Jacksonville Sharks News Release
The Sharks are back in town! We're ready to host the Tampa Bay Storm on Saturday, July 25. Kickoff on Sea Best Field at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena is set for 7:00 p.m.
This week's game will be broadcast live to a national audience on ESPNEWS, and the Sharks would clinch a playoff spot with a victory over the Storm. We're expecting a sellout crowd, so get ready to be loud and show America what Shark Nation is all about!
Whether you are a longtime Season Ticket Holder or about to head to your first Sharks game, please see below for a rundown of what to expect at the Shark Tank on Saturday!
Star Wars Night
This week, we take a trip to a galaxy far, far away in the return of Star Wars Night! The 501st Legion Florida Garrison Squad 7 will be on hand to help us ward off the invaders from Tampa Bay!
Want to get your picture with members of the 501st Legion? We'll be holding a meet & greet from 5:30 - 6:45 on the Main Concourse, behind the elevator across from Section 106.
Please note that plastic light sabers WILL be allowed into the arena. May the Force be with you!
Animal Awareness Night
We are proud to team up with First Coast No More Homeless Pets for Animal Awareness Night. FCNMHP will be on hand at Saturday's game to collect donations of dry dog and cat food. We encourage our fans to help us help them in their mission to end the needless killing of pets in our local community.
Donations will be collected at FCNMHP's truck at SharkFest, at the Duval Street Entrance, as well as the FCNMHP table located on the Main Concourse

We will be providing FREE rally towels for Saturday's game courtesy of our friends at Darley's Plumbing!

Bridge Closure
On Saturday night, there is a road race that will impact the Acosta and Main Street Bridges.
