The relationship will now include a second concession stand at EverBank Field and extend the partnership for an additional two football seasons.

ARC Group will continue to manage a concession stand in the popular “Bud Light Party Zone,” and will now also manage a concession stand in Section 118, located at the south end of EverBank Field.  Both concession stands will be open during the Jaguars’ preseason home games, the Jaguars’ regular season home games, the Florida/Georgia college football game and the Gator Bowl.
