Zane Collings Named SVP, Live Entertainment for Jacksonville Jaguars

Industry veteran Zane Collings has joined the Jacksonville Jaguars as senior vice president, live entertainment where he will manage a team overseeing programming, booking and event management for the team’s Stadium of the Future and reopened Daily’s Place.

Collings most recently served as the senior vice president of live entertainment and events for the Florida Panthers, Amerant Bank Arena and FTL War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale, leading to the execution of more than 250 events annually. He also served as assistant general manager and Southeast Regional Booking Director of ASM Global from 2014 to 2021, involved with multiple Jacksonville sports and entertainment venues including EverBank Stadium.

“Zane is one of the most respected leaders in the live entertainment industry, with a proven track record of driving business development, creating compelling event programming and delivering exceptional client experiences,” said Jaguars Chief Operating Officer Chad Johnson. “He has overseen the successful execution of major events at some of the most competitive venues in the country, and we are thrilled to welcome him back to Jacksonville. As we prepare to open the Stadium of the Future and continue growing Daily’s Place programming, Zane’s leadership will be instrumental in fulfilling the vision set forth of attracting world-class entertainment and bringing large-scale concerts, sporting and cultural events to Jacksonville.”

EverBank Stadium, the Jaguars’ home turf, is undergoing a $1.4 billion renovation, which will see the Stadium Of The Future debuting in 2028. The stadium is currently at reduced capacity during the NFL season to allow for phased construction. Daily’s Place Amphitheater, set to reopen in 2028, is currently closed for programming throughout 2026 and 2027, as construction plans will see the venue connected more cohesively to the stadium.

In the role, Collings will provide strategic insight into the entertainment and external events operations during construction of the Stadium of the Future and manage a team overseeing the programming, booking and event management for the reopened Daily’s Place and the newly opened Stadium of the Future for 2028 and beyond.

Collings also spent more than 23 years with ASM Global including in New Orleans overseeing the post-pandemic events recovery for Caesars Superdome, Smoothie King Center, Champions Square and others, as well as the seven years in Jacksonville. Prior to his stint in Jacksonville, Collings worked in events and entertainment with ASM Global in Reading, Pennsylvania.; Saginaw, Michigan.; and New Haven, Connecticut.

Collings is a two-time International Entertainment Buyers Association (IEBA) Venue Executive of the Year nominee; OVG Alliance Booker of the Year winner; Academy of Country Music Arena of the Year nominee; and International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) Venue Excellence Award for EverBank Field (now EverBank Stadium).
