Jaguars may leave TIAA Bank Field for two years

It might be the offseason for professional football, but the Jacksonville Jaguars were dominating headlines on Thursday.

Two developments were generating buzz.

Going to London: The Jaguars announced they will become the first team to ever play two international games in the same season. Jacksonville will play host to the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 1 in Wembley Stadium and then remain in London for a matchup against the Buffalo Bills the following week at Hotspur Stadium.

And going to ... where? Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry said the Jaguars could play two seasons away from TIAA Bank Field while the stadium is renovated, possibly in 2025 and 2026. In an interview on 1010XL, he said "discussions are happening" to play elsewhere in Jacksonville. He didn't say where.
