Not really fair to Georgia fans though

From the FL/GA state line on I95 its about a 5 minute ride to the Jacksonville City Limits.

And I think the Egg Bowl should be played in a neutral state. Maybe a high school stadium in Kenner, Louisiana. See how much sense it makes for a neutral fan to have a say in where a game is played?

Well seeing as how both stadiums in the OP are in home states, I don’t see how your logic compares at all.

I don’t think it should be in Jacksonville every year. Maybe do one year at Mercedes Benz stadium and the next year do it at Everbank stadium.

Why not just Home and home? The home stadiums hold 20K more seats than their respective pro stadiums.

Jacksonville is as SOutheast as you can get. Home of Skynyrd, Molly Hatchett and host of other things. It's where a Southern rivalry needs to be.

It’s not the same. With the game on campus the recruits get to see the campus, the town and experience the atmosphere inside the stadium on game day.
I’ve loved going to Jax for the cocktail party but it’s time to move this game. If UF wants it to stay in Jax they can keep it there on the years they are the home team and they will get the vast majority of the seats.
I didn’t agree with moving the game at first. But, after thinking it over I now agree with Kirby that we are missing out on another home game every other year, revenue for our merchants and a great recruiting opportunity.
Jax has let things get difficult for the fans. Poor traffic management, surly stadium staff, long lines to get into the aging stadium. And forget about getting a drink or food at the concessions. The employees are understaffed, poorly trained and really don’t give a damn that the lines are backed up for a couple of aisles.
The reserved parking is expensive. I paid over $100 and got a place I could barely get my vehicle into. Could hardly open the car doors to get in and out as we were so jammed in.
I vote for home and home. And as soon as possible

Let me try again, then. How about we change the Egg Bowl to Vicksburg?

My point was that neutral fans should not care, nor should they have a say in where a game between two teams is played. Most fans of Georgia and Florida are good with it being in Jacksonville.
Personally? I don't care where it is played as long as the location does not give on or the other team a big advantage.

Why are Mississippi fans so interested in where the Ga./Fla. game is played, anyway?

I will not tolerate this Daytona Beach disrespect

Bobs Steak and Chop House is a solid choice on Amelia Island as well.

Go read his comments this past year. He’s fine with it. His whole thing is recruiting; he’s been told it’s not moving and to let it go. Outside people do not realize how much this game means to certain people. The new contract with Jax, will likely pay each team 6M per year plus expenses.

It means that much to Jacksonville, Nort Fl, and Coastal Georgia.

It will not move.

GUARANTEED.


We will most likely get a home and home coming up soon for 2 seasons, because if the new Stadium being built . But that’s it.

It’s pretty simple though.. don’t schedule a P5 away game or Neutral site game in years when you are the designated home team. It’s a scheduling issue. It doesn’t matter when you are the away team , because you wouldn’t have the home game anyway. But in years when you have 3 SEC home games and Jax. You should absolutely have 4 OOC games at home.. to have any less is just dumb!
