JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- The Jacksonville Jaguars and city officials have broken ground on the second phase of a $90 million upgrade to EverBank Field, which will be called Daily's Place.
The new complex adjacent to the stadium will feature an amphitheater and a multi-use, indoor practice facility.
Jaguars owner Shad Khan says "these new facilities are part of our ambitious vision for the future of downtown Jacksonville as a world-class sports and entertainment destination."

Daily's multi-year partnership includes the naming rights sponsorship for both the 5,000-seat amphitheater and the 94,000-square-foot indoor facility.
