as noted in another thread, I want to see some real to-scale drawings.  I am not at all convinced a 10,000 person capacity amphitheater can be "tucked in" between the stadium and indoor practice facility.   

Regardless of the design, the Jags originally sold the City on a 10,000-capacity amphitheater, and are now doing just 5,500 (with no "lawn" seating) .  Note that I was skeptical on how realistic that was from the beginning, and got criticized by folks like RattlerGator.  How soon we forget.

When did the Jags ever sell the city on a 10,000 capacity amphitheater? 10,000 is roughly what the arena holds for concerts with big stage setups. Who needs an amphitheater that size, particularly when one of the major appeals of this type of venue is intimacy. The plan from the day it was first announced (http://jacksonville.com/news/2015-11-05/story/amphitheater-part-proposed-90-million-improvement-plan-everbank-field-city) to the day it was approved (http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2015-12-08/story/city-council-unanimously-approves-90-million-improvement-everbank-field) was for 4,000 to 5,000 fixed seats. We settled in on 5,500. We lost some additional, unspecified lawn space, gained some standing room areas and club and bar areas, and the enclosed practice space became integrated lawnspace.

^ the plan was 5,000 fixed seats and lawn seating/standing room for another 5,000.  Remember that this is being billed in part as a replacement for Met Park, which holds over 12,000. 

The amphitheater concert circuit is not the same as the arena circuit.  For example, Tampa has an amphitheater and arena that both hold about 20,000.  They are both doing just fine.
