Jaguars unveil world’s largest video boards July 26 with country music’s biggest superstar, Carrie Underwood coming to EverBank Field

“We are thrilled to make this already-exciting evening even greater with the addition of Carrie Underwood,” said Shahid Khan, owner of both the Jacksonville Jaguars and Fulham FC. “This will be an historic evening for our community and a memorable experience for fans of the Jaguars, fans of soccer, and fans of Carrie Underwood. It’s really three major events in one evening in Jacksonville, and I know Jacksonville will respond and celebrate like no other city in the nation.”

The evening will begin with a 6 p.m. friendly match between Fulham and D.C. United. Following the match, at around 8 p.m., the new stadium video boards will be officially unveiled for the first time. The HD video boards will be the largest in the world, measuring 60 feet high by 362 feet wide. Following the unveiling, at around 8:30 p.m., Underwood will take the stage for a 75-minute concert.

Tickets for the entire evening – including the soccer match, the unveiling and the concert – will be free to Jaguars season ticket members as part of the Jags365 program. Each season ticket member will be able to request the same number of tickets for July 26 as are in their Jaguars account. Any season ticket members who have not yet renewed for the 2014 season may do so before Sunday, May 11. More information will be provided to season ticket members at a later date about how to register for tickets.

For anyone who is not a Jaguars season ticket member, tickets for the evening will be available for purchase. More information including pricing will be provided at a later date.

Underwood was the winner of the fourth season of “American Idol” in 2005, launching the Oklahoma native’s career into superstardom. She has sold more than 15 million albums world-wide, has 18 #1 singles and won six Grammy Awards.

As announced on April 25, the soccer match will be part of preseason preparations for Fulham in advance of their 2014 season, while this will be a midseason friendly for D.C. United.
