Jaguars amphitheater, flex field construction to begin next month

[pierre]

After the Jumbo Shrimp game yesterday, I walked over to look at the construction of Dailys Place.

I still can't believe there are going to be shows there in just over two weeks. There were a ton of people working. But also there appears to be a lot of work left to do.

I feel like demanding pictures, please, but heck, I'll be in town midweek. Hopefully they'll be making serious progress each remaining day.

Why the demand? Just go here:

And you can watch construction yourself all day at work.

Are all the shots just of the roof? I guess there is no way to see inside.

The Meek Mill & Yo Gotti tour coming to Daily's Place really alarms me. Read up a lil with some research and history concerning these gangsta rappers before going all liberal on me; predictively claiming I'm an 'obic' or 'ist' of your choosing... I listen to hip hop, but I know how negative alot of it can be (esp these days). There are rap acts out there that don't engage into negativeness as well. I hope that nothing goes down during that show, but I won't be surprised if it does.

Seriously?? Hip Hop acts come through jax all the time without incident.  Whether at Suite, Mavericks, the Arena, the amphitheater.... Meek Mill isn't even gangsta.  He's afraid of Drake!!

I won't be worried unless an act like ICP books the place...

Edit: Or Elvis. This city can't handle those hips again.

You seem like you'd prefer wholesome country acts that love 'Merica:

Meek Mill being classified as "Gangsta" is cracking me up.

Yeah, I am nerdacious enough to have already checked that out regularly. But the interior is my curiosity, including the lobby that will also have a convenience store within.

Mary J. Blige and Lalah Hathway coming August 23rd My, my, my.

The Mary J Blidge tour coming to Daily's Place really alarms me. Read up a lil with some research and history concerning Mary she used to be signed to Bad Boy back in the 90s, that's the label Biggie was on before he was murdered due to his gangster rap. Before going all liberal on me; predictively claiming I'm an 'obic' or 'ist' of your choosing... I listen to hip hop and have black friends, but I know how negative a lot of it can be (esp these days). There are r&b acts out there that don't engage into negativeness as well. I hope that nothing goes down during that show, but I won't be surprised if it does.

No ones concerned about Kidz Bop coming? Have you heard their music? They make all of these "gangsters" look like angels.

First of all, Mary J Blige was never signed to Bad Boy records. Second of all, there is nothing remotely "gangster" about Mary J Blige.

I can appreciate being concerned about Death Row records - that was a company run by an actual gangster. But Bad Boy records had all sorts of fairly mild and non-controversial artists - like Mase and Craig Mack, for example.

Anyway - I don't need to call you a racist. Your post does that for you.

Edit: this totally flew over my head. Sorry. I get it now.

Re-read I-10's post and then that one.

Craig Mack? The last thing we need in Jacksonville is flava in ya ear.

Smh at these posts. I've been listening to Mary J since the early 1990s. This is the first time I've ever heard someone tie her in with "gansta rap".  People will wet their pants the day they book a NWA or Death Row reunion tour.
