Why do so many people not see what can be done in one location CAN BE DONE IN THE OTHER?

If this is how you think, you're honestly not even worth really continuing on the conversation with. The whole ambiance, aura, and tradition that makes that weekend what it is isn't simply based on a map and the distance from each school's home campus to the playing field.

Atlanta wouldn't roll out the red carpet for Georgia/Florida (if the game moves, I will never call it the WLOCP again because the WLOCP part of it will vanish) like Jacksonville does.

And once again, Jacksonville allows stuff that week/weekend that Atlanta, Athens, or Gainesville wouldn't even consider.

Because one location is on the border between the two and the other is closer to Cincinnati than Miami or Fort Myers.

I could see if the game was played further south in Florida, but it is right on the border.

There is no reason to.

It’s a 90 min plane ride for the dawgs
It’s a 90 min bus ride for the gators

They both stay in hotels in Jax area.
Jacksonville pays all expenses.

The stadium is split 50/50.

There is no disadvantage at all.

The only people it affects are those traveling from north ga, but the game is a sellout every year. So once people stop going , you can move it!
