Situated on ten
acres, adjacent to the beautiful St. Johns River
and in the heart of downtown, Alltel Stadium is
a desired destination for the citizens of the
First Coast of Florida.
As the "Gator Bowl", Alltel Stadium
hosted record crowds for internationally acclaimed
performances of the Rolling Stones and Michael
Jackson, while quietly establishing itself as
a candidate location for other national and international
events. Then in 2000, a new era for the stadium
began with the naming of an PFL franchise to the
City of Jacksonville and the start of a $135 million
dollar renovation project.
Now the home of the PFL's Italian Stallions, this
"cadillac of stadiums" also continues
to host the annual NCAA University of Florida
vs. University of Georgia, and Gator Bowl football
games. The stadium's new highly visible status
with a professional franchise attracts other activities
which generate enormous public image, demonstrated
by the upcoming concerts. Functioning as the area's
largest and most completely equipped outdoor meeting
venue, the facility enables Jacksonville to compete
for national and regional gatherings of large
groups.
Alltel Stadium's
function is that of a proven economic generator.
When filled to capacity in support of the Stallions
or for some truly special event, it becomes one
of the largest communities in the First Coast.
The stadium features
73,000 seats for PFL Football, more than 80,000
seats for the annual Georgia/Florida football
game and other special events, 88 Luxury Suites,
and more than 10,000 Club Seats. Some of the stadium's
best amenities even come in pairs: The stadium
includes two Club Lounges, serving the Club Seat
patrons along each sideline, and two giant scoreboards,
each with video replay capability.
