About VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena

VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena is an indoor multi-purpose arena located at 300 A. Philip Randolph Blvd in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. Opened on November 28, 2003, it was built on or near the former Jacksonville Coliseum site and is owned by the City of Jacksonville, managed by ASM Global, and named through a rights agreement with VyStar Credit Union. The arena can hold up to approximately 15,000 guests for concerts, with configurations that adjust for smaller shows and sporting events.

The arena is Jacksonville’s primary indoor arena and the largest indoor concert and event venue in the city. It serves as the region’s main stop for major touring acts and arena-scale events while also hosting professional wrestling, NCAA and basketball events, comedy, ice shows, circus-style productions, and monster-truck-style entertainment. Resident sports tenants include the Jacksonville Icemen of the ECHL and the Jacksonville Sharks of the National Arena League.

Set alongside EverBank Stadium and 121 Financial Ballpark, VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena is a central part of Jacksonville’s downtown sports complex and is known for its modern multi-purpose bowl that can shift between concerts, games, and family-show setups.

Location & Transportation

VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena is located at 300 A. Philip Randolph Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32202 — in the Downtown Jacksonville sports and entertainment complex on the east side of the city near the St. Johns River.

Driving and Parking: On-site and surrounding surface lots within the sports complex serve the arena, with parking shared across the adjacent stadium and ballpark district. For high-demand concerts, games, and family events, arriving early is the best move because lots can fill and exit traffic can be heavy after the event.

Transit: The arena is served by Jacksonville Transportation Authority bus routes, with the Skyway and downtown transit connections nearby. Transit can be useful for guests already staying or gathering in the downtown core, especially for events when sports-complex traffic is expected to build.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are widely used because of the arena’s downtown complex location. After large events, expect longer waits and designated staging areas while crowds move out of the surrounding district.

Nearby Accommodation: Downtown Jacksonville and Southbank/Riverside hotels offer the easiest access to the arena. Additional lodging is located near the riverfront and downtown core for guests planning a full event-night stay.

Venue Navigation

VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena uses a standard indoor arena layout, with the event floor at the center and seating levels wrapped around it. Understanding the concourse and bowl structure before you arrive helps you choose the right entry plan and move more efficiently once crowds build.

Entrances and Access: Main entry points serve the arena bowl from the surrounding complex plaza and concourse areas. For large concerts, hockey games, indoor football games, and family shows, guests enter through arena access points that feed into the main concourses.

Concourse Levels: The arena has a lower bowl and upper bowl surrounding the event floor, plus suite and club levels. Concerts can add floor seating or floor general admission, while sporting events use the bowl around the ice, court, or playing surface.

Accessibility: ADA-accessible seating, parking, and restroom facilities are available throughout the arena. Guests using accessible seating or parking should allow extra time for arrival on high-demand nights.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and event staff direct guests from the main concourses to their sections. Because the arena includes lower, upper, suite, and club areas, checking your section before you enter the seating bowl can help you head to the right level quickly.

Dining Options

Inside VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena

Concession stands inside VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena offer standard arena fare, with alcohol available at most events. Suite and club ticket holders have access to premium or club food service. As with most busy arenas, concession lines can grow close to showtime, during intermissions, and between periods, so building in a little extra time is helpful.

Outside the Venue — Downtown Jacksonville and Southbank

Outside the arena, downtown Jacksonville and the nearby riverfront and Southbank dining districts offer restaurants and bars within a short drive or rideshare. These areas are practical choices for a pre-event meal or a post-event stop when traffic around the sports complex is still clearing.

Security & Policies

VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: A clear-bag policy is typically enforced at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, with size limits and small permitted bags. Packing light and using a compliant clear bag helps make the entry process smoother.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras, and similar restricted items are generally prohibited. Items deemed a safety risk by venue security can also be restricted at entry.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is generally not permitted once guests exit the arena. Event-specific rules can vary and are shown on the event listing.

Entry Procedures: Expect bag checks, metal detection or security screening, and digital ticket verification at entry. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets speeds entry at the arena entrance.

VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena Seating Guide

VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena has a bowl-style seating layout that changes by event type, with floor seating added for concerts and the lower and upper bowls used for concerts, hockey, indoor football, and family shows. Knowing how the lower level, upper level, club areas, suites, and floor options relate to the stage or court helps you compare value, sightlines, and proximity before buying.

Best Seats at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena

• Best value: Upper-level sections are typically the most affordable seats, giving fans a broad view of the full arena and a budget-friendly way to attend concerts, games, and family events.
• Closest to the action: Floor seating for concerts and lower-bowl sections nearest the floor or ice put you closest to the stage, court, or playing surface.
• Best overall experience: Lower-bowl sections along the sides offer strong sightlines and atmosphere for both concerts and sports, balancing proximity with a clear angle on the event.
• Premium and suite options: Suites and club seating serve premium buyers and groups looking for upgraded service, privacy, and a more elevated arena experience.
• For groups: For popular concerts, family shows, and weekend games, coordinating contiguous seats early gives groups a better chance of sitting together in the same section and row area.
• General admission: Some concerts offer floor general admission, while most events are reserved. GA floor setups give fans festival-style flexibility near the stage when that layout is used.

Getting Ready for Your VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a downtown arena that shares a busy sports and entertainment complex with nearby stadium and ballpark traffic.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service may be congested during sellout events. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Sports-complex lots can fill and downtown traffic can build for high-demand events, so give yourself extra time for parking, walking in, and security.
• Wear the right footwear. VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena is a standard indoor arena with concourses and stairs between levels, so comfortable shoes are useful for walking to your section and moving between concourses.
• Dress in layers. The arena is indoors and climate-controlled, but hockey events can feel cooler near the ice.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. For major concerts, games, and family shows, traffic around the downtown complex can slow arrival and departure.
• Know your entrance. Look at your ticket for your section before arriving; knowing the closest entrance and level helps during large, well-attended events.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
