"Premium Seat Award" for Everbank Field

[TheCat]

Didn't know this was a thing? There are a lot of seats in this world. It's good to distinguish the best from the rest.

Although, I think the seat next to the window in my apartment is pretty awesome. It comes with an ottoman and two, easy to manage, remote controls. I have super easy access to the bathroom. Food is generally available at all times (delivery service is an option). All you can drink coffee, tea and liquor. Also, air conditioning when it's hot. Fireplace when it's cold.

The only drawback, no pool in the living room...so, I guess I'll buy some tickets to Everbank?

The pools and poolside cabanas at EverBank Field received international recognition this month, winning the premium seat award at the 2015 Stadium Business Summit in Barcelona, Spain.

The awards are given annually to a sport venue that has delivered exceptional service or innovation to their premium seat, suite or hospitality business.

The Jaguars' stadium amenities were ranked ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers' $1,000 Timeless Ticket, Wembley Stadium's One-Off Butler Service, Gillette Stadium's Field Level Lounge, Levi Stadium's Premium Seating and Arsenal FC's Premium Seat Flexibility.

New scoreboards, other upgrades wow audience at EverBank Field "This recognition on the international level is gratifying and is a nice reward for all of the people who had a part in developing and executing the spa pools and spa cabanas, as well as our other new premium seat products," said Dan Edwards, the Jaguars' senior vice president of communications.

The North End Zone renovation, poolside cabanas and party deck were part of a $63 million renovation and development package made to the stadium last year.

"It's also nice for the fans who enjoyed these new amenities last season, because they made these such a popular feature at Jaguars games," Edwards said.

The poolside seats sold out ahead of the Jaguars first regular season game and have been boasted by fans ever since. Before the start of the season, the Jaguars had reported an increase in ticket sales, including 7,000 new season ticket holders.
Last week, Jaguars President Mark Lamping said the team is on track to surpass last year's ticket sales.

"While we still have our key selling months ahead and much can change, we are pacing a little ahead of last year and are confident that we'll surpass last year's totals," Lamping said.

One of many early examples of the ROI they city can expect from the stadium upgrades they helped fund.

Wow, did the City of Jacksonville get a slap to the head in that article? Did Shad put in all 63 million? Sure seemed like it. Mayor Curry - Send him the bill for the electricity used by the Alvin Brown Boards.
