Jaguars Consider Daytona Speedway as Temporary Home During Stadium Renovations

The Jacksonville Jaguars are discussing the possibility of playing their home games at Daytona International Speedway during the proposed renovations to TIAA Bank Field. The team has also had conversations with the University of Florida and Orlando officials for alternate home stadiums. If the team and city agree to a four-year renovation plan, the team could still play at TIAA Bank Field, but it would add an additional $190 million to the cost of the renovations. The Jaguars' lease with the city expires after the 2029 season, and the team hopes to reach a deal with the city in March 2024.

Jaguars explore Daytona Beach as temporary home and seek fan input for stadium renovation.

The Daytona International Speedway is being considered as a temporary home for the Jacksonville Jaguars during the proposed renovations of TIAA Bank Field, which could take up to two years. The Jaguars' lease at TIAA Bank Field runs out in 2029, and upgrades or a new stadium are thought to be a major part of securing a new lease. The team president listed the University of Florida’s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium or Orlando’s Camping World Stadium as the most likely hosts, with other options including the University of North Florida’s Hodges Stadium. The new stadium, which could hold as many as 71,500 fans for college games and concerts with an NFL gameday max of 62,000, would come equipped with a mirrored exterior and larger concourses.

Jaguars Stadium Renovations: Bold Move or Hardball Play?

The latter option would require the team to find a temporary venue, possibly in Orlando or Gainesville, and cost over $125 million. The former option would take four years instead of two and cost an estimated $190 million more. NFL teams typically do not leave town for stadium renovations or construction, but the Jaguars may have to make an exception.
