There are as many fans in the So GA/No Fl area as there are Gators
While not very "scientific" (it's based on Facebook likes), this suggests that state boundaries play a huge role in fanbase. There are a lot UGA fans in South GA, yes, but Jacksonville isn't in South GA, it's in North FL. That map suggests 4x as many UF fans as UGA fans in Jacksonville. That holds true all the way to the GA border. There's even a zip code in South GA that claims to have more UF fans than UGA fans.
I don't think the game should be moved, but I also don't think the current site is neutral. I don't think it puts our guys at a disadvantage. Sucks a little bit more for our fans to travel. But tradition outweighs that. Keep it in Jax

Does Tifton have a big enough stadium?

Mine is not 'scientific" either. Just based on the 20+ years I lived in Southeast Georgia and the 12 years I lived in Jacksonville. I think I have a pretty good point of reference.
There are a lot of young ones in South Georgia who will pull for UF or UA, just to be different and get attention. And some because they are the unfortunate offspring of drunk UF fans. But the large majority are Dawgs.
