Home Teams: Jacksonville Jaguars (NFL)
EverBank Stadium first opened its doors in 1995 as the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, an NFL expansion franchise that joined the league that same year alongside their fellow felines, the Carolina Panthers. The building incorporates some sections of the old Gator Bowl Stadium that had occupied the site since 1927 and is situated in an attractive location on the banks of the St. Johns River. The Jaguars had a strong start to their NFL journey, making the playoffs several seasons in a row and appearing once in the AFC Conference Final, but they have struggled since. They are still a popular draw, however, in football-mad Florida. Along with all regular season and playoff Jaguars home games, EverBank Stadium plays host to key NCAA college football games (including the Gator Bowl), concerts, and international soccer matches. Showing up to the stadium hungry is a good idea, with everything from gourmet burgers to tacos to chicken jambalaya on the menu. Team and event merchandise, including plenty with the Jaguars’ iconic logo, can be found on sale at the numerous kiosks and shops in and around the stadium.
EverBank Stadium is a large venue that provides a broad range of choices for visitors when it comes to seating options. Premium areas include club seats and luxury suites (as well as one “super suite”) for those looking for an exclusive game day experience. Plentiful general seating is also available throughout most of the stadium, ranging from moderately expensive seats up close to cheaper seats the higher you rise up towards the sky. EverBank Stadium doesn’t have bad seats though; wherever you sit, you’ll have a great view of the action.

Visitors can access EverBank Stadium via public transportation or driving their own vehicle. Your first question, however, may be (if not living in the area): where’s Jacksonville? Well, Jacksonville is a city of nearly a million people located on the Atlantic coast up near the state border with Georgia. It is a 5 hour drive from Atlanta, Georgia, a 2 hour drive from Orlando, and a 5 hour drive from Miami.
Your only real public transportation options to get to EverBank Stadium are not really “public” at all, but rather special shuttle buses tasked with ferrying fans out to the stadium. A taxi or rideshare to the stadium might be a simpler alternative. If staying in downtown Jacksonville, you shouldn’t be too far away from the stadium.
Most visitors to EverBank Stadium travel to the venue in their own vehicles. Traffic isn’t overwhelmingly horrendous, but be prepared for things to slow down a bit on the roads leading to the stadium during big games or events. Aim to get there early. EverBank Stadium’s official website has easy-to-follow maps and driving directions.
