In addition to being home to the Jacksonville Sports Hall of Fame, the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena also houses some of the area’s finest sports teams; the AFL’s Jacksonville Sharks, the ABA's Jacksonville Giants, and the Jacksonville University Dolphins men’s basketball team all currently reside there.
