Jags on the move? -- In a dispute with city officials over signage at Alltel Stadium, the Jacksonville Jaguars said they lost money in 2002 and 2004. Those losses mean the Jaguars can get out of their lease with a payment of between $32 million and $40 million.
It's generally believed club owner Wayne Weaver, who brought the NFL to Jacksonville in 1995, wouldn't leave. But even after covering up nearly 10,000 seats, the Jaguars are still about 7,000 shy of the 49,000 non-premium seats they need sold to lift the embarrassingly usual home television blackouts. They also have about 2,500 unsold club seats, in part because the corporate presence in Jacksonville is so much smaller than in most NFL markets.
