Plans by the Jacksonville Jaguars to develop an entertainment district adjacent to the team’s “Stadium of the Future” were a nonstarter in negotiations with the city of Jacksonville on stadium construction, but the proposed district isn’t dead. 

Jaguars President Mark Lamping told City Council members June 20 that the team still sees a need for the district, which it rolled out simultaneously with plans for the stadium in 2023. Responding to questions from Council member Jimmy Peluso, Lamping said that for the stadium to attract major events, “We’re going to have to give more options for attendees of these events to do something before and after.”
