Between the Jaguars, the Sharks and the Suns, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office recommends you give yourself plenty of time to get where you’re going Saturday night.
The Jaguars Back-to-Football Fest starts at 4:00 in the Fan Entertainment Zone at EverBank Field. That's followed by a scrimmage game at 6:45.
Down the street at Veterans Memorial Arena, the Jacksonville Sharks kick-off their post-season against the Tampa Bay Storm. Game time is 7:00.
And, around the corner at the Jacksonville Baseball Grounds, it’s the Suns and the Tennessee Smokies. First pitch is at 7:05.
A. Philip Randolph Boulevard will be closed between Adams and Duval Streets. Pre-game traffic patterns are set to begin at 4:00 in the afternoon.
To help ease the expected traffic mayhem caused by the large crowds, the JSO says the Matthews Bridge will be open 5:00-11:00 Saturday night.
Other downtown Jacksonville events include Community First Saturdays, the Bold City 5-K run and the Girls Rock Jacksonville Showcase at the Florida Theatre.
