Re: [gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] [SUN]: Florida-Georgia game ready to re-up stay in Jacksonville

I was only able to attend one and that was in 84 I believe. The Gators got waxed the week after being named #1 in the nation. I was one of the drunks but it was after the game. This was actually the game that started my reexamination of how much I invested mentally in Gator football.

I agree.  I had quit going to the game because of the drunks.  It is too bad that they ruined it for so many people.

This game is good for Jacksonville, good for the SEC, good for college football.

Especially, since they've cut down on the drunken brawl it once was.

It was fun calling it the World's Largest Cocktail Party, but it really was always too over the top.

Go to Hell, Georgia!

The new five-year deal to keep the Florida-Georgia football game in Jacksonville that was signed by officials from both schools more than a year ago is about to become official.

The new contract has been sent to the city of Jacksonville for final approval, which is expected to come perhaps as early as this week, according to sources close to the situation.

During original negotiations between the schools and Jacksonville, the city lobbied for a 10-year deal, but Georgia wanted a shorter term and all parties eventually agreed on a five-year contract in March of 2016.

The game will continue to be played on the final Saturday in October, running through the 2021 season.

The terms of the contract call for both schools to receive as much as $2.75 million in incentives over the next five years, and a $125,000 payment once the contract is finalized by the city.

Each school is guaranteed $250,000 annually through the 2021 season, in addition to ticket revenue.

Additionally, each school's travel budget for the game has been increased under the new deal.

UF makes $3.4 million each year from the game.

The rivalry annually attracts 138,000 visitors to Jacksonville, generating $35 million for the city's economy.
