If your group is driving in from Jacksonville Beach, the Matthews Bridge is where game day either flows or locks up. Once you're on it, you're on it — no exits, no course corrections, just the St. Johns River below and the EverBank Stadium construction cranes visible from the far bank. On a 1:00 PM kickoff, that bridge crawls before 10:00 AM.
On a prime-time Monday night game, the post-game backup stretches well past midnight. A charter bus or party bus rental to EverBank Stadium absorbs all of it — the bridge, the Sports Complex exit queue on I-95, the downtown parking scramble, and the post-game wait at the Beaver Street rideshare zone — so the only thing your group is managing is the game itself.
EverBank Stadium is in its most transformative season right now: the Jaguars are playing the entire 2026 slate at a reduced capacity of 42,465 while the $1.4 billion "Stadium of the Future" renovation reshapes the venue from the ground up. The upper bowl (400 Level) is entirely offline, the North End Zone spa deck and Sky Patio are offline, and the plaza level no longer allows continuous gate-to-gate travel during construction — which means a first-timer relying on old muscle memory will find more than a few things different this year. Below, you get the full picture: exactly how a bus drops your group and where it parks, every other transportation option honestly compared, which vehicle fits your headcount, what the 2026 game day timing and bag rules look like, and the dates on the schedule worth booking around.
The drop-off and parking details come from the stadium's own published guidance, including the official Stadium of the Future FAQs.
Why Rent a Bus to EverBank Stadium?
EverBank Stadium sits on the north bank of the St. Johns River in downtown Jacksonville, and the water on three sides means every road toward it is either a bridge or a corridor that funnels into one. From the Beaches, it's the Matthews Bridge — no exits, no shortcuts, fully committed once you're on it. From the Southside, it's the Hart Bridge or the Main Street Bridge, both of which back up in both directions on major game days.
From the Northside, I-95 compresses toward the Forsyth Street Sports Complex exit, and the off-ramp queue can stretch a half mile by the time general parking opens. None of these approaches is forgiving for a group spread across multiple cars.
Layer on the 2026 renovation reality — tighter available parking with standard lot passes sold out from last season, altered walking routes through the sports complex, and entry gates that no longer allow plaza-level gate-to-gate travel — and coordinating a group trip in separate vehicles becomes a genuine logistics problem. Someone parks in a different lot, tries to enter through the wrong gate, and spends the first quarter finding everyone else. A Jacksonville charter bus or party bus rental solves that before it starts: one pickup location, one drop at Gate 1 or Lot C, and one pickup window after the final whistle.
The approach route is handled for your group, the bus parks in Lot W during the game, and everyone walks in through the same gate together.
For fan groups who want a single coordinated game-day arrival without the bridge stress, a Jacksonville sporting event party bus is the tool built for this specific trip.
Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at EverBank Stadium
EverBank Stadium has two primary drop-off points for commercial vehicles, and which one makes sense for your group depends on where your seats are and which direction you're coming from.
The west side drop-off is at Gate 1, accessible by entering Lot M from the Georgia and Adams Street entrance. Gate 1 serves the west-side concourse and the main field-level and club-level sections on that side of the stadium. It is also the gate the Jaguars direct fans toward when picking up rideshares after the game — the official post-game rideshare zone on Beaver Street near Lot Z is reached by exiting via Gate 1 or the Gallagher West Club Gate, per the official Jaguars parking page.
A charter bus dropping at Gate 1 puts your group in the correct flow for both entry and exit, with zero extra walking.
The east side drop-off is in Lot C, off Gator Bowl Boulevard. This is the natural approach for groups coming in from the Beaches via Matthews Bridge — the bridge leads straight onto Gator Bowl Boulevard, and Lot C is on that same road. The JTA Gameday Xpress also drops passengers adjacent to the east gates, so if your group is splitting between a private bus and transit riders, Lot C is the natural convergence point on the east side.
2026 construction note for gate navigation: Per the stadium's own published FAQs, the plaza level no longer supports continuous gate-to-gate travel during the renovation. Your group should enter through the gate designated on your tickets or the gate nearest your lot — trying to reach a section by walking the plaza from the wrong entry point means backtracking through active construction areas. Confirm your correct gate before leaving the bus.
