Last night was my 2nd time attending a show at Daily's Place. This is a least a 4 star venue due to size, convenience to get to (boat, car, etc...). I find the seats to be comfortable and in good condition. The staff all were friendly and willing to help with a question or just say hello! Not that I went to the show for food but you had a very good selection to choose from if you were to engage in eating at the venue. Saw Styx, Kevin Cronin & Don Felder. All acts were good but especially Don Felder & Styx! If you have an opportunity to see a show at Daily's Place I recommend.
Daily's Place was awesome. The entire staff from the cashiers, to the tour guides down to the security officers were all extremely helpful during this fun family friendly event. The food at each station was prepared fresh and there were plenty of options for everyone from burgers to pizza to nachos. We toured the locker rooms to get a behind the scenes view and everything was neat and clean. I'm looking forward to attending more events here.
I came here tonight to get our Praise and Worship on with Elevation Worship. It is a great venue, but I question some poor decision-making. It's clear you go through a screening process to enter the venue, and then you are subjected to the highway robbery of concession prices. What puts insult to injury is that even after spending a mortgage payment for a bottle of water, we are not permitted to take the very bottle of water we purchased in the venue to our seats. The usher provided a cup to pour the contents of the bottle into. Absolute poor decision making!
The outdoor vibe after a rainy afternoon made for the perfect breeze. I have been to many summer concerts here and it is stiffeling! Now on to the best part Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald and RobertCray Band. Oh and 4 th row seats! The music and friends made the evening perfect!
Our visit here to see Rod Stewart had both great highs and seriously bad lows. I'm partially disabled but don't always require a wheelchair. That particular evening, unfortunately, it was a must. There was a separate entry for those concert goers needing assistance which was nice to see and made going through the safety checks and crowds a breeze. We paid a lot to get good seats, not knowing that the venue was small enough and structured so that most every seat was a pretty darn good one. Live and learn. We were directed to our seats and realized then, that although we were extremely close to the stage, we were the only section that was created by adding folding chairs and all were located at the same grade. So if someone, anyone or everyone stood up your view was GONE. Considering I had to remain seated, - I saw nothing. If I had the ability to stand, most of the stage would still be obstructed by the crowds. Seats further back all were graduated so it was so much easier to see everything. We had no choice but to abandon our "premium" seats and retreat to the area reserved for wheelchairs. During this transfer and any visit to the restroom, the staff and visitors I encountered were gracious, helpful and went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of. Thank you to all. And the big disappointing experience? When Rod Stewart emerged on stage, many concert goers rushed to their seats, some not knowing where they even were. There was a backup of folks, confusion, and loud disruptive conversations. What a mess. We could not even enjoy the first couple performances because of this. Considering the age group we expected to see, we were shocked that some mature guests behaved like selfish children, with no concern that they were disrupting the enjoyment of other concert goers. Is it that hard to be seated before the performance? Once we changed to the different section, we did encounter some staff that were not so knowledgeable about the amphitheater and ramps for the disabled. One young man said stairs were my only option and so we struggled through. On our way back, my husband easily spotted the ramp we needed to take to get back to the wheelchair section. Educate your staff. Please. No one would have believed Rod Stewart was 80 years young. He had great energy, a strong voice and still busted out some cool moves. The various instruments like the sax, the violins and the harp could be heard with great clarity. We thought the sound quality was awesome. Twenty one songs and four costume changes. He truly was and still is a legend. We would definitely return here in the cooler months to enjoy a concert or two.
Great seating for good views can get tight if it is a packed house. Very little air gets in so bring your fan it can get hot. Sound is good next time I will get loge seating for more breathing room.
Summer concert season kicked of with my 1st Tedeschi Trucks Band and 1st visit to Daily's Place! Free parking in lot J alongside the venue was very convenient. The property is well maintained and clean. Staff working this event were courteous, helpful, friendly and professional. Shoutout to Nicole working as one of the floor level ushers for her kindness along with here fellow employees! Excited to be returning in July for another concert and enjoy this venue's concert experience!
