The second phase of Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida is now complete: a 94,000 square-
foot indoor practice “flex field.” The flex field includes a regulation-sized football field that will
make it possible for the Jacksonville Jaguars football team to practice on the field year-round.
Five cameras are installed throughout so the team can film practices, and the facility
temperature can be maintained at 75 degrees. Four hangar-style doors (three on the south side
and one on the north side) allow the flex field to be opened up, including to provide additional
seating for the amphitheater. The facility is unique among football stadia in that the roof is
shared between the amphitheater and flex field, with an undulating design that adds visual
character.
