Jacksonville Jaguars Sold, "reportedly will keep the team in Jacksonville"

[NAHSTE]

I think they will stay in J'ville. We just have to get better. When we suck, no one goes to games. When we are actually doing good, we got full crowds. We just have not done "good" in a whiile

If by "full" you mean "3/4 full" then sure.

[Derrville]

I have confidence that Shahid Khan will make everything right.

Hello professional sports fans residing in Florida!

He's just keeping hope alive.

Congrats TailbackU on buying your first NFL team.

Wonder, will they keep the Jaguars name and logo when they move?

Okay, so the previous owner rejected a LA based sales group. He still ended up selling the team so it's no longer in his hands. If Khan wants to make money on his investment (presumably he does), what is to stop him from moving them west down the road?

Essentially nothing. But for the foreseeable future the Jags will remain in Jacksonville.

The Los Angeles Jaguars in the AFC South is almost as bad as Boise State being in the Big East.

Weaver's confidence stems from assurances Khan has made to him personally and the fact that the Jaguars' lease to play at EverBank Field runs through the 2029 season. If the Jaguars wanted to leave before the end of the deal, the lease requires the team to prove they had lost money in three consecutive seasons or to convince a local judge that the city was failing to properly maintain the stadium.

To be fair, 3 seasons of losing money isn't hard to imagine.

Who knew Jacksonville's stadium was called EverBank Field? LOL at corporate sponsorship in stadium names.

Right. Just like Urban Meyer was retiring for the foreseeable future.

The minute Khan feels like enough time has passed where doesn't look like a complete dick, he's moving the team. Book it.

Well he has to put no effort into the team for 3 years and then he can move the team to Pakistan for all we care. With Khan being such a great businessman, I don't think he plans on making a negative profit in any of his years in Jacksonville. We will find out in the winter of 2014 what his real plans are I guess.
