The Jacksonville Jaguars and Mayor Lenny Curry want to move forward with an ambitious makeover to EverBank Field that includes building an amphitheater next to the stadium — and calls for taxpayers to cover half of the $90 million cost.
The plan is outlined in a proposed agreement that Curry introduced late Wednesday to the City Council.
Few details about the amphitheater were included in the agreement.
The amphitheater is described as a 4,000 to 5,000 fixed-seat venue that will host “concerts and other events.” The city would own the venue, and a company owned by Shad Khan would occupy, manage and operate the space under a 30-year lease.
