After the Jacksonville Coliseum was demolished in 2003, the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena was developed to be the area's modern event center. Building the arena was part of the Better Jacksonville Plan, and since then, it has improved sports and entertainment events in the Florida city.

When the venue was developed, it was known as the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. Many years later, in 2019, the city voted to let  VyStar Credit Union become the sponsor for the arena, and the agreement came with the name change.

Before and after the arena was called VyStar, it has always been a hotspot for indoor sporting events and entertaining concerts in Florida.
