Jacksonville Sharks News Release


The Sharks are back in town! We're ready to host the New Orleans VooDoo on Saturday, August 8. Kickoff on Sea Best Field at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena is set for 7:00 p.m.

While all eyes will soon turn toward next week's playoff showdown in Orlando, we're ready to close out the regular season in style tonight!

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!

80s Night

This week, we will play tribute to the unique music and style of the 1980s in the return of 80s Night! Saturday's game will feature a pair of live performances to help us celebrate this theme!

A fan favorite during his performance last year, Jacksonville's own Will Harden will return to the Shark Tank this week. Keep an eye out at halftime as Will takes the field and performs some of Michael Jackson's greatest hits!

The 1980s weren't just about the King of Pop, though. We're going to crank it up a notch after the game, as AC/DC tribute band Shot Down In Flames will play a FREE live postgame concert!

Fan Appreciation Night

As we close out another regular season of Sharks football, it's time to give back to YOU, the loyal members of Shark Nation. As part of Fan Appreciation Night, we will be offering 50% off select items at the Merch Stand, located on the Main Concourse near Section 106.
