\n What they\u2019re saying<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jaguars couldn’t ask for a better scenario than Orlando and Camping World Stadium as our temporary home in 2027. This couldn’t have happened without the endorsement of the league and team owners who approved our plan two years ago for a renovated Stadium of the Future in Downtown Jacksonville, and we’re especially appreciative of the support of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Shad Khan, Owner, Jacksonville Jaguars<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the comprehensive evaluation of our 2027 season playing options, we are \u200cpleased \u2060that the NFL and NFL owners unanimously agree that Orlando is the location that best meets the needs of the Jaguars, our 2027 opponents, and the National Football League. This temporary relocation is a necessary and important step to facilitate \u2060the 2028 completion of Jacksonville’s Stadium of the Future.\u201d<\/p>\n
