JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jaguars fans learned on Friday that EverBank Field will be known as TIAA Bank Field starting next year. And unlike team officials, they weren't thrilled about the news.
To no one's surprise, many fans aired out their displeasure on social media, which we all know from experience is the best place to vent your unfiltered thoughts.

Some of the criticisms were mild, particularly from those who have continued calling the stadium the Gator Bowl, despite its other monikers over the years:
Still Gator Bowl to me. Doesn’t matter.

"This can't be real," HayleyMarie12_ said on Instagram. "EverBank certainly flows off the lips better," Lathrop6point_o said.