Where Buses Park at EverBank Stadium — Lot W
Charter buses and all oversized vehicles — those longer than 18 feet or wider than 8 feet — are required to use Lot W, the stadium's designated oversized vehicle lot. Per the stadium's official rules, oversized vehicles are not permitted in any other stadium lot and will be directed to Lot W on arrival. All lots open four hours before kickoff, and the Jaguars recommend arriving at your lot at least three hours before kickoff to account for the security queues and the altered walking routes through the construction zone.
For the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, day-of bus parking is available for $100, purchased in advance through the Gator Bowl office at (904) 798-1700. For Jaguars regular season and preseason games, bus parking permit details and current pricing are confirmed through the official Jaguars parking page — standard lot passes operated on a digital mobile pass system and sold out for the 2025 season, so advance coordination is essential. Cash lots remain available nearby on a first-come basis: Tailgaters Parking Lot, Sports Complex Garage, Arena Garage, and Old Cypress Parking all operate within walking distance when the official lots are full.
EverBank Stadium Transportation: All Your Options Compared
EverBank Stadium is not a public-transit-friendly venue. Every road approach involves a bridge or an interstate merge, and every transit option requires at least one connection or a shuttle. Here is an honest look at all the ways a group gets to the stadium — and where each one falls short when you are moving more than a handful of people.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Drop-off proximity | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split by the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Best — Gate 1 (west) or Lot C (east), steps from entry | 15–56 |
| JTA Gameday Xpress shuttle | $10 (downtown) or $15 (suburban), round trip including parking | Only if booked from the same lot | Good — adjacent to east gates | Any, but no group control |
| GEICO Game Day Shuttle (complimentary) | Free, at Lots S, X, Z, and Metropolitan Park | Only if all cars are in the same lot | Good — drops near stadium gates; post-game pickup varies by lot | Small groups with cars already in those four lots |
| St. Johns River Taxi | $20 round trip | If all booked the same departure | Good — Metropolitan Park dock, across from the stadium | Any; best for Southbank hotel groups |
| Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) | Per car each way + post-game surge pricing | No — multiple cars, multiple ETAs | Post-game pickup on Beaver St near Lot Z — pink signage | 1–4 per car |
| Everyone drives & parks | Pass per car + gas per car | No — caravans separate on bridges | Varies — some lots over a mile from gates | 1–2 cars |
JTA Gameday Xpress to EverBank Stadium
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority runs the JTA Gameday Xpress to EverBank Stadium for every Jaguars home game and select other events. It is a strong individual option — round-trip transportation plus parking for $10 from the downtown lots or $15 from the suburban lots. The four locations are: Kings Avenue Parking Garage (1201 Kings Ave) and FSCJ Downtown (900 N. Laura St) at the downtown price, and Beaches Lot at Wingate (278 Penman Road South, Jacksonville Beach) and Northside Armsdale Park-n-Ride (3191 Armsdale Road) at the suburban price.
Passes are cashless — purchase through the MyJTA App before game day. Service begins two hours before kickoff and ends one hour after the game. Passengers are dropped off adjacent to the east gates at EverBank Stadium.
The limitation for groups is the same as with any transit option: you still have to drive yourself to a Gameday Xpress lot first, which means navigating the bridges and I-95 regardless, and you have no control over who else boards or departure timing. For a group of two or three coming in on their own, it delivers real value. For a group of 20 to 30 who want a coordinated single-point arrival?
A Jacksonville party bus rental picks everyone up from one address and delivers them to Gate 1 together.
GEICO Game Day Shuttle
The Jaguars operate a complimentary GEICO Game Day Shuttle for ticketed fans parked in Lots S, X, Z, and Metropolitan Park. Service runs three hours before kickoff and one hour after each game. Post-game pickup is at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Wall for guests parked in Lots S, X, and Z, and via Lot D for guests parked at Metropolitan Park.
If your group is already parked in one of those four lots, this is a free and useful option. The constraint: you still drove to the lot, negotiated the bridge traffic, and the shuttle runs on a fixed schedule rather than yours. For groups arriving in multiple cars from different directions, it practically guarantees a split arrival.
St. Johns River Taxi
For groups staying at Southbank hotels — the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront, Wyndham Jacksonville Riverwalk, or DoubleTree by Hilton — the St. Johns River Taxi is a genuine game-day option at $20 round trip, operating between Riverfront Plaza and the Metropolitan Park dock just across the street from the stadium. It sidesteps the bridge traffic entirely, and the boat crossing takes about five minutes. Pre-purchasing online is strongly recommended since each departure has fixed capacity.
