Amid the misery in Florida caused by Hurricane Irma, the state still has places to play.

The Jacksonville Jaguars were the latest to announce they will play at home this weekend.

Team president Mark Lamping and Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry delivered the news at a local fire station Tuesday, just hours after the team returned home following an extended stay in Houston because of Irma.

“It’s so important on so many different levels that we show the world that Jacksonville is open for business,” Lamping said.

The Jaguars spent three nights in Houston because of the hurricane.
