Jacksonville Municipal Stadium

Originally named Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, the Jaguars played their first game at the stadium on August 18, 1995. The stadium consists of over 76,000 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 on both ends of the stadium. In 1997, Alltel Communications purchased the naming rights to the stadium, thus the stadium became known as Alltel Stadium. In preparation for the Super Bowl in 2005, $47 million was spent upgrading the stadium. Upgrades included the 25,000 square feet Bud Zone sports bar at the south end of the stadium and a larger video board. In 2007, the stadium was renamed Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. The stadium has many amenities including 10,000 club seats. Two Crown Royal 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 many concerts. The lack of sellouts at Jaguars games has led the team to tarp off several sections of seating in the upper deck in recent years.

Because of low attendance in recent years, the Jaguars have tarped off seven sections of seating in the upper deck. This reduces the capacity by over 9,000 seats to just over 67,000.
