Jacksonville Jaguars’ home stadium will once again be known as ‘EverBank’
What’s old is new again -- the Jacksonville Jaguars’ home will once again bear the name “EverBank.”
On Wednesday, a lawyer for TIAA Bank sent a letter to the Jacksonville mayor’s office and the Jaguars.

The letter asks to change the stadium from TIAA Bank Field to EverBank Stadium.
In November, it was announced that TIAA Bank was being sold to new investors and would be renamed.
A Friday afternoon news release from TIAA Bank confirmed that the bank would once again become EverBank. The sale of the bank is expected to close later this summer, the release said.
The bank said that the stadium’s name change will take place ahead of the Jaguars’ first home game on September 17.

The “Bank” was known as Alltel Stadium from 1997-2006.
In 2014, the Jaguars reached a 10-year naming rights deal with EverBank.
In 2016, TIAA announced plans to purchase EverBank Financial Corp. and it was renamed TIAA Bank after the sale closed in 2017.

The stadium, which was named EverBank Field at the time, became TIAA Bank Field officially in 2018.
Between naming rights deals, the venue was known as Jacksonville Municipal Stadium in 1995-96 and again from 2007-2010.