For a party of two or four with a Southbank hotel base, this is a smart move. For a group of 25 organizing a coordinated arrival from multiple starting points, the fixed departure schedule and dock capacity make it impractical as a group solution.
Rideshare After a Jaguars Game
Post-game rideshare pickup at EverBank Stadium is on Beaver Street, near Lot Z, on the west side of the stadium. The Jaguars direct fans to exit through Gate 1 or the Gallagher West Club Gate and follow the pink rideshare signage throughout the parking complex to reach the pickup zone. After a sell-out or prime-time game, both wait times and surge pricing climb significantly as 40,000-plus fans all request cars at once.
A private bus bypasses this entirely — your post-game pickup window is arranged in advance, the bus stages in Lot W during the game, and it is waiting at Gate 1 when your group walks out.
A 56-seat charter bus replaces about 14 cars. That is 14 separate Matthews Bridge crossings, 14 parking permits to coordinate in advance, and no group control over which lot anyone ends up in or which gate they enter. One bus handles the whole group for a single, predictable arrangement — everyone in the same vehicle from pickup to post-game — and the route back across the bridge is already planned before the bus reaches the stadium.
Rent a Bus to EverBank Stadium: Choosing the Right Vehicle
EverBank Stadium group sizes range from a tight group of 10 sharing a suite to a fan club of 50 organizing a full game-day caravan from Jacksonville Beach. The full vehicle lineup on Partybusesjacksonville.net covers every configuration, and matching vehicle to group is straightforward once the headcount and any gear requirements are clear.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Luggage / gear | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van | Up to ~14 | Light — bags, a few items | Suite groups, VIP arrivals, small executive groups | Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows, individual reading lights |
| Party bus (15–50 passengers) | ~15–50 | Onboard, lighter loads | Fan groups wanting game-day energy on the ride in | Color-changing LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, wraparound perimeter seating |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Overhead bins plus some underfloor | Mid-size groups, corporate outings, organized fan clubs | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Excellent — deep undercarriage bays | Large fan groups, season ticket holder buses, out-of-town groups with luggage | Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays |
For fan groups, the decision comes down to headcount and how much gear you are hauling. A 15- to 50-passenger party bus keeps the pregame atmosphere building with color-changing LED lighting and a premium sound system from the moment the bus pulls away — right for a group that wants that energy going well before the bus reaches Gator Bowl Boulevard. For larger parties or out-of-town groups flying into JAX with luggage plus game gear, a full-size charter bus provides deep undercarriage bays and an onboard restroom for the ride back across the bridge after a night game.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — note the requirement when requesting your quote.
EverBank Stadium Party Bus & Charter Bus Rental Prices
Rental pricing for a bus to EverBank Stadium is shaped by a few clear factors: vehicle size, total hours you need the bus (including pregame staging time in Lot W and a post-game pickup buffer), the specific game date, and the pickup location relative to the stadium. Jacksonville party bus rental prices vary across all of these — and the fastest way to get an accurate number for your headcount and date is to call 904-203-1487 or use the online quote tool, which returns pricing in under 30 seconds with no account required.
To give you an idea of what planning ranges look like: a minibus runs roughly $200–$275 per hour on weekends; a 25-passenger party bus runs $275–$375 per hour on weekends; and a full 40–56 passenger charter bus runs $200–$350 per hour regardless of weekday or weekend. Real quotes shift with the specific date, itinerary length, and demand — these are planning ranges, not guaranteed figures.
Once the cost splits across the group, the math usually tips decisively toward one bus. A Jacksonville Beach fan group of 35 people needs roughly seven cars to make the Matthews Bridge drive, each car paying for parking and navigating the approach independently. Put all 35 on a 40-passenger party bus for a 6-hour rental — say, a planning range of $2,100–$3,000 — and that works out to roughly $60–$86 per person, with the bridge navigation, the parking coordination, and the post-game Beaver Street rideshare queue all absorbed into one number.

