What is the Stadium of the Future?

The City of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Jaguars have partnered to transform EverBank Stadium. Transforming the stadium and enhancing the existing structure is the most sustainable and environmentally friendly way to provide the Jaguars, the Florida-Georgia / Georgia-Florida game, and the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl with a home that will provide a state-of-the-art fan experience. It will also enhance the ability to attract other events, such as soccer games and concerts.

 

Construction is scheduled to be complete in August 2028. During construction, the Georgia-Florida game will be played in Atlanta for 2026 and the Florida-Georgia game will be played in Tampa in 2027. The Jaguars will play at home for the 2026/27 NFL season, keeping as many games as possible in Jacksonville. Fans will have the ability to see progress when attending games during the NFL season. The transformation of this city-owned asset will benefit Jacksonville and the region. This project belongs to everyone.
