  "account": "EverBank Stadium is undergoing significant renovations, but game days will still present a few changes for fans. Here are six key things to know before attending a Jacksonville Jaguars home game this NFL season:\n\n1. The stadium will have a smaller capacity, with 27,308 fewer seats than last year. The upper bowl is closed, taking out 22,005 seats, along with some lower bowl, end zone, club areas, and Terrace Suites seats.\n\n2. Parking and navigation around the stadium may be more complicated due to construction taking over some parking areas. However, the ground level of the main concourse remains accessible, and fans are advised to enter through the gate listed on their ticket.\n\n3. Several familiar amenities will be unavailable or limited during the season. The Spa Deck and Sky Patio with pools, Daily’s Place food and drink stand, restrooms, and concession stands are all temporarily off-limits.\n\n4. The construction will continue throughout games, as crews work on expanding concourses and building a structure for the future stadium canopy. Over 100 steel trusses have been erected, and a grand staircase will open during the season. The upper decks will be demolished after this season as the Jaguars prepare for their 2027 home games in Orlando.\n\n5. The Jaguars' final Jacksonville season is underway, with six regular-season games and two preseason games remaining in Jacksonville. Their other regular-season home games will be played in London. The iconic Touchdown statue outside Gate 1, which stood for 31 seasons, has been removed and is being stored off-site, with plans to return when the renovated stadium opens in 2028.\n\n6. A major fan perk this season is the introduction of a $4.99 concessions lineup, featuring classic stadium items such as hot dogs, popcorn, pretzels, nachos, candy, 16.9-ounce bottled water, and select domestic beers. This affordable option is part of the Jaguars' efforts to enhance the overall fan experience as they prepare for their future Stadium of the Future.",
