EVERBANK FIELD LOGO INTRODUCTION:On Sunday, September 12, at the Jaguars’ season opener, the Jaguars will introduce the EverBank Field logo to fans during pregame activities. The same day, fans will see the first EverBank Field signs installed since EverBank and the Jaguars announced a multi-year strategic partnership that includes the naming rights to EverBank Field.
