The Jacksonville Jaguars want to build a new stadium to replace TIAA Bank Field, which isn’t exactly one of the NFL’s premier venues. On Wednesday, the team released renderings of their stadium plans, which look fantastic.
It also looks eerily similar to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood where the Rams (and Chargers) play their home games.
There are similar architectural aesthetics on the exterior, like the smooth, rounded shape, but particularly with the canopy roof that allows sunlight to come in without making fans in the stands too hot. There isn’t an infinity screen hovering above the field, but there are screens all around the venue with an open-air feel, too.
The best is yet to come in Jacksonville. Take an exclusive first look at our vision for the Stadium of the Future.#DUUUVAL

Fans couldn’t help but notice the striking similarities to SoFi Stadium.
It's gonna be nice obviously but it looks like someone just cheated off the plans for SoFi Stadium and changed it just enough to not get caught by the teacher. https://t.co/81MK2APh1R

This looks like a Sofi Stadium clone, but I’m not complaining https://t.co/mw0EXleWKU

This looks just like SoFi Stadium in LA. But it would be a game changer for Downtown Jax as a whole https://t.co/q4JkNHvo9r

1. This looks great and looks like a mini @SoFiStadium
2. Great for Jacksonville
3. @AEW could benefit greatly from this (new ppvs or Dynamites or Rampage) #DUUUVAL #AEWDynamite https://t.co/X5MC49d7WJ— Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast (@kenny_sports) June 7, 2023

#Jaguars want to add a canopy – (like SoFi Stadium) to their stadium as part of their massive stadium overhaul. https://t.co/ahsE0F8dxG
