So we think, obviously, many fans want every single game to be played here in Jacksonville.

We understand that.

But in this particular case, trading a game in a stadium under construction with reduced capacity and getting a game back in our brand new stadium, we think that makes sense for all involved.

good morning thanks for uh thanks for coming um you know most of what we have to to share relates to to 2026 but because so much of what's influencing 2026 is the construction we thought it'd be appropriate to give everybody an update on uh on what's going on because you can see there's a tremendous amount of activity but uh

Before we get started, while there's been a lot of discussion for a lot of years, and there's been a lot of moving parts during that time, and all designed to deliver on Shad's vision of a stable Jaguars NFL franchise here in Northeast Florida for generations to come.

And there was a whole sequence of things that had to happen.

And they needed to happen in a certain order.

And what I find particularly exciting is that these things are actually coming to life right now.

So if you started with one of the first things we had to do is get all the football staff out of the stadium to enable renovations to occur.

And here we are sitting in the Miller Electric Center.

We had to get the whole business staff

out of the stadium so they could come in, do a lot of demolition, because most of the space that football and business was using is all being repurposed in the stadium in the future.

And right across the parking lot, unfortunately that palm is blocking the view, is a new office building.

We moved in there Monday.

So the business staff has settled in in a new office building.

The football staff has been here for a while.

The stadium construction is underway.

And you know everything that led up to just getting to the point where you could begin construction.

The promise of the Four Seasons Hotel, I mean you can see it right across the way.

The new marina behind the Four Seasons, that new public marina, will actually open late this summer.
