About this venue
VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena is a modern multi-purpose indoor arena that brings Jacksonville’s biggest sports nights, concerts, and family shows under one roof. From the outside it feels sleek and practical, while inside it’s built to switch layouts smoothly — from ice and end zones to full-scale stages and high-impact lighting rigs.
The in-arena experience is defined by strong sightlines, an immersive “close-to-the-action” feel, and production-ready infrastructure that supports major tours. Fans also appreciate the comfort factor: well-organized entry flows, convenient food and drink options, and a layout that makes moving between sections straightforward.
You’ll find the venue at 300 A Philip Randolph Blvd, Jacksonville, United States. Getting to the entrance is usually easiest by following event signage and the main pedestrian flow toward the security checkpoints, with parking areas and rideshare/taxi drop-off zones positioned around the arena’s perimeter.

About the city: Jacksonville
Jacksonville, the largest city in Florida, has established itself as a strong hub for entertainment and major events on the Atlantic coast. Whether you’re coming for a top-level sports matchup or a concert, the city offers a blend of urban buzz, wide boulevards, and lively neighborhoods that deliver a “big-city” feel with a more relaxed coastal rhythm.
Getting in and around is straightforward thanks to JTA (Jacksonville Transportation Authority), with practical bus routes and faster connections such as First Coast Flyer, while the Jacksonville Skyway makes moving through the downtown core easy. Many visitors also point to hubs like the Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center at LaVilla as a major advantage, allowing quick transfers between multiple transport options. If you’re flying in, Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is the region’s primary gateway, and rail travelers can use the Jacksonville Amtrak Station; from both points, it’s simple to arrange a transfer to arena and stadium districts.
When the ticket isn’t the only reason to visit, Jacksonville delivers a great “tourist bonus.” Walk along the St. Johns River and the city’s Riverwalk, stop by the Friendship Fountain, and enjoy waterfront views that look especially good in the evening. For a slower pace, neighborhoods like Riverside and San Marco are ideal, and if you want sea air before or after the event, nearby beaches offer an easy Atlantic escape.
