 Jacksonville
Municipal
Stadium
When the Jacksonville Jaguars played
their first game at Municipal Stadium in 1995, they became the first
team to play in a new stadium in the 1990s.
In 1990, the NFL announced it would expand to 30 teams by the start of the
1995 season. Hoping to be awarded a franchise, the Jacksonville
City Council voted to commit $60 million to renovate the Gator
Bowl, contingent upon the city being awarded an expansion football
team. In November 1993, the NFL awarded Jacksonville a franchise.
Instead of renovating the Gator Bowl, the city decided to demolish
90 percent of the stadium and construct a new one on the same
site. Completed in just 19.5 months, the stadium was completed by
opening day 1995.
Originally named
Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, the Jaguars
played their first game at the stadium on August 18, 1995. The
stadium consists of over 67,000 blue seats. Two, two tier
grandstands of seats are located on both sides of the playing
field. The lower deck circles the entire playing field. Two
60-by-156-foot video/scoreboards are located at both ends of the
stadium. In 1997, Alltel Communications purchased the
 naming
rights to the stadium, thus the stadium was known as Alltel
Stadium. In 2007, the stadium was renamed Jacksonville Municipal
Stadium. The stadium has many amenities including 10,000 club
seats and two Touchdown Clubs that provide more than 65,000 square
feet of air-conditioned comfort with a variety of food and
beverage selections. Jacksonville Municipal Stadium hosts many other events other
than Jaguars games, including the annual Gator Bowl and
concerts.