Finally had the chance to go to a show at Daily's Place, and wow!! What a great venue!! Getting dropped off in an uber was a hot mess (same as Vystar Arena) - does nobody uber here?! We got dropped off in the literal middle of the street and ran across traffic to the gate. I had no idea this was connected to the Jaguars football stadium. What a fun surprise. The set up is so cool and like no other venue I've seen before! This is similar size to one of our favorite venues, Stage AE in Pittsburgh, so I was excited to find a new spot that I plan to frequent. There were SO many concession stands open in Daily's Place and also Everbank Stadium. We even walked out right next to the field and could take photos. I have never been to the stadium before, so this was really exciting for us! We went in the club level and took photos of the field and stadium before the show started. The ushers helped us find our seats for the Dirty Heads/ Slightly Stoopid concert and we were surprised to have actual seats! I thought it would be standing room. The show was so good and the sound was great. The giant fans kept the air circulating despite it being very hot and lots of people smoking. The view of the sunset over the palm trees in the distance was the perfect scenery to a beautiful summer outdoor concert. This was one of my favorite shows and memories from being in Jacksonville. We had such a great time! We did get popcorn and a water, and it was pretty wild to scan your credit card, take the concessions, and leave. It knew what we ordered! The future! Drinks are expensive as all stadiums are, but we had a great time. Loved seeing local Brackish Vodka there too! They are the best! 5 star experience and 5 star venue.
This is my second event at Daily's. I literally think any seat in this arena is good from the upstairs seating to the front row seats. The arena is a good size, and has a great selection of drinks and food. Parking is very convenient. My recent event I went to started at 7:30, so I left my house at 6:30. I had about a 30 minute drive, but I was still able to get parking super easy. I got inside the arena with time to spare. The two events I went to was the Erykah Badu and HER concert. With the Erykah Badu, a storm came up which required the staff to have us evacuate to the eating area due to lightning being close. It was a little chaotic, and once thing leveled off we had to all get reseated. It cut the show short, but that's the risk with and outdoor event. With the HER concert, everything was great from parking to seating. It was a great show and the staff was very nice at the arena.
Such an amazing experience last night, that I am so grateful for my friends inviting me as I have never purchased a VIP ticket to a concert. The venue offered special parking for the VIP guest. The type of ticket we had allowed us to receive a swag bag, a question and answer session with the artists , then a pre show with appetizers and drinks , and then seats right next to the stage. All employees were wearing masks and all the areas we were in were cleaned... The bathrooms had an attendant who was in the bathroom to ensure the restrooms were sanitized. This is a large venue with multiple bars and eateries for their guest. They are are a rain or shine venue.
Nice outdoor seating area. You can tell everything is still new and clean. Every seat is a good seat. Organized for the most part and easy to find. Location- 1 daily's place Jacksonville Florida 32202. The amphitheater is open and outdoor. I was able to watch the AEW with my man. The theatre was spacious and clean. I thought the lighting for the event was awesome and the sound system was perfect. I guess the way how the theatre was built was made for great sound quality. The seats were pretty comfy as well. They also had a separate section for vip which was pretty spacious. My favorite part was definitely as I mentioned seller the special effects were awesome as well as the stage. The only thing I would say is some aircon cooling fans since it was outdoors and we do live in Florida were its always humid and hot for the most part.
Really nice quaint venue we saw Sting. Due to weather conditions our concert was delayed, not so nice for Florida daily storms. Give it a minute it will blow over. Nice selection of food and beverage. The acoustics and performance was excellent. The restroom area was melting hot even with fans blowing . Overall it was clean and nice no complaints. The price of concert was the best out of his performances so we made the drive . Well worth it, he is 70 and sounds and looks the same as the 80's when he sang!
Daily's Place was awesome. We went to AEW event, it was great, we got to see the big Shaq O'Neal wrestle Cody Rhodes. We had awesome seats up in the Terrance Suites. The food was great, the environment and scenery was unmatched. I think this place is a cool place to go watch concerts and events.

