Early Years
In 1989 a group called Touchdown Jacksonville! formed and began the push to award a NFL franchise to the area. The group officially filed the application with the NFL in 1991, however it was not until November 30, 1993, that the franchise was granted. The former Gator Bowl stadium was demolished the following month, making room for the Jaguars stadium.
