The NFL team uses the stadium 10 times a year, the Fla/Ga game is every year, Monster Trucks happens once a year, other events like concerts happen regularly at the stadium, plus all the development around the stadium that would dry up if the team left.
There is a huge amount of prime riverfront property that is sitting idle at the present time that would likely see major development if the stadium is renovated.