A Game-Day Example
For the Week 1 opener on September 13 — Browns at Jacksonville, 1:00 PM kickoff on CBS — a 38-person fan group books a 40-passenger party bus. Pickup at 9:30 AM from the Beaches Lot at Wingate in Jacksonville Beach, second stop in San Marco, at Gate 1 of EverBank Stadium by 11:00 AM — two full hours before kickoff. The group enters through Gate 1 together, and the bus stages in Lot W. Post-game pickup confirmed at Gate 1 for 4:15 PM.
A 7-hour rental at that size is in the planning range of $2,100–$3,500 depending on vehicle and date — roughly $55–$92 per person — with the Matthews Bridge approach and the post-game rideshare queue both removed from the equation before the game even starts.
Getting to EverBank Stadium: I-95, the Bridges & the Construction Factor
The stadium is at 1 EverBank Stadium Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32202, accessible from I-95, I-10, and multiple St. Johns River crossings. Here is how each approach plays out on a game day, and where the bridge chokepoints happen.
| From… | Approx. distance | Typical off-peak drive | Game-day bottleneck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jacksonville Beach | ~18 miles | 25–35 min | Matthews Bridge: no exits, backs up 90+ min before kickoff |
| Downtown Jacksonville | ~2 miles | 5–10 min | Gator Bowl Blvd and Adams St congestion near stadium lots |
| Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) | ~15 miles | 20–30 min | I-95 South to Sports Complex exit, exit ramp queues |
| Amelia Island / Fernandina Beach | ~35 miles | 45–55 min | I-95 South corridor compression into Sports Complex exit |
| St. Augustine | ~40 miles | 50–60 min | I-95 North to Sports Complex exit, same queue |
| Gainesville | ~75 miles | ~1.5 hrs | I-10 East to I-95, then Sports Complex exit approach |
From I-95 northbound (St. Augustine, Gainesville, points south): The Forsyth Street Sports Complex exit is the primary approach. Stay left on the off-ramp to access stadium parking, then follow signage toward the stadium complex. This exit backs up significantly before major games — the Florida 511 system at Florida’s FL511 traffic map publishes real-time traffic camera feeds and congestion data for this corridor, and checking it the morning of a game is worth the 30 seconds.
From I-95 southbound (Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Northside): Exit at Union Street and follow signage, or use the A. Philip Randolph Boulevard approach toward the west side of the sports complex, turning onto Duval Street with the stadium on your right.
From the Beaches via Matthews Bridge (Arlington Expressway): Take the Stadium or Veterans Memorial Arena exit off the expressway and follow Gator Bowl Boulevard around the east side of the stadium toward Lot C and the east gates. The bridge locks up well before kickoff — the only mitigation is an early departure. This is the approach where a party bus rental from the Beaches earns its keep most clearly: the group boards at the Beaches lot at Wingate, and the route into downtown is handled while everyone else is committed to the bridge.
From the Southside via Hart Bridge: Exit at Adams Street or Duval Street, or take the Sports Complex exit for direct lot access. The Hart Bridge feeds into the same downtown corridor as the northbound I-95 flow, so both share congestion during high-attendance games.
From downtown hotels and the Southbank, the distance is short enough that groups routinely underestimate it. The Hyatt Regency, Marriott, and the Southbank properties all sit within about two miles of the stadium, but on a game day that two miles runs through the same Bay Street and Adams Street corridor every other downtown visitor is using, and the sports complex approaches close to general traffic well before kickoff.
A bus staged at the hotel door handles that stretch on your schedule rather than the parking queue's, and — more valuable — it is already positioned at Gate 1 when the fourth quarter ends, while the downtown garages are still emptying.
Game Day Tips at EverBank Stadium in 2026
The 2026 season at EverBank Stadium is operationally different from any season in recent memory. A few things to have locked in before your bus reaches the parking complex:
Enter through your designated gate. Per the Stadium of the Future FAQs, the plaza level no longer supports continuous gate-to-gate travel during construction. Your ticket specifies your gate — enter there, or at the nearest gate to your lot, and use the main concourse for 360-degree access once inside.
Going in at the wrong gate and trying to navigate to your section through the construction zone adds time and confusion that is easy to avoid.
Arrive at the lot at least three hours before kickoff. The Jaguars officially recommend arriving three hours early; lots open four hours before kickoff. Gate 4 is the only gate that opens three hours before kickoff — all other perimeter gates open two hours before.
Build that buffer into your bus pickup time, particularly for 1:00 PM games where lots are filling by 10:30 AM.
