ORLANDO, Fla. — Tuesday could be the day that Florida football fans can finally get the answer to a question they’ve been asking: Will the Jacksonville Jaguars play their home games in Orlando in 2027?

The league’s owners are set to vote on the issue Tuesday during their annual meetings.

This comes after the city of Orlando and Florida Citrus Sports worked for months to put together a bid to bring the Jags to the City Beautiful.

And with renovations currently ongoing at Camping World, bringing in an NFL team would be the latest evidence of the city’s commitment to growing the area.

Less than half a mile away from Camping World stands Ivanhoe Park Lager House, a brewery that prides itself on it’s environment.

“We’re just committed to community by doing fun community events and just being a place everyone can come,” said Ivanhoe Park Brewing Company CEO Glenn Closson.

He said community growth was one of the big reasons he decided to open a second location on Orange Blossom Trail.

“We were super excited when this opportunity came up,” Closson said. “And we knew that there was a lot of future growth and that there were a lot of plans for the area, so, we just wanted to be a part of that.”

Ongoing renovations at and around Camping World stadium is proof of that growth.

Increased seating, an improved fan experience and a new multi-purpose center are expected to be added at the stadium in hopes of bringing in more high-profile events.

Closson said it would be exciting to have the Jags in town, especially since the team already has a strong fanbase in Central Florida. 

“We do get a good group every Sunday during the season to kind of watch the Jaguars play,” he said. “So if they come, it would be just insane getting crowds of Jags fans in here and kind of building on the excitement of it and see it keep growing.”

Closson credits Florida Citrus Sports and the city of Orlando for their recent work to bring more events to Camping World.

Orlando City Commissioner Shan Rose said events like soccer matches, bowl games, and the NFL Pro Bowl event have showcased Orlando as a destination city.

“We continue to meet the needs of all of our visitors. We just added two sports football teams, our spring football teams, that have come here,” Orlando Rose said. “People want to see sports and people are enjoying it, and more than anything we have a true family friendly environment and atmosphere here in the city of Orlando.”

Florida Citrus Sports is holding a watch party Tuesday from 5-7 p.m. at Orlando City Hall in anticipation of the results from the NFL owners’ vote.
