Pools, sun and Jaguars football in Jacksonville

EverBank Stadium, the Jaguars' home on the St. Johns River, is famous for the swimming pools and cabanas in its end zone — a fittingly sun-soaked touch for Florida's northernmost NFL city, now mid-transformation into the “Stadium of the Future.”

Fan tip: Early-season heat is intense — shaded upper decks and hydration matter, and the beaches are a short drive for the rest of the trip.
