So, Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan thought 2024 was going to be the year, didn’t he? He declared his team the best ever assembled, signed Trevor Lawrence to a massive $275 million deal, and promised the fan base that “winning now is the expectation.”
Fast forward to Week 3, and the Jaguars are 0-3, fresh off a 47-10 thrashing by the Buffalo Bills. Ouch.
But wait, Khan’s commitment to the Jaguars goes beyond just throwing millions at players. There’s a cool $1.4 billion renovation plan for the Jaguars’ EverBank Stadium, a bill that Jacksonville residents will largely foot.
Yes, you read that right. The same team that can’t seem to win a game is getting a taxpayer-funded makeover. Let’s just say this: if the Jags can’t manage to secure a win soon, that new stadium might end up being the world’s fanciest monument to mediocrity.
Jacksonville, what are you thinking? You’re paying billions to support a team that can’t figure out how to beat the Bills, the Browns, or—let’s be honest—anyone recently. Maybe it’s time Khan focuses on fixing the real issues on the field before spending your hard-earned dollars on a luxury stadium for, well, losers.