We explored Daily's Place in downtown Jacksonville, Florida and it is a really impressive outdoor entertainment venue, even if you're just walking around and not attending a show. We didn't get to see a performance, but exploring the area still made it worth the stop. The layout is open and modern, with a great mix of stadium-style structure and open-air design that gives it a unique feel compared to a typical indoor arena. Even just as a walk-through experience, it's a solid spot for photos. read more
I have been to this venue a lot. I usually attend concerts here and have the opportunity to do events security here as well. This video is from 2018 when Welcome to Rockville used to be held at this venue. There was a lot of folks there in attendance that day. It was an awesome experience as well. Five Finger Death Punch decided to perform that day. I like their music as well. It was toasty that day as well. It's a shame that there will be no events held for the remainder of the year at this venue due to the stadium's on going construction. I'll be glad when that ongoing construction gets complete. read more

Three stars because there were ups and downs about attending 311 with the Offspring and Gym Class Heroes here. Pros: Ample parking and close drop off point for Lyft/Uber drivers. Spacious concession area with fans blowing and relatively clean bathrooms. Variety of beverages, snacks, hot food, and hard liquors. Something for everyone. Small venue!! Loved the intimacy of the pit and how close the balcony levels were behind us. Security guard Phillip was the man!! He took care of me after I fell and was the reason I bounced back. Friendly cashiers and bartenders also. Cons: Not labeled well outside. We arrived early with VIP tickets and had no idea where to go. We asked the Offspring VIP tent for guidance, and they kindly pointed out the will call window for our special wristbands. Afterward, we had to ask them where to enter. There was a security booth with two entrances yet one line... We had no way of knowing! Drink prices were kind of ridiculous. $19 for a double without garnishes. $6 for bottled water that unbeknownst to everyone wasn't even allowed inside. We were stopped and forced to pour inside of cups before re-entering. Very misleading. It was hot as balls with the sun setting upon the pit and I couldn't rely on the water bottle I paid for to keep me hydrated. Stage was tall and set back a bit from the pit because of the speakers and subwoofers. I prefer being closer to the artists. Despite the cons we still had an incredible time and would definitely revisit this venue. Live and learn situation for sure. read more

I saw Wyclef Jean in concert last night. This was my first time in the amphitheatre and I was impressed. All the seats were positioned well so there's really not a bad seat in your house. I like that it's a smaller venue which makes it a more intimidate experience. Not many food choices which was a little disappointing. But the loaded nachos for $5, did the trick to kill my hunger and didn't break the bank. They also served pretzels and hot dogs. Plus, since it's Daily's you can find chips and candy, etc. Drinks are very pricey. It's like you are at a Jags game. Premium beer for $12. Top shelf double shot drinks for $19, which was only two dollars more than the bottom shelf double shot drink. So it was a no-brainer! The ladies room only had one soap dispenser working which was annoying. But at least there was toilet paper and the bathroom was pretty clean. The music was masterfully blended and sounded amazing! Kudos to the sound team and engineers who worked this concert! I will definitely go back to Daily's Place for another show! read more

DA BOMB! Ernie and I went to Tedeschi Trucks Concert on a summer late afternoon/evening. This place really has it together and is highly organized, clean and prepared for events. They had huge misting fans for when you needed to be cooked down for a minute or two. The seats were great and the view was excellent. This was my first visit to Daily's and hopefully not the last! read more
I'm sorry, I really wanted to like this place. The location and the venue is nice but unfortunately the acoustics are HORRIBLE. Maybe everyone is so caught up in the fact that it's shiny and new with all the 5 star reviews but all I remember from this experience was the poor sound quality. I get it, it's connected to the stadium and they wanted to have the offering of "suites" with food for premium pricing. The problem is everything is made of concrete so it's a big bounce house of sound. Amphitheaters are usually "open" so sound is optimal for concerts. This is literally the worst venue for concerts (if you care about the actual music). It reminded me a lot of the Jacksonville coliseum in the 90's. How in the world did an engineer arrive at this poor excuse for a MUSIC venue? Pros - free parking, location, and concept CONS - acoustics and overall execution read more
