The Jacksonville Jaguars are proud to announce new progress in the Stadium of the Future project with the opening of Grand Staircase One, opening just in time for Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Located in the southwest corner of the stadium, Grand Staircase One is the first of four monumental staircases that will exist on the corners of the stadium, directing ticket holders to the main concourse.

This new structure is a symbol of the Jaguars' long-term vision, giving the fans a first glimpse of what 2028 will feel like in 2025. With this exciting development comes some new wayfinding entry points we want to ensure all fans entering EverBank Stadium are aware of.

Gates 1 and 4 are now both considered "super" gates. This means they provide direct access to our Fan Entertainment Zone which is located in the Flex Field. This fan area is the place to be ahead of kickoff. Each grand staircase will be flanked by escalators in the future as an additional option for transport between the plaza and the main concourse.

The construction of Grand Staircase One was no small task. Over 850 cubic yards of concrete were used and more than 1,100 linear feet of handrail were installed. The top landing alone required 96 cement trucks to complete. Guests should also take note that the landing represents the increased width of the new concourses, which will provide safer movement of patrons.

This opening marks the Jaguars' "first step into the Future," and sets the stage for even more enhancements to come as the Stadium of the Future takes shape. We are so excited for our fans to experience the next era of Jaguars football as early as today.
