original $775 million<\/a>. The expectation is that the Jacksonville Jaguars will pick up any costs beyond that. <\/p>\n\u201cIt will be what we all agreed to spend $775 million on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Weinstein said the overall split between the Jaguars and the city for the cost of the stadium could end up closer to 50\/50. But he said the city is pitching in some of the funds up front to purchase the materials to get ahead of the impact.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a $25 million savings if the city purchases the items that need to be in the renovation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve also bumped up their Capital Improvement Plan spending from $150 million to $210 million this year to stay ahead of rising costs.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt won\u2019t increase the total,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just the timing.\u201d<\/p>\n
But looking into next year, there might be more financial juggling needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a possibility come March, April, May we might come back and say we need another $30 million moved up. But again, it won\u2019t affect the total, it just affects the timing,\u201d Weinstein said.<\/p>\n
While the money side has hit some bumps, the project is still right on track for kickoff in August 2028. <\/p>\n
Mother Nature has helped – no major storms have slowed things down and Weinstein even said potential home playoffs games were a part of the discussion should the Jags continue maintain their momentum on the field.<\/p>\n
