re: Why does Georgia play Florida in Florida every year

I keep hearing that’s gonna be Georgia’s first casino...

I’ve actually heard that too, but not from any legitamite sources. There’s an argument for either side though.

For- The heavy traffic that comes up and down 95 year round, Spring Break kids headed to and from Florida, WLOCP, Daytona 500, Daytona Bike Week etc.

Against- The powers that be in Kingsland, St. Mary’s and Woodbine don’t want to see real growth in Camden County. The largest Nuclear Submarine Base in the country is there in St. Marys, and there is zero entertainment in the entire county that keeps those 18-22 year old sailors spending their money in Camden. Those kids go and spend millions collectively down in Jacksonville every year at bars and strip clubs.

Not to mention, I would think Atlanta would be a much better casino market.
