Jaguars announce $63 million stadium renovation & consider airing NFL Redzone

[shakedownstreet]

For whatever reason, there's been a whole lot of London-Jaguars talk this offseason. And it has made Jaguars fans quite salty. So how is owner Shad Khan and the Jaguars organization going to lift spirits of #DUVAL? How about by announcing a $63 million renovation plan for Everbank Field?

There once was a time when attending an NFL game meant unplugging from the manic-obsessive tracking of your fantasy football team. The Jacksonville Jaguars are trying to change that.

 

The Sports Business Journal (via ProFootballTalk.com) spoke with Jaguars president Mark Lamping, who said a section of the team's new massive video-board space at EverBank Field could be devoted to the NFL RedZone channel.

I have mixed feelings about the concept of airing RedZone if I imagine it happening at LOS.

 

On the one hand, as a STH, a fan of the NFL, and as someone who likes to keep track of all the games every weekend, it would be cool to be able to watch more than just the scrolling ticker or (often) very delayed jumbotron updates.

 

On the other hand, I think Colts fans at the games are really good at staying focused on the game, and having an impact through timely noise... and I wouldn't want to encourage anything that reduces that focus.

 it should be shown between plays, which is 95% of the game

They didn't get Tebow, so they're doomed regardless of what they do.

The renovation has apparently been scrapped by Kahn after finding out that monopoly money and mustache cream is not an acceptable form of currency.
