Grew up in GA, went to UGA, know tons of UGA grads.
I'd say split among them for home and home vs. Jax is 50-50.

Jekyll Island and St. Simons Island see a big boost in the economy. Glad its in Jax for that reason.

So you went to UGA yet your post history indicates that you despise us. What gives?

Not sure I get the "even UGA fans" part. We've always wanted it down there. The idiots who wanted it moved when we started losing are the EXTREME minority and do not represent our fanbase. 95%+ of UGA fans want and have always wanted it in Jax.
you have spent most of this thread speaking for Georgia fans while insulting those you disagree with. Some would appreciate change occasionally and some love Jacksonville. Both sides are still real fans.

yeah i assume alumni with jobs and kids dont really enjoy it being in jacksonville. but they probably understood they had their hayday back in college so that weekend isnt really about them anymore.

Why don't they do a 3 year rotation?
@UGA, @UF, @Jacksonville
I would actually like to see this. Probably not for the rest of time, but for like a one time thing, this would be a cool rotation to do.
It would be cool to see UGA play at the swamp and UF between the hedges at least once. Then go back to Jax.

Iron Bowl was much better in B'ham.
The only thing about the Iron Bowl there that was good was the 50/50 split. Everything else sucked.

This happened in 94 and 95. Spurrior hung 50 on us in Sanford. And the braves won the WS that night.

I honestly didn't know they liked it that much either. Sounds like a blast though! Would like to go one year. It needs to be in Panama City, though (except for the whole non-stadium issue).

The ones that I know with kids are counting down the days till their kids leave the house so they can go back. Everyone and I mean everyone loves it being in Jax.

Damn, I wasn't really old enough to fully appreciate that.

It was Goof vs TOBC. Not a whole lot to appreciate

maybe they love the game and the atmosphere, but Jacksonville blows

Well, yea, obviously the game wasn't that great, but seeing UF between the hedges would have been awesome.

I got my first degree from Auburn.
I don't really hate UGA.

50/50 split anywhere in Alabama, is better than the current arrangement. All other factors are negligible in comparison, imo.
