in the city, you would think the Jaguars’ front office was a bit taken aback by the criticism. But Lamping said he takes things like that with a grain of salt.Well, I guess it’s sort of interesting coming from someone who has a home in Jacksonville in Brian,” Lamping said. “That’s beside the point.
And there’s Khan’s $321 million plan to bring a luxury Four Seasons hotel to anchor a project on the former Metro Park site. The deal moved closer to breaking ground earlier this month when the Department of Environmental Protection agreed to lift certain restrictions.People around town have been talking about the NFL Draft and the Jags’ choices to improve the team’s performance on the field. So, what if the Jags were to enter a development draft.
