The Jacksonville Jaguars announced Wednesday that they have given team president Mark Lamping a five-year contract extension.

Since being hired for the position in February 2012, Lamping has overseen all business operations for the Jaguars. He has directed a restructuring of the Jaguars front office, along with multiple initiatives designed to engage with fans, increase ticket sales, strengthen relationships with governmental and civic interests, and grow local, regional and international business opportunities aligned with the interests of the Jaguars.

Improving the in-game experience for fans at EverBank Field has been a focus for Lamping, and the results of that effort became evident in 2014 when the Jaguars ranked in the top four of all eight categories in the NFL's Voice of the Fan Survey. The Jaguars ranked No. 1 in arrival experience, in-game entertainment, in-game enhancements and technology, and exiting the stadium; second in safety and security, game day staff and food; and fourth in merchandise.

Lamping serves on the NFL Stadium Security and Fan Behavior Committee and was named in 2013 as a non-executive board member of Fulham Football Club in London.

"Mark has impressively served the Jaguars and, by extension, the National Football League since I introduced him as our new team president in early 2012," team owner Shad Khan said in a statement. "Our business performance over the past three years has been remarkable under Mark, and his commitment to the Jacksonville community has been nothing short of spectacular. From growing our brand regionally and internationally, to seeing through our emphasis on improving the game day experience at EverBank Field and much more, Mark has done it all. We're all very fortunate to have Mark Lamping as our Jaguars team president today and for many more years to come."
