The Jacksonville Jaguars have named Zane Collins senior vice president for live entertainment, effective Sept. 29, as work continues on the team’s planned “Stadium of the Future.”
Collins will oversee programming, booking and event management for the stadium and Daily’s Place when the venues reopen in 2028. His role will cover live entertainment planning at both Jacksonville facilities.
He joins the Jaguars after serving as senior vice president of live entertainment and events for the Florida Panthers, Amerant Bank Arena and FTL War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale, according to a Jaguars news release.
Collins also brings prior Northeast Florida experience. From 2014 through 2021, he worked for ASM Global, now Legends Global, as assistant general manager and Southeast regional booking director. In that role, he directed programming, operations and revenue initiatives at Jacksonville sports and entertainment venues.
Jaguars Chief Operating Officer Chad Johnson said in the release that Collins’ experience executing major events will help the organization’s plans to bring large-scale concerts, sporting events and cultural programming to Jacksonville.
