It is Thursday, April 2nd. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. And now, a guy with March Madness hair, meaning he's down to the final four, J.D.
J.P. Shadrick 0:21
Shatner. Uh-huh, that's true. It's actually very true. Welcome in. It is Jaguars Happy Hour. From the Hyundai studios of the Miller Electric Center, test drive a new Hyundai today. Only at your local Hyundai dealer. Plenty coming up after an off-season where the Jaguars have been quiet publicly. Very quiet. Not this week. A lot going on. Orlando in 2027 is now official. Liam Cohen and others speak at the NFL annual meeting earlier this week. We'll go around the NFL. And we'll talk to computers, as we always do. J.P. Shadrick with Jeff Loggeman, Jaguars analyst. Newsy Thursday. Newsy Thursday. Yeah. How you doing, man?
Jeff Lageman 1:03
Well, I guess so because of the owner's meeting. Yeah. You know, and everybody kind of has to talk. And then you also have coaches and general managers that attend. And everybody seems to be available. So it's nice, you know, because, I mean, you go back to the combine, which typically you get a lot of – You know, verbiage at the combine. The Jaguars didn't go. The top, you know, players, obviously, Liam Cohn and James Gladstone, Tony Buscelli didn't go. Well, here, Liam Cohn's there with Shad Khan and Mark Lampie and a big announcement, big news. A lot going on.
J.P. Shadrick 1:33
We'll hear from Liam Cohn coming up about how the Jaguars handle success going into year two of this regime. That's coming up in just a little bit. But guess what? The Jaguars, this is the worst kept secret, I think, in the last six months or so. The Jaguars are playing in Orlando in 2027. It's official now after a 32 to nothing vote.

What are the implications of the Jaguars playing in Orlando in 2027?

Jeff Lageman 1:53
Well, you had to have the vote.
J.P. Shadrick 1:54
Yeah.
Jeff Lageman 1:55
You had to have the vote.

What key announcements were made during the NFL Annual League Meeting?

Jeff Lageman 1:56
You know, there was a lot of talk about Daytona, Gainesville, and Orlando. And Orlando makes the most sense. I mean, for a lot of different reasons. One, the airport for people to be able to travel and come to the Jaguars game related to the league. And then also from a national perspective. But the facility there is in the midst of a $400 million renovation. Its proximity to Jacksonville is perfect. It's got plenty of rooms. Yes, absolutely. You want some hotel rooms? Yeah. You might find a few in Orlando. And some other entertainment options on the weekend. Yeah, so I mean, look, it's not that far of a drive for Jaguar fans. And I think you could also... Make a weekend out of it, too, you know, if you're a Jaguars fan.
Jeff Lageman 2:46
And Jaguar fans from all over pretty much can get a direct flight to Orlando from anywhere. You know, so, I mean, that's a positive as well.
J.P. Shadrick 2:53
That's right. And now there will be some upset Jacksonville. based fans just because they don't want to see any games away from here. Small price to pay for the stadium of the future that's coming up. Well, I thought, in my opinion, they should have closed the stadium for two years. Well, that was the original plan, and then they had to come off that a little bit and play in the temporary bowl.
Jeff Lageman 3:15
They're going to make it happen, but I think that having it closed for two years probably would have made – the construction thing easier. Oh, sure, yeah. But, you know, I get it. You know, the fan base doesn't want to see their team play somewhere else for two years. But the reality is, I mean, it's kind of a short-sighted thought process, I think, in my opinion.
J.P. Shadrick 3:36
Would you rather see them be playing in L.A. or St. Louis or some other city full-time?
Jeff Lageman 3:40
I don't think so.
J.P. Shadrick 3:41
This is what you get, you know, a new stadium.
Jeff Lageman 3:43
I'm excited to see what Campion World Stadium is going to be like. Because the renovation is expected to be finished up the summer of 27. I think the original, looking at some of the past news articles, they were talking about possibly 28. But then with the Jaguars possibly playing there, that whole timeline, I think, got moved up a little bit to make sure that it's done for that particular season. And they're having renovations done across the board. I mean, luxury suites, the seats themselves, the amenities. That's supposed to be pretty amazing.
