Overview
The Jacksonville Jaguars, like many NFL teams and owners, sought a way to connect their team and stadium to the community on more than just 10 to 11 game days per year. This ambitious fast-tracked project opened in time for Memorial Day weekend 2017, and combined the practice field with an amphitheater facility to become the first of its kind in the NFL. Daily’s Place has since become an iconic superstructure among the Jacksonville cityscape.

About the Project
When the Jacksonville Jaguars sought a new purpose for the area between the south endzone of TIAA Bank Field and nearby Commodore Point Expressway, they hoped to fortify the connection between sports fans and the city of Jacksonville. The solution was a new complex named Daily’s Place—a first-of-its-kind, multi-purpose facility connecting a 5,500-seat amphitheater and a 94,000-square-foot indoor practice facility to the south side of TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Florida.
The construction of Daily’s Place represents phase two of a $90
million investment in TIAA Bank Field. The signature element of the
south-endzone activation zone is a single canopy roof structure made of mostly
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fabric and steel. Future plans include linking
the activation zone and the proposed Jacksonville Shipyards development. The
new facility will draw fans to the stadium complex for more than 50 concert
events per year and fills a team need for an indoor climate-controlled practice
space.
