DAILY'S PLACE AMPHITHEATER AT EVERBANK STADIUM
Daily's Place Amphitheater at EverBank Stadium is an amphitheater located in Downtown Jacksonville, Florida. The venue is connected to the south end of EverBank Stadium and shares space with a "flex-field" indoor practice facility for the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League. It opened in May 2017, and seats 5,500 spectators. Since 2019, the amphitheater has become nationally known as the home base for All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Naming rights for the venue were secured by Daily's, a local convenience store chain.
Daily's Place has been the home venue of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), a professional wrestling promotion that, like the Jaguars, are primarily owned by the Khan family.
On July 13th, 2019, AEW hosted it's streaming live event Fight for the Fallen 2019 at Daily's Place. On March 18th and 25th, 2020, AEW temporarily moved it's weekly television program Dynamite, as well as it's web series AEW DARK, to Daily's Place, due to cancellations of it's traveling broadcasts due to the ongoing worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. The tapings were held behind closed doors with no outside spectators; they used non-competing wrestlers and crew to serve as the live audience. After over a month's worth of television tapings were done at an "undisclosed location" to prevent fans from showing up (later revealed to be the Nightmare Factory training complex in Norcross, Georgia), AEW returned to Daily's Place to hold it's pay-per-view event Double or Nothing 2020 on May 23rd with TIAA Bank Field hosting a Stadium Stampede match as the main event of the PPV, re-located from Las Vegas due to the pandemic and travel restrictions at the time.
From that point on, Daily's Place became the AEW home base, with subsequent episodes of Dynamite, DARK and AEW PPVs originating from there during the pandemic period, with fans returning during the summer of 2020 at first in a limited capacity and then gradually increasing as time went on. The promotion returned to live touring on July 7th, 2021, though AEW continues to periodically return to Daily's Place for events, promoted by AEW as their "Homecoming" shows. The most recent one happened in January 2024 when AEW returned home to tape the January 10th, 2024, episode of Dynamite and the January 12th, 2024, episode of AEW Rampage from the venue. The last Homecoming event marked the first time AEW had been at Daily's Place since October 2022, although it was the first Homecoming special since 2021.
