The Jaguars will share their vision for their proposed Stadium of the Future with Duval County residents next week.
The team released illustration Wednesday for an enclosed stadium that would cost between $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion. It would seat 62,000 fans for NFL games and 71,500 for college football games.
“We don’t know that’s what the city wants, and we don’t know that’s what the community wants,” team President Mark Lamping told reporters Wednesday. “But, starting Monday, we’re going to go meet with the community, 14 different town hall meetings over a course of 10 days, sharing details and seeking input from the community. And, I’m sure we will have a better plan coming out of those 14 town hall meetings than we have today.”
The first of 14 community huddles will take place Monday at Strings Sports Brewery in Springfield. Here's the full schedule:

Jaguars leadership held similar community meetings as it sought to share the team’s ideas for the Shipyards development and the Miller Electric Center in 2021. At that time, Lamping said hosting community conversations was a lesson learned from the team’s failed attempt at developing Lot J in 2020.
