Money talks..bs walks

Tampa will be a fun weekend.

[Top Row Dawg]

I know one thing, I am going to game earlier this year that sucked taking so long to get in, missed half of 1st quarter.

[FeralDawg]

Yep. Dawg fans can celebrate Guavaween in Ybor City if it's timed right. Loads of whores in skimpy costumes showing off their funbags for beads while everyone gets drunk.

Don't like it one bit. Might as well move next years ole miss, texas, and bama.... the heck with us season ticket hjolders aand all those dawg fans that love home games in Sanford........

[690 S Lumpkin]

Pathetic decision

[ToccoaDog]

Athens retail community is probably not happy about the Athletic Association negotiating away the revenue they get from a home game weekend, and instead sending it to Atlanta.

[McDonoughDawg]

Not seeing how this is involved with those games at all..?  Care to expound?

[redpantsdawg]

If the game were to be played home and away, it wouldn't go back to Jacksonville; both fan bases would demand it. They know that and $$$$'s is why it is Atlanta and Tampa. Seems like a premature decision given we don't know what the scheduling model is going to look like after 2025. Either way, I was done with Jacksonville a long time ago. Jacksonville hotels fleece the Georgia fans. I hear some parking lots are charging $120 a car on gameday to park. I paid $35 to park at Alabama and $25 to park at Texas by contrast. There is nothing like going to Athens for a game and other campuses to watch the Dawgs win. Too bad we won't be able to do it at the Swamp in Florida.

we could have had a home game instead of ATL, they don't care about season ticket holders, who would rasther have a home game, i know its all about the $$$$$.

Have you ever booked a hotel room in Athens for a game weekend?  Athens hotels redefine the term "fleecing".  I have never paid more than $30 to park in Jacksonville for the game.

Georgia/Floriday in Jacksonville is a great tradition and a great time for the fans.  It is like a bowl game in the middle of the season with the added benefit of being a huge rivalry game.

Nope, I can drive to Athens just like the Gators do for Jacksonville.  If you like taking away a chance every other year to showcase our program on our home turf against our biggest SEC rival in the name of tradition and because you have a great time, then the announcement should make you happy.  For me, I see a home game against Florida would be more fun and a better the atmosphere than all our other home games.  I would also like to see us get revenge on the Gators in the Swamp for what they did to us in 1995 in Athens.