Four stars off the bat for an amphitheater unlike any I've come across in my day! Most amphitheaters in Florida all look the same. Usually at a fairgrounds style piece of land that stretches way back with lawn seating. Daily's strategically constructed a venue with no bad seats in the house. Instead of expanding backwards, they built vertically to create a stadium seating setting, as if you're at a concert hall or a large auditorium. *And for the love of god, the entire amphitheater is covered* Hey rain, go ruin someone else's concert! In partnership with Everbank Field, you know there were no expenses spared. Daily's has an in-house Daily's convenience store inside the venue. How freakin' neat! The downside? You're paying stadium prices, instead of gas station prices. $7 for a slurpee? C'mon now, that's straight up crazy. The biggest thing I was worried about was the actual sound of the venue. How would some of these big name bands come across in this environment? I come bearing good news, the music sounds fantastic! Especially when Deftones grace the stage. Overall, I'm really impressed after one visit. I hope they continue to book big tickets acts to keep the momentum flowing. Let's keep Jacksonville on the map, Daily's! read more
Tailgate Partys..Great Seats..Free Parking Yes yes yes. Loving this new venue. I parked right in front of the entrance and just walked in! My seats were comfortable and noticed several seating options to choose from. Places for groups, some had couches, others high back chairs and they seem to have food servicers beckoned at their call. Everyone is friendly and hardly no wait at the restrooms! Yes I really enjoyed this new venue and look forward to coming again soon, with a PaRtY!!! read more
My first time at Dailys Place was a success! I came here with my husband to watch Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds. Let me start off by saying every seat is a great seat! The way it is set up instead of the seats and sections extending back and outwards they are stacked more or less so our section was over the top of the section below us. I added photos to try and capture this but of course pictures do not do it justice. Dailys Place is attached to the EverBank Jaguar Stadium. It is covered but not enclosed. All of the EverBank Stadium rules and regulations apply to Dailys Place as well. For example, the bag requirements are hand size clutches and 12'x6'x12" clear bags. Steps and escalators are easily accessible. From the moment we walked through the gates each Dailys Place employee greeted us with smiles and welcomed us like we were guests staying in their homes. There were lots of areas set up selling alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages and food. One of my favorite features to Dailys is that they have a mini Dailys set up in the middle on the ground level that sells items you would find at the Dailys gas station, coffee, candies, assortment of snacks, sofas etc. There were plenty of restrooms available throughout and employees in case you have a question. Overall, our experience was absolutely fantastic and we know we are in good hands when we return! I highly recommend this place! read more
I had the opportunity to experience this venue on the opening night for Tedeschi Trucks Band and all I can say is "wow"- what a nice addition for Jacksonville! It was opening night so there were some kinks to be worked out (no ash trays, parking issues, uninformed staff, etc) but overall we had a great experience. We were fortunate to have front row seats so our view was amazing, but there isn't a bad seat in the house. The sound was amazing and the location can't be beat. I look forward to many more concerts here in the future! read more

We came here for the Incubus and Jimmy Eats World concert. Parking here is shared with the stadium behind it. That gives this venue lots of parking space directly connected. The short distance from the entrance gave to the seats is an added plus. This venue has an equal amount of food vender stands to beverage stands. Both are very much over priced. That is same as all amphitheater venues in the u.s. This place has the best Wi-Fi I have ever encountered at any venue since Wi-Fi became a public need. Look forward to seeing the full potential once construction is complete. read more
A great venue to enjoy concerts. First, it's easy to get dropped off by uber or park in front of the amphitheater. As you walk past the security spot, they are friendly, accommodating, and expedient. Ushers are plentiful and happy to help you find your seat. From what I can tell, like most amphitheaters, all seats do the job. This amphitheater has specialty seating located between the lower and intermediate sections where you can sit with friends in a private section with couches, tables and a wait staff. Sound quality was great. (Goo Goo Dolls Rocked!!) Room to stand and move to the grooves. Space for your drinks and seats are pretty comfortable. Covered seating, so rain isn't a major concern. However, the design of this amphitheater has a flaw. No air flow. Look at the positioning of the stage and seats in relation to the river. Yep, it's hot. Also, the prices are ridiculous... from drinks to a $10.00 box of popcorn. Disappointing in those regards but happy to have this venue giving the city and citizens new experiences. read more

