The Jacksonville Jaguars’ home stadium, TIAA Bank Field, is set to become EverBank Stadium, according to a letter from TIAA Bank addressed to the Jaguars and the City of Jacksonville.
In the letter, which was published by News4Jax, TIAA Bank’s executive vice president, Mark G. Baum, writes that controlling interest of the bank will be sold to new investors and will change its legal name to EverBank. The company requested that TIAA Bank Field be renamed EverBank Stadium.
It’s a blast to the past for Jaguars fans, who watched their team play at EverBank Field for nearly a decade before it was renamed TIAA Bank Field in 2018. Prior to that, the stadium had two stints with the title Jacksonville Municipal Stadium and nine years as Alltel Stadium.
In the years since the stadium became EverBank Field in 2010, it has been referred to as “The Bank” by fans. Even the team has embraced the nickname, selling “Bundle at The Bank” ticket packages. With EverBank set to take the title again in Jacksonville, “The Bank” moniker stands to stick around.
