One of the most memorable parts of the Florida vs. Georgia football tradition is the tailgating.
Whether it's cooking or decorating, these fans do not become complacent -- because bragging rights are always on the line at Florida-Georgia.Pockets of Gators and ‘Dawgs fans mix together on neutral ground and celebrate side-by-side.The RV trip to Jacksonville is an annual affair for many fans, and spots are already sold out. That’s why a line of RVs has been waiting to get into the lot for days.
Entrance is on a first-come, first-served basis, and spots are assigned once campers enter the lot. That means a Georgia fan could end up parked between two Florida fans -- or vice versa.That arrangement has made both RV City, and the parking lots on gameday, an iconic experience as fans enjoy their tailgating time next to their rivals -- and often try to outdo each other with decorations, cooking and more.
“The biggest request that we can ask is that any fans attending the game, please be at the gates, ready to go, either shortly after the team walks at 1:30 or at 1:30 when gates do open,” said Mike Kenny, general manager of ASM Global, which manages EverBank Stadium. “There is a clear bag policy in effect, and we will also have metal detection screenings at the gate.”This is Jacksonville’s 89th year hosting the rivalry game, which is one of the greatest traditions in college football.
The Gators are 22-11 vs. Georgia dating back to 1990, but the overall record between the teams depends on who you ask.Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at EverBank Stadium.
