Boats will be set up on the football field, on the concourse, and in sections of the parking lot.

“In the 19 years of boat shows we have produced, this is the first time we will be set up inside a football stadium,” said Jacqui McGuinness, JBM’s president. “We are appreciative of the support from the stadium’s management and the City of Jacksonville to help us pull off this major feat. The use of the stadium brings an entirely new level to the show and will showcase the region’s best boat dealers and their products in a big way. It will definitely be an amazing event.”

JBM plans to offer free attendance to those visiting the marina displays and will provide shuttle service between the stadium and the marina. The stadium portion of the event will be ticketed and will host more than 70 vendors selling marine- related products and services, family-friendly activities and hundreds of beautiful boats for sale.