The stadium is fully cashless. No cash is accepted anywhere inside EverBank Stadium, and ATMs have been removed. Every purchase — concessions, merchandise, bag check — is card or tap only.
If anyone in your group relies on cash, they will need a card or digital wallet before entering.
Bag policy. The Jaguars discourage bags entirely. If your group brings one, the rules are: one clear plastic bag no larger than 12″ × 6″ × 12″ per person, plus a small clutch or wallet no larger than 4.5″ × 6.5″.
No backpacks, no fanny packs, no tinted bags. Fan lockers are available at Gate 1 for items that cannot pass the check. Two factory-sealed 16.9 oz. water bottles per person are permitted; all other outside food and drinks are not.
Full details are on the official EverBank Stadium Know Before You Go page, which is updated throughout the season.
Check the Jaguars app before leaving. The team sends game-day updates, construction-related route changes, and gate adjustments via push notifications through the Official Jacksonville Jaguars App and by email. It takes a minute to check before the bus departs and catches any last-minute lot or entry changes specific to your game date.
ADA access. Elevators inside the stadium are reserved for guests with ADA or mobility needs throughout the renovation period. Escalators remain available in the South End Zone, and ramps provide the primary access route to other seating areas.
Wheelchair escort service is available at all perimeter gates, and sensory bags are at Guest Services. For accessible seating questions, contact the Jaguars ticket office at (904) 633-2000. ADA-accessible bus vehicles are available through the Jacksonville group transportation network — note the need when requesting your quote.
The 2026 Season at EverBank Stadium
The Jaguars play six regular season home games at EverBank Stadium in 2026 plus two preseason home games, all at the reduced 42,465-seat configuration. Two international games in London also count as the team's "home" games for those weeks. With a tighter venue and visible construction cranes, the earlier you lock in a bus for peak dates, the better your vehicle options.
Per the official 2026 Jaguars schedule:
Preseason at EverBank Stadium: August 21 vs. Carolina Panthers (7:30 PM EDT) and August 28 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7:30 PM EDT). Both are evening games that put the Matthews Bridge post-game drive into the 11:00 PM hour — prime time to have a bus.
Regular season home games at EverBank Stadium: September 13 vs. Cleveland Browns (1:00 PM, CBS — Week 1 season opener); September 27 vs. New England Patriots (1:00 PM, CBS); November 1 vs. Indianapolis Colts (1:00 PM, CBS); November 29 vs. Tennessee Titans (4:05 PM, CBS); December 14 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (8:15 PM, ESPN Monday Night Football — the biggest prime-time home game of the year); and one additional home game in Week 17 vs. Washington Commanders (date and time to be determined).
London games (no Jacksonville home games those weeks): October 11 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium vs. Philadelphia Eagles and October 18 at Wembley Stadium vs. Houston Texans. These two back-to-back London weeks are the team's in-season construction window — significant renovation work is scheduled while the Jaguars are abroad. Anyone planning to be in Jacksonville during mid-October will find the stadium complex actively under construction with no public events.
TaxSlayer Gator Bowl: December 30, 2026 — the 82nd annual Gator Bowl at EverBank Stadium features ACC and SEC conference matchups, 11:30 AM kickoff on ESPN. Bowl games draw large travel parties from both competing schools, and groups coming in from Gainesville or Tallahassee should plan for I-10 and I-75 corridor delays the morning of December 30. Day-of bus parking for the Gator Bowl is $100, purchased through the Gator Bowl office.
Note: the Florida-Georgia rivalry game has moved to Atlanta in 2026 (Mercedes-Benz Stadium, October 31) due to the EverBank Stadium renovation and is expected to return to Jacksonville in 2028. It is not an EverBank Stadium event this year.
Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Bus to EverBank Stadium
Where exactly does a charter bus or party bus drop off at EverBank Stadium?
There are two primary drop-off points for commercial vehicles. The west side drop-off is at Gate 1, entered via Lot M off Georgia and Adams Streets — best for west-side seating and the closest point to the Beaver Street post-game rideshare zone. The east side drop-off is in Lot C, off Gator Bowl Boulevard — the natural approach for groups coming in from the Beaches via Matthews Bridge.
Your drop-off routing can be confirmed when you book, based on your seat locations and origin point.
Where do buses park at EverBank Stadium?