Great show last night, Sting was awesome as always. The two drink rule is so stupid - so 1 person cannot go get two "double" cocktails while the other uses the restroom so you aren't running back and forth for drinks. Super stupid rule. read more
Decided to review this place after I've been to a handful of shows in order to give a well educated evaluation. Overall I love that Jacksonville has this new amphitheater and is drawing pretty decent musical acts. I highly recommend planning a date night or group hang here! Parking is always free and included with a ticket purchase which is such an awesome feature, although the food and drinks prices are inflated to compensate (expect $17 per mixed drink- ouch). Food options are unforgettable, so eat dinner beforehand and maybe just indulge on a snack. Multiple people have complained about the acoustics here- overall I haven't had any issues with the acoustics for the main headliners, and I've never found it too loud. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to pick a middle tier/ level towards the center of the stage. The ground floor gets zero air flow. So swampy in the summer. Also the seats on the edge are penetrated by the parking lot lights which is annoying & distracting. And if it's a chilly night, the edge is the coldest. Try to get to the show early so you can take a peak from the viewing area overlooking the TIAA Bank football field- so cool seeing the empty stadium from the inside! Loved in the last year I've seen some favorite bands of mine (including Walk the Moon, 30 seconds to Mars, Counting Crows, and Sara Bareilles), plus been introduced to new bands like Joywave and Misterwives. As Jacksonville continues to grow I hope the music scene does too! read more

Yesterday I achieved a 2020s goal: finally reached the legendary Daily's Place, semi-official home to AEW! Went yesterday to watch AEW Dynamite live and the experience was worth my travel, and the few pitfalls I experienced throughout. OMG at least with the way AEW set up their staging of the ring and whatnot, sections 1, 2, and 3 are actually WAY closer to the action than is presented in pictures so I absolutely loved that and I loved having my seat at sub-section 107! Instantly my ticket purchase was worth it, and I sat in front of the entrance ramp to see the side view of any wrestlers entering through the entrance tunnel AEW set up. It really shows how creative and knowledgeable Tony Khan, who owns AEW and who's family owns Daily's Place, is when creating the setups for each AEW show. Again, the ring was like RIGHT THERE practically and I could see the action clearly, only had to turn a bit to my right. Loved the acoustics of the venue and every move, takedown, and ring bump was heard so strongly. This is how pro wrestling is meant to be presented! The top roof of the venue definitely helped more than I thought it would. It seems the overhanging parts of it trapped even a lot of the side rain so only rain must occasionally got in. That said, since it's an outdoor venue, all the pathways and walk areas to get between concessions and the venue itself are completely exposed to the elements, so on a day like yesterday when it was raining profusely, you had to sprint to get to locations within and not get too wet. That leads me to the only couple of negatives: -Daily's Place doesn't allow umbrellas inside. On top of that, there isn't anything to compensate like a coat-check for umbrellas, so the best they said we can do is leave umbrellas outside right next to the gate and hope for the best. I heard from someone I assumed had been before that its because umbrellas are "potential weapons", and while I believed the lady, I felt that was bs. Under that logic, almost anything can be a "potential weapon", and for weather like found in most of Florida, an umbrella or a poncho or rain jacket is an absolute necessity especially when standing in line for a long time. Then again as I've learned from my time here, the locals don't seem to care too much about the rain and will just rush to a location quickly to avoid most rain, or wait underneath an awning for their rides, so maybe that's the case that the umbrella need is overlooked. They either need to change this policy, build or repurpose an area for an "umbrella-check", include this rule as part of ticket purchases beforehand, or even just offer a merch stand where people can buy their own themed umbrellas and jackets to help compensation for the loss of umbrella. I did end up losing my umbrella, and it's a heavy duty high quality