You are looking live... at Everbank stadium on the banks of the St. Johns river in Jacksonville Florida as the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Indianapolis Colts...

Kinda has a ring to it.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- After more than three years without a commercial name -- and the associated revenue -- Channel 4 has learned that the Jaguars have signed EverBank as the naming sponsor of Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.

Alltell's contract expired at the end of the 2006 season and the Jaguars and the city of Jacksonville have been looking for a new naming sponsor ever since.

WJXT learned Monday afternoon that Jacksonville-based EverBank has agreed to a deal and an announcement will be scheduled soon. Channel 4 is still working to learn the terms of the deal -- which is a revenue source for both the team and the city, which leases the stadium to the Jaguars.

EverBank is owned by a group of investors that purchased Marine National Bank and Marine National Bank and opened under the new name in January 2000.

As of May 30, 2010, EverBank had approximately $11.5 billion in total assets.

I'm so excited! What a smart move by both EverBank and the Jaguars.  A Jacksonville based company and team we can all be proud of.  Now let's win some games!

what a great time to be a season ticket holder! maybe this will encourage a few more sales.

After all the negative media last year, let's see what they have to say now. And were only about 10,000 tickets away from avoiding blackouts and the first home game is not until August 21st. I know we can do it.