Charter buses and all oversized vehicles (over 18 feet long or 8 feet wide) are required to use Lot W. Oversized vehicles are not permitted in other stadium lots. For the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, day-of bus parking is $100, purchased through the Gator Bowl office.
For Jaguars games, bus parking details and current permit pricing are on the official Jaguars parking page. Advance confirmation is essential — standard lot access operates on a digital pass system with no day-of sale at the gate.
How does rideshare pickup work after a game?
Post-game rideshare (Uber, Lyft) pickup is on Beaver Street, near Lot Z, on the west side of the stadium. Exit through Gate 1 or the Gallagher West Club Gate and follow the pink rideshare signage to the designated zone. After prime-time or sell-out games, both surge pricing and wait times increase significantly as tens of thousands of fans clear the stadium simultaneously.
A private bus avoids this entirely — pickup timing is set in advance, the bus stages in Lot W, and it is ready at the agreed point when your group walks out.
How does the 2026 renovation affect game day logistics?
Several things are different in 2026. The stadium operates at 42,465 capacity with the upper bowl (400 Level), North End Zone spa deck, and Sky Patio all offline. The plaza level no longer allows continuous gate-to-gate travel, so fans must enter at their designated gate or the nearest one to their lot.
Standard on-site lot passes were sold out for the 2025 season; cash lots nearby (Tailgaters Parking, Sports Complex Garage, Arena Garage, Old Cypress Parking) remain available. For bus parking, Lot W is still operational — confirm current permit pricing through the Jaguars parking page. Review the Know Before You Go page and the Jaguars app notifications before your game for any construction-related updates specific to your date.
What is the bag policy at EverBank Stadium?
One clear plastic bag no larger than 12″ × 6″ × 12″, plus a small clutch no larger than 4.5″ × 6.5″. No backpacks, no fanny packs, no tinted bags. Fan lockers are at Gate 1.
Two factory-sealed 16.9 oz. water bottles per person are permitted; all other outside food and beverages are not. Full details at the official EverBank Stadium Know Before You Go page.
Is EverBank Stadium cashless?
Yes — fully cashless. No cash is accepted at any concession stand, merchandise location, or service point inside the stadium. ATMs have been removed.
Bring a card or a digital wallet for everything inside the gates.
How early should my group arrive for a Jaguars home game?
The Jaguars recommend arriving at your lot at least three hours before kickoff. Lots open four hours before kickoff. Gate 4 is the only gate that opens three hours before kickoff — all other gates open two hours before.
For a 1:00 PM game, that means being in the lot by 10:00 AM. Factor travel time from your pickup point into your bus departure time, especially if you're coming across the Matthews Bridge from the Beaches.
How do I book a bus from Jacksonville International Airport to EverBank Stadium?
The most common out-of-town request for EverBank Stadium is an airport-to-stadium run — one bus at JAX baggage claim and a direct drop at Gate 1, instead of splitting a group of 20 across five rideshares on game-day morning. Call 904-203-1487 to set up pickup timing and vehicle size; the Jacksonville airport transportation page covers the full JAX arrival process, and the JAX airport shuttle guide walks through exactly how commercial vehicles coordinate at the terminal.
Is Daily's Place open for events in 2026?
No. Daily's Place, the amphitheater adjacent to EverBank Stadium, is temporarily closed as part of the Stadium of the Future renovation project and is not hosting public events in 2026.
Are ADA-accessible buses available for EverBank Stadium trips?
Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the Jacksonville charter bus network. Note the accessibility requirement in your quote request and confirm at least 48 hours before departure. At the stadium, wheelchair escort service is available at all perimeter gates; elevators are reserved for ADA and mobility needs throughout the renovation period; and sensory bags are at Guest Services.
Contact the Jaguars ticket office at (904) 633-2000 for accessible seating questions.
What other events at EverBank Stadium are worth booking a bus for in 2026?
Beyond the Jaguars regular season, the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on December 30 is the biggest non-NFL event at the stadium in 2026 — it draws large traveling groups from ACC and SEC fan bases, and the December 30 morning on I-10 and I-75 fills up early. Preseason games on August 21 and 28 are lower-demand but still prime bus territory given the late evening kickoffs. The Florida-Georgia game is not at EverBank in 2026 — it moves to Atlanta this year and is expected back in Jacksonville in 2028.
