    I attended an Icemen Ice game here at the VyStar Veterans Memorial…read more We love coming to the arena; especially since it's new!!!! The old was terrible! Everyone here is friendly. It's easy to navigate around while inside to find restrooms and places to eat. It's easy to enter the arena and navigate up to the seating areas. Once the venue is over it has easy access to the escalator to get back to lower level to exit out. The parking lot across the street is great and has easy in and out for small vehicles and pickups. * My only complaint is when I drive the bus for church (40 passenger motor coach bus) to an event here at the arena it's hard for bus drivers to drop off and park and then enter in to attend with their group and then go back to the bus and then come back to pick everyone back up. Bus parking is hard here unless I just haven't been communicated properly where to go.

    One thing I like about vystar are the shows. the place always seem to to get great shows. also…read moreare the seats. i always get the club level seats. once you are in there, you really can't leave unless you show them your tickets again. but they have food, the bar, comfortable seats in the lounge area. very nice. went and saw gabriel iglesias last night and show was fantastic. always a good time when you go to the arean

    When the Jacksonville Sharks are playing (our arena football team), Jacksonville Veterans Memorial…read moreArena is turned into Sea Best Field. The "field" or "arena" is pretty darn amazing and they do an awesome job at converting it. The field is 50 yards long (with maybe another 5 yards for each end zone) and is narrow. There's protective padding up around the entire field to not only protect the players, but also to protect the fans who happen to be sitting in the first row (or even first few rows). Nets are up at each end zone which allows the ball to bounce back in. Although, sometimes it does get past the net and into the crowd, but it's always thrown back in. They have a very nice jumbotron in the center which is very clear, but it's not really necessary b/c for these arena football games, there's not really a bad seat in the house. Concessions are, of course, astronomical. We paid $19 for 1 soda, 1 beer, and 1 order of nachos. Yea.... like I said... astronomical. But you are at a sporting event, so do you really expect any thing less?! =) I can't compare it to any other arena football "fields" because I haven't seen any others, but this one is pretty darn cool, so when and if I ever do see another one, it'll have a lot to live up to.

    Sea Best field is the home of the Jacksonville Sharks, our hometown Arena football team. Veteran's…read moreMemorial Arena is converted into Sea Best Field, which is a fifty yard field with padded walls surrounding its entirety. The walls serve as protection for players and fans alike. The small size of the field allows for fans to see the action on the field clearly no matter where their seats are located. The jumbotron in the center of the arena is a decent size and is very clear. The goalposts are much smaller and it became obvious that extra points weren't going to be simple to come by, as the Sharks kicker missed two PATs right off the bat! The concession prices are well..sports event prices ($5.00 nachos, $6.00 soda in souvenir cup with $1.00 refills on day of purchase, and a $8.00 bottled beer). I highly suggest eating before hand if at all possible, unless you have extra money set aside for the game! We hope to attend another Sharks game in the future!
