On November 30, 1993, at 4:12 p.m., an incredible four-year campaign was over. The Jacksonville Jaguars were to be the 30th franchise of the National Football League. Jacksonville’s incredible drive actually began on August 17, 1989, when Touchdown Jacksonville!, a partnership, was formed to lead the community effort to win an NFL franchise. Jacksonville businessman Tom Petway led the group. On September 16, 1991, armed with a $60 million commitment from the Jacksonville City Council to renovate the Gator Bowl, Touchdown Jacksonville!, Ltd. filed an expansion application with the NFL. The application listed a nine-member partnership that included Petway and J. Wayne Weaver who now serves as the club’s Chairman and CEO. One of eleven cities to apply, Jacksonville was considered by many to be the longest shot on the board. Still, that didn’t keep the Jacksonville group from confidently announcing that the team would be named “Jaguars” if awarded one of the two available expansion franchises. Jacksonville survived the first round of applicant cuts, when on March 17, 1992, at the NFL’s annual winter meeting, the list of eleven was reduced to seven. Two months later, the expansion race was narrowed to five possible choices: Jacksonville, Baltimore, St. Louis, Charlotte and Memphis. The remaining applicants’ spirits were somewhat dampened, however, when on October 20, 1992, the NFL owners, citing complications surrounding the ongoing NFL labor situation, voted to delay the expansion vote until their fall 1993 meeting.
