Jags stadium survey reveals fans’ support for shade and stadium renovations

The results are complete from the survey the Jacksonville Jaguars sent out in April, which asked mostly season ticket holders to give them details on what they wanted to see during the team’s upcoming renovations. As expected, aside from a winning team, the number one request was shade. This comes as no surprise — the bulk of the Jags’ home games take place in the afternoon, when fans have to sit through notoriously sweltering Florida heat.

On Tuesday, 1stDownTown revealed the results of the survey, which was recorded through 5,842 responses. Of those who responded, 89% of fans said they would support renovations, and 81% said shade for every seat in the stadium was important. Additionally, those who responded believe that shade or a partial roof should be the most important addition that comes with the renovations. Most of the people interested in season tickets (77%) felt that shade was “very” or “extremely” important in their decision to attend games.

Airflow in the stadium was also something fans deemed as “very” or “extremely” important, and wider concourses were identified as an area of improvement.
