10,000-capacity JAX Amphitheater debuts at Jacksonville Fairgrounds

Less than a week before JJ Grey and Mofro were due to take the stage and open the new Jacksonville Amphitheater, crews were busy installing railings and a new robot mower sat in a corner, ready to go to work on the lawn that will soon seat thousands of fans. The amphitheater is on the backside of Duval Hall , the multipurpose venue at the new Jacksonville Fairgrounds. It makes its debut Thursday night, when Jacksonville's own JJ Grey & Mofro take the stage on opening night of the Jacksonville Fair. With a capacity of 10,000 fans, it's the largest purpose-built outdoor concert venue in the Jacksonville market. It holds roughly twice as many fans as the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, and Daily's Place , the downtown Jacksonville amphitheater that is closed this year and next due to EverBank Stadium construction. It's not much smaller than the indoor VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, which can seat around 12,000 for a concert. The fair runs for 11 days , from Nov. 5-15, and there will be a concert in the amphitheater every night.
