OK, at least that's a start. So far we have:

-Vegas
-Home and Home
-Alternating between Everbank and the new Mercedez ATL thing


What else?

Didn't they play a bowl game somewhere in the Bahamas last year?

Let's play it there one year.

Enh, we should have some fun with it. Play it in an NFL stadium in a Big10 state so the locals can actually go to a good game for once. :)

And risk offending the jax loyalists who can't even take the sticks out of their asses for one second just to brainstorm some harmless ideas???

Are you crazy?!

Alternating between EverBank and M-B Falcons Stadium would be the only acceptable alternative to staying in Jax. That's a bucket list game iI need to do.

UGA @ UF is a bucket list game for me. So is UF @ UGA. Unsure why so many are in love with the town of Jax.

However, I've gone on record many times saying that the ooooooooooooooooooooooooooonly way it should EVER be changed (and this obviously will never happen) is if some billionaire nutcase built a stadium directly stradding the state line so that our fans sat in Ga and theirs sat in fl. Like this




I'm down. The 50 yard line sits over my hometown of Lake Park.

People on here say that you don't need an NFL franchise to build a big stadium. Just a few monster truck pulls, some concerts, and soccer games per year.

So, surely somebody could get a stadium built in Savannah somehow.........and then alternate the game between there and jacksonville.

If Savannah can handle st. patricks day, it can handle what the landing does during GA/FL. Also, the jax loyalists and fart beach kids could still stay on SSI etc with barely a longer drive to the game than before. And best of all we'll continue to inexplicably call it a "neutral site" like they do now just for giggles.

The only issue I have is that the state of florida gets all the revenue for taxes on alcohol, hotel, etc. The location doesn't bother me much. It's 4 hours closer to gainsville though.

We could get lots of leverage off this point with the Savannah stadium plan.

Any thoughts on potential stadium investors? Or certain politicians to approach with bribe opportunities?

Nice! This Savannah plan almost makes too much sense...

We can expect a war with the cartels in jacksonville over this though. They're not going to just hand over 50% of the payday without a fight.

If the Savannah stadium plan goes through, I can see many people spilling over north of the border into Hilton Head, Beaufort, etc....so this would be good for South Carolina too.

Maybe there can be a ceasefire in The-Salt-Life-War between Charleston and Savannah.........and both towns/states can join forces to take on the bohemoth of Jacksonville.

The Savannah plan could build bridges and heal old wounds!
