EverBank Field, NFL stadium in Jacksonville, United States.
EverBank Field is an American football stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, home of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars since 1995. The photograph shows stacked open parking decks at its lower left and centre, a continuous band of "EverBank Field" signage in white on teal, orange and tan panels, two white lattice towers above the roofline, and a blue glass grid facade hung with vertical banners beneath a curved canopy. Regular-season capacity is 67,814 seats, with 75 luxury suites and 11,000 club seats.
Jacksonville Municipal Stadium opened on 18 August 1995, built in 19 months for $134 million, of which the city paid $60 million. The city demolished 90% of the old Gator Bowl Stadium on the same site rather than renovating it. Alltel bought naming rights in 1997, EverBank in 2010, TIAA in 2018, and the EverBank name returned in September 2023.
Since 1996 the stadium has hosted the Florida-Georgia rivalry, known locally as the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, alongside Jaguars home games. The Gator Bowl has been played here every year since 1996, and the venue has also staged concerts and the ACC Championship Game from 2005 to 2007.
The stadium holds 6,000 parking spaces, and the lot in front of the stacked parking decks fills first on game days. The 75 luxury suites and 11,000 club seats have separate entrances from the general stands. Two large screens stand at either end of the field.
The stadium was built in just 19 months after the city demolished 90% of the old Gator Bowl Stadium on the same site, and it opened on 18 August 1995 at a cost of $134 million, $60 million of it paid by Jacksonville. Its record crowd, 85,412, came on 29 September 2007 for the River City Showdown between Florida State and Alabama.
