The Jacksonville Jaguars’ “Stadium of the Future” project is under way as construction has started on the team’s old practice fields. The team will be building a new team facility and headquarters there, which will allow the players and employees to move out of TIAA Bank Field for its upcoming renovations.
While the details of the cost and renderings of the stadium renovations have not yet been disclosed, fans have been vocal for years about what they want most in stadium additions: shade. Most of the Jags’ games take place early in the afternoon, and it goes without saying that it probably hasn’t been very fun to watch a struggling franchise in the sweltering summer heat of the Sunshine State.
With the stadium renovations being such an important topic, the team has shown a willingness to lean on fans and others who have ties with the stadium (like the Universities of Georgia and Florida) for insight. In fact, back in April they conducted a survey with season ticket holders asking them about the upgrades they would like to see.
