Daily's Place

Daily’s Place is the first-ever amphitheater designed and built to connect with a professional sports facility. The new Populous-designed venue is the second phase of a $90 million investment by the Jacksonville Jaguars and the city of Jacksonville in their ambitious vision for the future of downtown Jacksonville as a world-class sports and entertainment destination.

Daily’s Place boasts aesthetic and physical connections to EverBank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, through extensive use of white steel and a concourse to the south end zone lobby walkway, which offers up views of the field during concerts. The 5,500-seat amphitheater and adjoining flex field share one expansive roof structure, which features an undulating form inspired by the current of the nearby St. Johns River. The roof works with the open-air design of the overall structure to passively cool the interior, a must-have for the warm Florida climate.

The stacked-seating design offers superior sightlines and brings ticket holders closer to the on-stage action. The highest seat in the venue sits just 135 feet from the stage. For the performers, Daily’s Place features a lavish back-of-house environment, offering every amenity an entertainer could want, including a tour lounge and basketball court.

Daily’s Place acts as a natural extension of EverBank Field and the Jacksonville Jaguars’ brand, while offering the citizens and visitors of Jacksonville a next-generation event experience.
