Getting an NFL team and keeping an NFL team, Jacksonville has now defied the odds and done both.

It took almost a year to come together, but the city of Jacksonville and the Jaguars have an agreement to renovate EverBank Stadium.

Documents were made public on Thursday that spell out in writing how the city could spend $775 million on a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars to help renovate EverBank Field and turn it into the “Stadium of the Future.”

It was the first of five community huddles after the city and the Jaguars announced the plan for a 50-50 split of the $1.25 billion “Stadium of the Future” renovation project.

It’s a complicated plan that doesn’t involve raising taxes and News4JAX has been asking questions to those who drew up the deal and one council member who has been very critical of it.

Mayor Donna Deegan, Jacksonville Jaguars President Mark Lamping and lead negotiator Mike Weinstein presented the details at Tuesday’s city council meeting behind the deal intended to upgrade the EverBank Stadium with a $1.2 billion makeover.

The Jaguars and the City of Jacksonville took the wraps off the most expensive investment in Jacksonville history on Tuesday, a 50-50 cost split on the $1.25 billion “Stadium of the Future” project that won’t include new taxes and will keep the team in town for the next generation.

At the next council meeting set for next Tuesday, residents should have some answers to exactly what it could cost and who’s paying for what.

The Jaguars’ “Stadium of the Future” took a big step forward Tuesday night when the Jacksonville City Council voted in favor of a plan to spend $10 million to get started on the stadium's construction design and engineering services.

Mike Weinstein, the city’s chief negotiator, spoke to the city council on Tuesday night about the ongoing negotiations and where the project stands.

What you are buying at the store today could end up paying for the Jacksonville Jaguars new stadium tomorrow.

The $2 billion dream to redevelop the stadium and the surrounding area with half the money coming from the city is still just that — a dream — but negotiations between the city and the team are underway.

Mayor-elect Donna Deegan added some well-known Jacksonville names to her executive staff Wednesday when she announced the team that will join her in City Hall when she takes office next month.

A federal grand jury on Thursday heard more testimony in the investigation of the attempted sale of JEA that could have led to millions of dollars in bonuses for top management.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – For the second time in three years, Mike Weinstein has been selected to run the organization in charge of city youth programs. This time, Weinstein will lead Kids Hope Alliance while Chief Executive Officer Joe Peppers remains on administrative leave pending the outcome of a city investigation. Weinstein, who led the group temporarily after its formation, begins work as acting CEO on March 2. He will be the third person to lead Kids Hope Alliance in roughly seven months. Horner was tapped to run the group with Peppers out of the picture.
