The only named company during last week’s committee meeting was CAA Icon, which has worked other stadium deals in the past.

“There are plenty of firms around the country who would love to help and be part of our deal,” she said. “Nobody in the city has dealt with anything of this magnitude and this complexity. So why not start off on the right foot.”Jacksonville mayor: Stadium renovations may involve Jaguars playing in alternate spot for 2 years
