suite, press box, Lycamobile South End Market,
FanDuelVille and other behind-the-scenes areas,
unless those areas are being utilized by a private
event.
The tour program is coordinated by Jeff Fingland,
the manager of the Champions Club for the
Jacksonville Jaguars. The Champions Club is a
diverse group of fans from Northeast Florida
dedicated to assisting the team as community
ambassadors. A 20-year Jaguars season ticket
member, Fingland is an original member of the
Champions Club before becoming a full-time
member of the front offi ce.
“The tours are presented with the passion of true
Jaguars fans,” said Fingland. “We’re not hiring
guides and teaching them a script. Die-hard
fans are sharing insider tales of legendary games
and fi rsthand accounts of the evolution of the
facility.”
In its fi rst month of operation, more than 700
individuals have already taken a stadium tour.
Attendees have come from the UK, Canada and all
over the U.S., including plenty of local fans from
Northeast Florida and fans of other NFL teams
wishing to visit every stadium in the country.
Fingland says the real advantage of taking
the tour is getting to walk the facility when
it’s empty.
“Most people are used to seeing EverBank
Field on game day when it’s a beehive of
activity. Getting the chance to slow down,
hear the stories and peek behind the curtain
has been an eye-opening experience for most
attendees.”
