Report - Georgia, Florida mull neutral sites for rivalry game - ESPN

29.10.2023 - 17:01 espn.com

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Don't expect Georgia and Florida to play their annual rivalry game on campus sites anytime soon, if ever again.

The Southeastern Conference heavyweights are exploring options to hold «The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party» at other neutral-site venues during the two years that Jacksonville is expecting a $2 billion renovation to EverBank Stadium and the surrounding area.

Although they haven't completely ruled out playing a home-and-home series in 2026 and '27, administrators are focused on letting cities with NFL-ready stadiums bid on the game, according to two people familiar with the planning.

The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the process hasn't been formalized or finalized. The next move is contingent on Jacksonville's city council approving plans for a stadium overhaul that also would force the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars to play home games in front of a reduced capacity (roughly 40,000) in 2026 and elsewhere in 2027.

Can you trust someone seriously who dabbles in such unserious behavior — particularly when we went 4-5 last week? And are 3 under .500? But if we go on a heater — starting with these 10 — then who's gonna have a Happy Thanksgiving? WE ARE! So let's do that. OK? All right.
