Construction will significantly limit capacity in 2026, forcing the team to play the entire 2027 season elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">Already a tourism hub, the addition of an NFL franchise would bring fans of the Jaguars and opponents to inject money into the Orlando economy.
