Getting there
EverBank Stadium sits on the north bank of the St. Johns River in downtown Jacksonville at 1 EverBank Stadium Drive, walkable from the Sports Complex's other venues (VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, 121 Financial Ballpark, Daily's Place amphitheater). The Jacksonville Skyway monorail's Sports Complex station is a short walk from the stadium. Most fans drive in via I-95 to the Sports Complex exits or US-1 from the south; the Sports Complex's extensive surface lots and the downtown Jacksonville garages a short walk west serve the venue, and reserving in advance via the parking link above typically beats game-day pricing. Rideshare drop-off zones are signed at the dedicated entrances. Important operational note: EverBank Stadium is going through major multi-year renovation phases — some games may be moved during the most disruptive work; confirm the current season's home schedule on the Jaguars' official site before going.
The neighborhood
Downtown Jacksonville along the St. Johns River has been redeveloping for years and the blocks immediately around the stadium are dominated by the Sports Complex — VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena to the west, 121 Financial Ballpark (the Jumbo Shrimp's Triple-A park), and Daily's Place amphitheater attached to the stadium. There is no built-up walkable bar-and-restaurant district directly adjacent — pre-game eating happens in the Sports Complex lots (tailgate culture is strong), at Daily's Place attached to the stadium, or back in the Riverside/5 Points neighborhood west of downtown. Riverside and the adjacent 5 Points neighborhood are the destination Jacksonville eating-and-drinking district, with a deep slate of restaurants and bars. The Jacksonville Landing site has been demolished and the riverfront is being redeveloped. Travelers building a wider day can pair the visit with a Riverside afternoon, a Cummer Museum visit, or a beach run out to Jacksonville Beach east of downtown.
Where to eat & drink nearby
Walkable pre-game options at the stadium are limited to the Sports Complex tailgate culture, Daily's Place concessions, and in-stadium dining — most fans tailgate in the lots or eat in Riverside before driving over. Popular Riverside and 5 Points stops a short drive west include Hoptinger Bier Garden & Sausage House (the 5 Points beer-and-sausage standby), The Brick Restaurant (a 5 Points sit-down American option), and Bold City Brewery (the Riverside craft-beer destination). Maple Street Biscuit Company in San Marco is the destination Southern-breakfast option for early kickoffs. Black Sheep Restaurant in 5 Points is a destination sit-down with a rooftop a short drive west. Town Hall in San Marco is a destination American sit-down across the river. Intuition Ale Works near the stadium is the destination Jacksonville craft brewery a short walk west. Pre-game tailgate crowds in the Sports Complex lots build steadily through Sunday morning for Jaguars home dates.
First-timer tips
Plan to arrive at least 2-3 hours before kickoff for Jaguars games — the Sports Complex lots open early, the tailgate culture is meaningful, and the inbound traffic on I-95 stacks up significantly before kickoff. The stadium's defining features are the duel pools in the south end zone (the only in-stadium pools in the NFL), the massive scoreboards, and the open-end concourses. The Jaguars' Duval Strut and 'Duuuvaaal' chant define the in-stadium atmosphere on home Sundays. Renovation work is the visitor variable: the stadium is going through a multi-year 'Stadium of the Future' project that will significantly modernize the building; some games may be moved during the most disruptive work, particularly across the 2027-2028 reshape. Mobile-only tickets and clear-bag policy are standard; download tickets in advance and pack to the clear-bag rules. The Jaguars publish current bag policy, gate-open times, and the renovation impact on their official site.
Best games to catch
Jaguars–Titans, Jaguars–Colts, and Jaguars–Texans are the AFC South rivalry games that consistently spike demand. Visits from the Chiefs, Bills, and other marquee national-broadcast opponents anchor strong prime-time slates. Jaguars January playoff dates (the team has reached multiple recent postseasons) are the hardest tickets on the home calendar. The annual Florida-Georgia game (the Cocktail Party) at the stadium each fall is one of the biggest single-day sporting events on the Jacksonville calendar — Florida vs. Georgia is the city's defining college football date and routinely fills the building. The TaxSlayer Gator Bowl each postseason is another fixture. The stadium also hosts the occasional Monster Jam, major concert, and special event year-round.
What to know
The stadium opened in August 1995 as Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, was renamed Alltel Stadium in 1997, then Jacksonville Municipal Stadium again in 2007, then EverBank Field in 2010 under an EverBank naming deal, then TIAA Bank Field in 2018 after TIAA Bank acquired EverBank, and was renamed back to EverBank Stadium in February 2023 after the brand reverted to EverBank. It was built on the bones of the former Gator Bowl Stadium and has hosted the Florida-Georgia game annually since opening. The duel pools and the cabana decks in the south end zone — added in a 2014 renovation — are the building's defining quirk and the only in-stadium pools in the NFL. The stadium hosted Super Bowl XXXIX (February 2005). The Jaguars are pursuing a multi-year 'Stadium of the Future' project that will reshape the venue across the next several seasons — confirm the current season's home schedule and capacity status on the team's official site, as some games may move during the most disruptive renovation phases.
