A University of North Florida poll found that more than 80 percent of registered voters support the city’s $150 million piece of the community benefits agreement to support the new stadium. The poll also illustrated how the CBA makes a big difference in the level of support for the overall new stadium bill.

The poll found most voters do not want city money going toward the Stadium of the Future unless it includes money for other city projects including workforce development, affordable housing, homelessness and parks.
