==Near-total demolition==
The historic structure was almost entirely razed in 1994, as part of a massive remodeling effort which essentially built a new stadium. The new stadium was renamed Jacksonville Municipal Stadium (known as Alltel Stadium from 1997 through 2006, EverBank Field from August 2010 through June 2018, and [[TIAA Bank Field]] since June 2018). Almost none of the original infrastructure remains, except for the west upper deck (which washad been added in 1982) and the ramping system. While Jacksonville Municipal Stadium was being constructed, the [[Florida–Georgia football rivalry|Florida–Georgia game]] alternated between the two schools' home stadiums, with Florida's [[Ben Hill Griffin Stadium]] hosting in 1994Gainesville (whichhosting alsoin hosted the [[1994 Gator Bowl]]) and Georgia's [[Sanford Stadium]] hosting in 1995. The game[[1994 resumedGator theBowl]] followingwas yearalso held in Gainesville. Both games returned to Jacksonville the following season.
