Sporting Club Jacksonville announced it sold over 6,000 season tickets as the team is set to make its inaugural season is set to kick off next month. Sporting JAX says, because of this demand, the club will move its public on-sale date for single-match tickets from August 1 to July 24. The club also announced that each home game at UNF’s Hodges Stadium will feature a theme night.
“We’ve been floored by the incredible response from the First Coast community since launching our season ticket sales in April,” says Sporting JAX President and CEO Steve Livingstone. “With rising demand and only 9,400 seats at Hodges Stadium, we want everyone to have a chance to be part of this historic first season. But our club has always stood for something bigger than soccer, and our themed match nights reflect the spirit of the First Coast to ensure every fan feels seen, inspired, and connected.”
