The Jacksonville Jaguars want to renovate their stadium. This could allow the franchise to play even more games in London in the coming years. Or will the team find another solution?
Next season, the Jacksonville Jaguars will play two games in London for the first time ever. In the coming years, that number could even increase. The reason? Because the Jaguars are renovating their stadium, the franchise’s home games will likely have to be played elsewhere in at least two seasons.
That’s what Lenny Curry, the city’s mayor, explained during an appearance on radio station “1010XL.” According to David Bauerlein, reporter for the “Florida Times-Union”, this was the first time it was said publicly that the Jaguars would be “displaced” by the renovation of the stadium.
At this time, it is still completely unclear where the team would play its home games. Curry commented, “The goal would be to play somewhere in Jacksonville. I know they are looking at certain local sites that could host them for at least two years. “
Jacksonville Jaguars: More games in London?
But because the two years is a “best-case scenario,” other sites are said to be under consideration. Accordingly, a “temporary” move to Orlando is an option. Also conceivable: The Jaguars playing more games in London.
The current schedule calls for renovations to have been completed in 2025 and 2026.
