The program includes the addition of "four-person tables just outside the Bud Light Party Zone," as well as "eight-person chalets on the Terrace Suite deck overlooking the south end zone." The Jaguars "will have 20 of the four-person tables and it will feature all-inclusive food and beverage." The chalets also will have "all-inclusive food/beverage service and a sign in front of the chalet promoting the company that purchased it." The Jaguars said that this kind of option "is the first of its kind in the NFL." To facilitate the chalets, "a new row of seats in the Terrace Suite will be installed" (JACKSONVILLE.com, 6/23).
