New Alltel Stadium
[edit]While it's not a huge stadium, there is a stadium that now hold the name 'Alltel Stadium'. Should there be some mention of this, or some movement in that reguard? -Colslax 06:11, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Nickname
[edit]I added the nickname "The Jack" to the info-box and it was removed citing no known use of the term. So I give you a few links showing the use of said nickname:

- I appreciate your sincere efforts. You have made progress, but, in my opinion, it's still not enough. Why not? Well, first of all, you really only provided one source, Vic Ketchman. Now I must admit, Ketchman's use of the term really gave me pause. (For any who might possibly be unaware, Vic Ketchman is arguably the most knowledgeable authority on the Jags, as senior editor of jaguars.com. He's as inside and in-the-know as anyone, so he's a very serious source.) Reading his use, not once, but twice, made me wonder if I really had missed this whole nickname thing. So I did a bit of googling myself. The result? "The Jack" is simply a term that Ketchum has chosen to use himself, on a temporary basis, until such time as Jax Muni Stadium has a new corporate sponsorship deal. This is the link to his explanation, but I'll just include his actual words from this past August, in response to a reader question about the stadium name:
- I agree with you. I like Jaguars Stadium. Obviously, at some point or another, the stadium is going to get a corporate name, but Jaguars Stadium sure is a lot better than Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. JMS is city-owned and the city is probably concerned that if it named the stadium Jaguars Stadium, taxpayers would complain the team got free naming rights, but I’m with you on this one. I don’t even like writing the name the way it is because it takes up so much space. I’ll tell you what, until it gets a corporate name, I’m gonna call it “The Jack.” Is everybody OK with that?
- This was from 3 1/2 months ago, and I haven't heard anyone else use the term. I'm not saying that I know that it's not in popular usage as a nickname, but I still need to see more evidence before I'm convinced. Unschool (talk) 03:45, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

WrestleMania XXXVI
[edit]Should Vince McMahon bring WrestleMania XXXVI to hosting the event at the EverBank Field in the Jacksonville, Florida?
Concerts
[edit]There is nothing in the article about the sold-out concerts by the Stones and Michael Jackson. I seem to recall other shows that included U2, Elton John and Billy Joel... Mgreason (talk) 20:56, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Article renamed?
[edit]Considering that the agreement to rename the field "EverBank field" won't be voted by the city council until August 10 (see http://jacksonville.com/sports/football/jaguars/2010-07-26/story/everbank-buying-naming-rights-jacksonville-municipal), didn't someone pull the trigger a little early in renaming the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.228.221 (talk) 23:58, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- The vote is a mere formality all team documentation and press releases have been using EverBank Field since the announcement. DragonFury (talk) 02:20, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
EverBank Field, not TIAA Bank Field yet
[edit]The stadium has not been renamed yet. It will be renamed for the 2018-19 season, which is months away. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.218.214.1 (talk) 21:04, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
- It's been announced, it's been confirmed by both the team and sponsor, and it's been as widely discussed as a stadium name change can be discussed. It's called TIAA Bank Field and has been since February 2018.DragonFury (talk) 21:07, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
- The name change is to occur for the upcoming NFL season, which for all I can tell hasn't started yet. The official website still uses "EverBank Field", as do their Twitter account and the Jaguars' page. Tickets for the 4/5 event are also sold for "EverBank Field, Jacksonville, FL" at www1.ticketmaster.com/event/22005452E0469631?brand=jaxevents (blacklisted, so no link). If there's evidence that the stadium has already been renamed, I'd like to see it. Huon (talk) 21:16, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
Photo
[edit]How do you make the stadium photo primary over the map? Rossidor (talk) 04:55, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
- Do you mean make the photo of the stadium appear above the map of its location? Because that's already how it appears on my screen.DragonFury (talk) 08:13, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
