Smells weird down there. Like the Florida water tastes. - Brandon Boykin.

Just a pulpwood mill, Georgia has had some good players who came out of pulp wood work.

I love Jacksonville and think it’s one of the best atmospheres in college football and I never want the game moved from there...
BUT, it does smell. Kind of like what Spongebob and the gang thought of the humans in the bubble bowl.

I like the city of Jacksonville. I don’t like playing down there. It feels more like an away game.There is no real Bowl like atmosphere for the players. We drove to ATL and flew down there. Which was always a pain in the arse. I guess they fly a few planes out of Athens now, but still, it was an away game and by that time of the season You are all dinged up and the process of all that travel just sucked really. We did bus down to a hotel on home games, but away games were a grind and the locker rooms sucked. Bowl games were different, you were there for a week, no school and you had had a month off. Jax is good for our fans, but not good for our football team.

Would have to be closer to the border to make it a good analogy.
Play it in Hahira.

It’s certainly not good for the tax revenue of hotels, alcohol, food, gas, etc of Georgia. Their state gets all that. It’s not a “neutral” site if it’s in their state every year.

You dont think the Georgia coastline benefits from the game in Jacksonville?

Derp, this ain’t about your fun as a fan. This is about winning championships! Derp.. playing at home gives us the best chance to win and winning Championships is all that matters!! What are you, some sort of mediocritist* or something?

I am willing to be in the next 10 years it'll become and home and home game.

Jacksonville, I could careless eitherway. Probably is about money and how much jacksonville pays. Covid revenue issues may make it hard for Jville to continue, we shall see.
Always prefer college football home and home.

Does the amount of money Jax pay out way a home game?

Teams split revenues from the WLOCP equally. The city of Jax throws each team a big chunk of money. The TV revenue for each team is bigger.
If you average the normal income for a home and away series the WLOCP pays each team about 50% more, every year.
Fans won't go to Athens or Gainesville every year for a weeks vacation. My guess is the game will stay in Jacksonville for a long time.

When did this happen? CBS guarantees the 3:30 slot for the game but has never kicked in extra revenue for a specific SEC schools.
More about exposure than anything else.

Oklahoma fans don't bitch about playing Texas in Dallas every year.
This game should stay in Jax from now until the end of time, and I was saying this before I moved here last year.
Jax really, really needs to do something about downtown though. It is absolutely terrible with nothing to do. Riverside isn't far away but people who don't know to look for Riverside wouldn't ever find it.

Likewise. It is the most unique rivalry event in college football whether you go to the game in Jacksonville or not. There are plenty of Dawg fans who party down all along the Georgia coast leading up to the game. I would guess that our state gets roughly half of the extended revenue associated with the event.

Smells like a bad beach motel's tap water
Just throughout the entire city.
