By a unanimous 16-0 vote Tuesday in the Jacksonville City Council, the Jacksonville Armada has taken another step toward building a soccer stadium near the sports complex.
The Armada debuted as a North American Soccer League team in 2015, playing their first game in front of a league-record crowd of 16,164 at TIAA Bank Field. For the first two years, the team played the majority of its home games at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. In 2017, the team moved to UNF’s Hodges Stadium.
Having a home stadium controlled by the team and not shared with other tenants is generally considered a vital piece of a soccer team’s plan for stability. The ability to schedule games when fans are more likely to attend helps drive attendance and owning the parking and concessions rights, as well as the ability to sell the naming rights of a stadium can make a huge difference in the bottom line for the team.
