Overview
- A Jaguars media tour this week gave the first public look at the renovated bowl, showing much wider concourses, new entry gates, relocated field lights and corner breezeways designed to increase shade and airflow.
- Fans will see a smaller, construction‑shaped game experience in 2026 with upper decks closed, temporary lower‑bowl seating, altered parking and routes, and an announced stadium capacity reduced to roughly 42,000 seats.
- Construction will continue around home games with crews stopping work hours before kickoff and resuming afterward, roof steel is planned for completion in early 2027, and the club will remove the upper decks next year while playing some home games in Orlando.
- About 20,000 seats have already been removed to reconfigure the bowl so the finished venue can expand to just over 70,000 for large events by the 2028 target, though that capability depends on wider city infrastructure.
- The team has introduced a 'Fan First' concessions plan with items under $4.99 and a $12.99 bottomless cup to reduce in‑game costs for attendees while signaling a shift away from using concessions as a profit center.
