Jacksonville Sharks News Release


The Sharks are back! We're ready to open up our 2015 home schedule against the Orlando Predators this Friday, April 3. Kickoff on Sea Best Field at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena is set for 8:00 p.m.

The Sharks have faced their in-state rivals more often than any other team in the AFL, and the good guys hold a 7-4 edge in the all-time regular season series. But the Sharks will be out for revenge this week, as Orlando swept all three meetings during the 2014 season.

Redneck Night

If you're new to the Sharks, our Theme Nights are designed to take the overall game experience to a new level, as the music, on-field promotions and merchandise are tailored to fit a particular theme. This week, we open up our schedule with Redneck Night, as cutoffs and jean shorts are in style and country music will fill the air!
