A recent survey pegged the cost of taking a family of four to Jacksonville Jaguars games at about $1,465, counting tickets, parking and concessions — in the middle of the pack in the NFL. And if there's a universal complaint among professional sports fans, it's the high prices of food and beverages. The Jaguars are giving their fans some relief at EverBank Stadium for the 2026 season.
The Jaguars announced a "Fan First Favorites" menu for home games on Aug. 13, beginning on Aug. 21 with the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers (7:30 p.m.), with food and beverage options for $4.99 in the general bowl area, plus the Gallagher Clubs East and West. Among the items: hot dogs, popcorn, pretzels, nachos, candy, 16.9 oz. water and, yes, 12 oz. select domestic beer. The Fan First concessions will be at four stands on the Main Concourse level, and in the Stadium Classics areas of the upper East and West Clubs. In addition, club seat holders will get complimentary snack items that will vary from game to game. According to a Jaguars release, the program was developed "to provide added value to Jaguars ticket holders for the 2026 season." Only the lower bowl (about 43,000 seats) will be open this year because of stadium construction and parking, auto traffic and foot traffic will be affected. The value menu, the release said, is a "precursor" to the previously announced food and beverage model in the Stadium of the Future, which is scheduled to open for the 2028 season and will offer local food items and pricing "comparable to what is found in the marketplace." Jaguars will continue to allow outside food “The Fan First Favorites menu offers an array of fan-favorite concession items at a great price,” said Jaguars President Mark Lamping in the release. “From the beginning of the Stadium of the Future planning process, the Jaguars set out to create a better fan experience, including the variety and price of food and beverages. We're proud to begin delivering on that commitment this season.” Jaguars season ticket information The Jaguars will continue to permit outside food to be brought to the stadium provided it is unwrapped and placed inside a one-gallon clear plastic bag, and two 16.9 oz. factory-sealed water bottles.
