Best Stadium in the Country is Home to the Jacksonville Jaguars

It was on August 1995 that the Jacksonville Jaguars played their first game in their new stadium. This day also marked the first time in sports history that an expansion team played its first home game in a new stadium during their very first season. The home of the Jaguars also made history as the fastest constructed stadium with a duration of approximately 20 months as compared to the other NFL stadiums.

The site of the stadium was the site of the old Gator Bowl and in order for it to be constructed, the Gator Bowl had to be demolished. And in such a short time, a new stadium arose. Also, the new stadium rapidly became the best stadium in the country. The stadium was then named the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium and it was the host site of the biggest sporting event in the world for a day – the Super Bowl XXXIX.

To make sure that Jacksonville had the best venue for the NFL, the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium went through a make over costing to over $63 million. Renovation works included the addition of the Group Terrace suit, the Bud Zone, Pation, 20 new escalators, four elevators, perimeter fences, renovated club rooms and suites, and state of the art scoreboards.

The practice fields of the Jacksonville Jaguars which is adjacent to the stadium has now been converted to an entertainment zone called the Pepsi Plaza. During game days, this area includes a corporate hospitality area, tailgate cabanas, and hosts interactive games as well as a stage for pre and post-game entertainment.

In 1997, the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium was eventually renamed to the Alltel Stadium after Alltel bought the naming rights for ten years. When the contract reached is expiry in 2007, it reverted back to its old name. The stadium is known for the two Crown Royal Touchdown Clubs located on both of its sides. Its design is rather unique since all the 10,000 club seats and the Crown Royal Touchdown Clubs are located midfield and not scattered horizontally like other stadiums. Totally, 75 percent of the seats in this stadium is located on the side, while the 25 percent is located behind the end zones.

In reality, the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium seat 67,000 but additional seats were added to expand the capacity to 82,000 during major games like the Florida-Georgia game and the Super Bowl XXXIX. Recently however, blackouts were common in the stadium, thus prompting city officials to tarp some sections of the stadium.

At present, the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium is where the games of the Jaguars are played. This is where the Jaguars show how they are as a team. This is the pride of Jacksonville and even if the Jaguars do not perform as they had during their best season, they are sure that the stadium will be filled with their never faltering supporters and fans who are out to hopefully see them perform at their best with each game they bring to
their home city.

The home of the Jaguars also made history as the fastest constructed stadium with a duration of approximately 20 months as compared to the other NFL stadiums.
