Alltel Stadium

Alltel Stadium existed between 1997 and 2006. It replaced the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium name for those years. At the end of 2006, the stadium once again became Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. The building has remained the same since its opening in 1995. However, after a set period of years the naming rights are usually sold. Alltel Stadium is now referred to as EverBank Field. As of 2010 the stadium underwent naming contracts with EverBank for a five year deal.

In 2016, the stadium could very well be named Jacksonville Municipal Stadium again. The stadium is a football location for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars are part of the National Football League. They also host Florida versus Georgia Football Classic games each year. There is a huge rivalry between the University of Florid and University of Georgia. The Gator Bowl is a post season college game, which is highly popular in Jacksonville and held at the former Alltel Stadium.

The stadium replaced the old Gator Bowl Stadium, which was constructed in 1949. Today the new stadium covers 10 acres with 76,867 seats. In 2005, while still the Alltel Stadium, they were hosts to the Super Bowl XXXIX with the Patriots and Philadelphia playing for the win.
