They are currently members of the Southern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Jaguars, along with the Carolina Panthers, joined the NFL as 1995 expansion teams. For decades, Jacksonville had earned a reputation of being a good football town, hospitable for both college and pro football. Every year the city hosts the Gator Bowl, an annual civic highlight traditionally accompanied by parties, ceremonies, parades and other events leading up to the game. The annual University of Georgia vs. University of Florida game is also played in Jacksonville. Alltel stadium sits on 10 acres of land and has a capacity of 76,877 fans. ALLTEL Stadium is used primarily as a football facility but does host other events including monster truck shows and concerts. It is also well-known for hosting college football, including "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" each year between Florida and Georgia and the annual Gator Bowl which pits teams from the Big East and Atlantic Coast Conference. In December 2005, ALLTEL Stadium hosted the first of two consecutive ACC football championship games. The stadium, originally known as Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, was built on the foundation of the former Gator Bowl Stadium. Construction started January 3, 1994 and the new stadium opened on August 18, 1995. Total construction time was under 20 months and total cost was $134 million, $60 million of which was provided by the city of Jacksonville. ALLTEL Stadium's opening day was also the home debut of the Jaguars during the 1995-1996 NFL season. It as the first time that an expansion NFL team had played its first game in a brand new stadium. In 1997, the stadium changed its name to the current ALLTEL Stadium after naming rights were acquired by ALLTEL, a telecommunications company best known as a wireless carrier.
