Jaguars amphitheater, flex field construction to begin next month

[KenFSU]

^The cost of renting, staffing, and staging an arena is always going to be significantly more expensive than the cost of running an amphitheater.

RG, for now, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, wait for more information, and hope for the best.

We're both on the same page that the new facility, and the Jaguars' involvement, is a massive net positive for both the city and for the long-term stability of the Jaguars in this market.

But strictly out of principle, I'll never be convinced that the city should allow the Jaguars to pre-sell more than 50% of tickets to their season ticket holders.

I know that the amphitheater will be the new hot place to have concerts, but if there are shows coming to town with vastly more demand than 5500 tickets, wouldn't they perform in the arena?

Yes.

FYI
For the Third Eye Blind show. Citi card holders have a presale going on now. Tomorrow, Jags 365 members get a presale. Friday on sale to everybody. So, for a 42.00 tic, you'll pay I think 11.00, facility charge and 12.00 service charge at Ticketmaster, on top of the price of the ticket.

Dave Matthews tickets go on sale to the public Friday. I am guessing that sells out pretty quick.

I'm interested to see how well he still sells, especially in a city he barely ever plays.

With it being his only Florida show, I suspect it will sell well. He sold out the arena two years ago.

Good to know! Thanks!

Both of their venues are 20,000 capacity. So, not a Daily's place possibility.

Well, there is 12 days between Tampa and the Nashville shows, so it could happen.

Straight No Chaser and Postmodern Jukebox announced for August.

Also, looking at the construction cam, it looks like there is a lot of work left to complete by May.

They going to work 7 Days a week?

I've seen workers there on a Saturday night.

Both previous Jags stadium projects were this way too - the Jaguars ran all three construction projects and are then responsible for the overruns, etc.
