Jaguars amphitheater, flex field construction to begin next month

[fsujax]

Pretty cool.

Nice vid, March, April, May, still doesn't seem like they will finish in time.

I agree, it doesn't look like they are going to make the deadline.

Perhaps I missed it previously or I'm just oblivious, but I never noticed that the roof structure is meant to resemble the bridges. Seeing the shot with the roofline and the Hart Bridge together is pretty cool.

[Keith-N-Jax]

Yeah, maybe this is one of those will look better when finish than the rendering look. I don't remember red lights being on the Matthews Bridge?

[fsujax]

I remember there was talk one time of putting red lights on the Mathews Bridge.

[Keith-N-Jax]

It looks good on the rendering, maybe they plan to do so.

I love the LED light plan for the roof! I would be thrilled to see this idea incorporated into more downtown buildings. The BOA tower is a great start as is Friendship Fountain. If we can get the bridges to be lit up again, imagine how cool downtown will look with colored lights all throughout the core.

^ Agreed. I think lighting in general should addressed. Some of the streets are very poorly lit at night time. Just improving those make a big difference to me, especially one's that don't have much activity.

There is never any reason, ever, to shoot outdoor lights upward. It illuminates nothing and just contributes to light pollution and energy waste.

I suspect this will be done on time.

But damn, they are going to be hustling.

I think the residents of Gotham would disagree.

For the amphitheater specifically, the video states that the LED's will be shot down on the roof, not up. Going to be a lot of fun to watch construction over the next couple of months. It's clearly going to be a mad dash to Memorial Day. It's fast approaching and we still have only a partial superstructure, with no roof, no practice field, no enormous sliding glass panels, no lighting, no connection between the stadium and new facilities, and no amphitheater. Queue up the construction cams and grab your popcorn, friends.

A "mad dash" to Memorial Day?  Certainly, you meant to say a "Daily's Dash" to Memorial Day!
