Jaguars President: Stadium Renovations Are A "Big Revenue Producer"

Jaguars President Mark Lamping Friday morning appeared on NFL Network’s “NFL AM” live from EverBank Field to discuss some of the stadium’s new features ahead of the team’s first regular-season home game of '14. NFL Net’s Jordan Babineaux noted the stadium now boasts the world's largest scoreboard, new cabanas, swimming pools, a "live DJ and more importantly ... free WiFi." Lamping said, “This is something we're trying to do to create a real personality for EverBank Field, a fun personality ... that is legitimately Jacksonville. At the same time, we've got challenges in this market and this is a big revenue producer for us.”

Lamping said the team is trying to "give our fans as many things as we possibly can that's different than what they can have at home. It isn't replacing the at-home experience, but it's a different option and hopefully it's compelling." Babineaux noted it is a "real interactive scoreboard" with live tweets, "new videoboards highlighting and showcasing fantasy football" and the Red Zone channel playing. Lamping: “This is a great football market but there are fans of a lot of different NFL teams and we think it's our responsibility to allow them to keep track of the entire league” (“NFL AM,” NFL Network, 9/19).
