Crew prepares for fast field turnaround
EverBank Field

Jacksonville Jaguars



JACKSONVILLE, Fla. –

After the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, crews must prepare the field to host the Gator Bowl the following afternoon.

The quick turnaround means crews will have a long night.

“Essentially, from the moment the Jaguars game ends until the gates open for the Gator Bowl game, there will be different activities taking place, breaking down one and prepping the other,” said Tracey Evans with SMG, which runs EverBank Field.

Evans said the company has executed turnarounds like this before, but a NFL game before a college game makes it unusual.

Plus, because it’s a bowl game, there are extra events going on inside the stadium, meaning more work.

“The two end zones will say ‘Jacksonville.’ Not Jaguars, not taxslayer,com. We’ll just change ‘Jacksonville Jaguars’ to a taxslayer.com logo,” said Evans.

Evans said her group has been meeting for moths in preparation.

“What you would typically do from Sunday to Saturday we’re doing in about a 15 hour period. Is that doable? Of course it is,” she said.
