AEW is officially parting ways with one of its most iconic venues—at least for now.

Daily’s Place, the open-air amphitheater in Jacksonville, Florida that served as the spiritual home of All Elite Wrestling, will be unavailable through at least 2027—and possibly well into 2028.

The closure comes as part of the Khan family’s “Stadium of the Future” redevelopment project, which will connect Daily’s Place to EverBank Stadium, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars. According to current projections, the entire area will be under construction beginning after a scheduled concert next week, with completion expected sometime in 2028.

The venue is owned by the City of Jacksonville, while Shad Khan’s Bold Events manages day-to-day operations. With the project impacting both Daily’s Place and EverBank Stadium, even the Jaguars will temporarily relocate, planning to host their 2027 NFL home games at Camping World Stadium in Orlando—a familiar location for wrestling fans as the host of WrestleMania 33.

For AEW, the loss of Daily’s Place is more than logistical—it’s deeply symbolic. The venue was more than just a stage; it was a lifeline during the pandemic. Starting in March 2020, with the world locked down, AEW taped nearly all of its shows at Daily’s Place—including Dynamite, AEW Dark, and several pay-per-views—until touring resumed in summer 2021.

The company last used the venue in October 2025 for a special Title Tuesday edition of Dynamite and a Collision taping, marking what may be its final events in the space for several years.

AEW’s connection to Daily’s Place helped define the brand during its most uncertain days. With the venue now going dark, the company will have to forge ahead without the home-field energy that once carried it through a global crisis.
