The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially completed the first phase of extensive development plans by moving into their new $120 million, 125,000-square-foot practice facility and team headquarters next to TIAA Bank Field.
Housing two full-size grass practice fields and one indoor field, the Miller Electric Center is complete with locker rooms, training and medical facilities, office space, and a draft room, while fans can enjoy shaded public viewing stands, concession areas, and a team store.
Jags owner Shad Khan was among the team executives on hand to officially open the building on Tuesday. The facility will host the Jags’ training camp next week.
Christening the state-of-the-art practice center is just the first step in the team’s long-term plan to build some of the best overall facilities in the NFL. Proposed stadium renovations could surpass $1 billion in costs — adding a canopy and even a shaded roof to the team’s current home.
One loose thread: The Jags still have to sort out the challenge of where to play games during stadium construction.
