Fans will see the official Salute to Service logo around TIAA Bank Field and on helmet decals, cleats, towels, sideline caps and other equipment. Throughout the game, the Jaguars will salute members of the military through special in-game activations and pay homage to those who have served in all branches of the military.

JAGUARS AND NAVY MUTUAL INTRODUCE MILITARY EXPRESS LANE

Beginning this Sunday, current and former military servicemembers and their families are invited to use the new Navy Mutual Military Express Lane located near Gate 3 on the northeast corner of TIAA Bank Field.  This gate will allow expedited entry and security screening for our military members for this game and all Jaguars games in the future.   Click here to access a flyer with location information.
