The Jacksonville City Council approved an agreement on Tuesday between the National Football League’s Jaguars and the Florida city for a $1.4 billion renovation of EverBank Stadium.
The team and the city each will contribute $625 million to the facelift, and the city also agreed to pay $150 million over the next two seasons to prepare the stadium for the work. Jaguars owner Shahid Khan will be responsible for any construction cost overruns.
