History
The Jacksonville Jaguars were established in 1993 as an NFL expansion franchise, alongside the Carolina Panthers. The team was founded by Wayne Weaver, a local businessman, and began play in 1995. In their second season (1996), the Jaguars made a surprising run to the AFC Championship Game, losing to the New England Patriots. They returned to the AFC Championship in 1999 but lost to the Tennessee Titans. The team struggled in the early 2000s but remained competitive. In 2012, Wayne Weaver sold the franchise to Shahid Khan, a Pakistani-American billionaire and owner of Flex-N-Gate. Under Khan's ownership, the team has invested in facilities and international outreach, including playing home games in London as part of the NFL's International Series. The Jaguars have won the AFC South division title multiple times, most recently in 2022. The team's home stadium, originally Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, has undergone several naming rights changes, including Alltel Stadium, EverBank Field, and TIAA Bank Field. The Jaguars have a strong community presence through the Jaguars Foundation, which supports youth and education initiatives in the Jacksonville area.
