Your opinion on this matter is both wrong and stupid


What makes playing Jacksonville so appealing? It favors Florida. They’re 80 miles away.
Jax is no great shakes as a host city.
No one outside of old UF-UGa fans care about the event formerly known as WGOCP.

I don’t get it.

Cause it doesn’t involve your school and you’ve never been.

Those who get tickets every year love it and don’t want it moved.

The ones who want it moved is because they don’t qualify for the tickets or have to buy after market to go.

It is as neutral as you can get.

One of the largest UGA alumni associations is in Jacksonville
The schools make more money than ACC each than they can every other year.. 3M more.. and it’s going to 4.

It’s a 90 min bus ride for UF
It’s a 90 min charter out of Athens, by the way paid for by Jax.
The stadium is split down the middle
Both teams stay in local hotels and ride busses to the game.

It is not a home field advantage and anyone who says so , has never gone.

Plus it brings a ton of money to the Georgia Coast, which really needs it.

I can promise you all the rhetoric about recruiting and home field and any other excuse ; is pure crap.

It is all about access to tickets.. they only care about what they get to do; not what’s best for the program... And I can promise you the large donors out of south ga are not the ones to piss off!

This is a game you don't understand unless you've been. It's not just another neutral site game, it's much bigger than that. Would be disappointing to see this end.
