Dear Jaguars Fans,
As we near the kick-off of the 2025 NFL preseason, on behalf of Shad Khan and the Khan Family, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of our fans for your support of the Stadium of the Future project over the past several years. Thanks in large part to your effort we have solidified the future of the Jaguars in Northeast Florida for generations to come. This is a tremendous accomplishment and one that many outside of Jacksonville did not believe would happen. We certainly should be proud of what we have achieved together.
Now we embark upon the journey!
Our transition from EverBank Stadium to the Stadium of the Future over the next three NFL seasons will be unlike anything we have experienced in the past. For this upcoming season, construction work outside the stadium could impact where you park, how you enter the stadium and how you get to your seat. In addition to these changes, during the 2026 season the upper deck will be closed. And finally, our 2027 home games will be played in either Gainesville or Orlando before we return to the completed Stadium of the Future for the 2028 NFL Season.
The primary purpose of this letter is to thank you in advance for your understanding and patience as we progress through this renovation process. It's all part of the progress we pledged, and will see through, to ensure the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars will be right here in Downtown Jacksonville – in a reimagined and spectacular "new" stadium.
It also means this a unique time for all of us—an opportunity to come together as a community, embrace the adventure, and make new memories along the way. In short, we're all in this together, and I can assure you the experience will be more than worth it.
As important – maybe most important – let's also seize this moment to rally behind our football team, led by new Head Coach Liam Coen, General Manager James Gladstone, Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tony Boselli and a coaching staff that is bringing energy and determination that is impossible to miss. By showing our players and staff that we're united and undeterred, ready for anything that comes with a few years of construction, we will undoubtedly inspire our team and redefine what home field advantage means at EverBank Stadium.
We'll be sharing specific information in the weeks ahead as to what you can expect at Jaguars home games this season. For now, I hope you'll join me in approaching the 2025 season with optimism and enthusiasm on and off the field, all in the comfort of knowing our future in Downtown Jacksonville is exciting and secure
Go Jags!
Mark Lamping
President, Jacksonville Jaguars
