Big changes could be in store for Georgia-Florida game. The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party may become the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Festival.
“We have to take the Georgia-Florida game and turn it into something that resembles a National Championship game,” Gator Bowl Sports President and CEO Rick Catlett told 1010XL Jax Sports Radio. “The events that go on around Georgia-Florida need to significantly be enhanced. It’s a nice tailgate party in the pavilion area, but it needs to be all down the river.”
Gator Bowl Sports serves as the umbrella company which organizes and manages the Georgia-Florida game. Catlett’s vision for the game extends beyond a one-day event.
“You’ve got to create a three or four day festival around it. Friday all day you’re going to have to have special events going on. When you go to the NFL Experience (at the Super Bowl) it’s not just a tailgate party. It gives people an opportunity to go to the facility, touch the game, touch the sport, but it also gives all the people coming in from out of town major entertainment, parties, events,” he said.
Lotta shite they are talking about in the article is already happening independently, but it looks like Jax might ramp the week up even more...

I'm not going to be getting a room in/or spending any money in Jacksonville. Like you said, that area around the stadium sells itself.