one from Knirps, but I wasn't too broken up about it because one of the wind-tunnel connector strings was broken, and I got the umbrella for free. I just had to deal with the inconvenience of rain until my Uber arrived, and I just considered the experience a "lesson learned" thing. That said I hope whoever stole/accidentally took my umbrella by mistake is enjoying the benefits. -the seats were fine if it was spaced-out seating, but the way the seats were built, if it's a packed arena like this was yesterday, then you're shoulder to shoulder with people, practically pressed together, which is uncomfortable after a while, but I handled it and no one else was bothered by my audience interactions such as standing up/cheering/booing/holding up my sign. One thing I gotta give to locals here is that they're quite considerate. I also gotta factor in that I didn't realize this event was gonna be as packed as it was because I thought people from out of town like myself would have saved up for the upcoming Chicago and New York shows instead. But clearly I was wrong. All in all, a very fun and enjoyable experience and I finally got to experience a piece of AEW lore in person! I would definitely come here again if finances and life events permit it in the future. Just make sure to remember the umbrella rule!! My specific situation didn't suffer much from the loss but I don't want anyone losing their nice expensive umbrellas because of making the mistakes I did. Wear a jacket/poncho instead until the Khans change this policy. read more

Great venue. A lot of room and good acoustics. Not much food choice though. 311 concert What what. God vibes great tunes and chill people read more
A great concert venue which capitalizes on being attached to the Jaguars' stadium! Having now visited a few of the bigger music venues around Florida, I love what Daily's Place has to offer. Being attached to the Jaguars' stadium definitely has its perks, since you can easily find food, drinks, and a great view of the field while you want for the bands to come on stage. Sure everything is super expensive, but you should know by now what you're getting into trying to buy food or drinks at a concert or stadium. The convenience is the key benefit here. Seating is fantastic, honestly, since they decided to arrange things vertically instead of expanding outwards, allowing even the cheapest seats to have a great view of the stage. The venue is open-air though, so just be prepared to get a little wet if a quick Florida shower comes through. Overall, I really enjoyed my last visit and look forward to my next concert here! read more
This review is not just about the fantastic concert my wife and I saw at Daily's Place, June 28, 2017 (Diana Ross LIVE); it is also about the venue and team members. The venue is new, extremely well thought out as well as covered in case of rain. We sat close to the stage and the seats were extremely comfortable. The ease in getting adult beverages was a nice change. Expensive, yes. Pleasent also. The most impressive aspect were the team members. Friendly, professional and accommodating. Ms. Diana Ross was literally flawless at 73 years old. Her band knocked my socks off. This evening will be a positive memory not soon to be forgotten. Special thanks to Anthony head of premium/VIP sales. His communication was impeccable. FYI, tonight, July 1, 2017; we will return to see Chicago/Doobie Brothers. Bravo to all involved. read more

This is a brand new amphitheater that seats over 5500 people. It's open, airy, and shares eateries and bars with the Jaguars stadium. It has concessions on the ground floor and concourse. There's even a Daily's convenience store! -- but the prices are jacked up, of course (soda bottles cost $6). All the staff from the folks checking you to the attendants helping you find your seat to the food service team we're all friendly and helpful. I like the cushiony seats, but I fear they'll get torn up over time. Every row is shifted slightly to allow for a better view, but the problem I faced was that each row wasn't high enough. People in the rows below me were still blocking my view. Overall, this is a nice amphitheater that was desperately needed for our city, especially Downtown Jax. THANKS, Shad Khan!!! :) read more

I know parking isn't open until 3 hours before show but are fans allowed to line up at venue even if parking lot is closed? Or does everyone have to wait until parking lot is open? Just worried about crazed fans lining up HOURS before
It depends. I've always experienced lines. Sometimes long lines, some short. If it's rainy the staff may open the gates earlier.
What is the food drink situation like?
They have beer, wine, mixed drinks, soft drinks. Basically anything you'd want but very pricey.
Does anyone know if it's open air or it has ac?
It's open air however, the seating is covered from the sun and rain for the most part. I went to the Train concert and there was a slight breeze.
