Competitive analysis
Competitive analysis
--------------------

With its 5,500 capacity, it is the second largest concert venue in Jacksonville (with [VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena](/wiki/VyStar_Veterans_Memorial_Arena "VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena") seating 15,000 and the [Moran Theater](/wiki/Times-Union_Center_for_the_Performing_Arts "Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts") seating nearly 3,000\). Its closest competitor, the [St. Augustine Amphitheatre](/wiki/St._Augustine_Amphitheatre "St. Augustine Amphitheatre"), seats close to 4,000\. The manager of the amphitheater, Ryan Murphy, thinks the new downtown amphitheater is a good move for Jacksonville, he feels it will not draw crowds away from the St. Augustine venue. Other amphitheaters in the metro area include:

* [Coxwell Amphitheater](/wiki/University_of_North_Florida "University of North Florida") seating 6,000 (strictly for UNF events)
* [Seawalk Pavilion](/wiki/Jacksonville_Beach%2C_Florida "Jacksonville Beach, Florida") seating 3,000
* Unity Plaza Amphitheater seating 1,500
* Riverfront Amphitheatre seating 350

Jaguars President [Mark Lamping](/wiki/Mark_Lamping "Mark Lamping") states the purpose of the venue was to aid in revitalizing the lackluster downtown area. The venue plans to host 35\-40 events per year, with many shows held around the Jaguars home games. Lamping feels this will aid in bringing tourism to the city, while its actual economic impact is unknown.

> A part of what we are doing with Daily's Place is making Jaguar home weekends bigger and more special. If there are people who attend Daily's Place who have not had the opportunity to experience Everbank Field, the design of Daily's Place allows people to interact with the stadium as part of their visit. Perhaps through that interaction it will spur some curiosity and maybe lead to a desire to sample Jaguars football.
