Why are the Jacksonville Armada suddenly ghosting everyone on their promise to build a new stadium?
In 2025, the Jacksonville Armada received approval from the city to start building its new $18.2 million stadium. The owner of the Armada even pledged to move his real estate firm to Jacksonville to be close to his new soccer stadium. Nothing happened. In late 2025, the Armada announced that a new owner has bought the team. The new owner claimed that “he still intends to build a stadium.” But he never gave a starting date, completion date, or timeline of when Armada would be joining their MLS Pro league. Furthermore, this change in ownership was never finalized.
