Thousands headed to EverBank Stadium for Saturday's Florida-Georgia game, continuing the 90-year tradition.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Florida-Georgia game brings fans from all over to the First Coast and with it comes a huge economic boost for the city.
Hours before the sun rose Saturday morning, cars stretched around EverBank Stadium as college football fans waited to start the party in Lot J. “I’ve been here since 1 in the morning. I’m here because I’m a die-hard Florida fan. Florida Gators by a million.” Across the street fans were waking up in RV City, many spent nights parting in the makeshift city waiting for game day.
“We make gator friends all the time, they come by here they stop by, they eat with us, were friends, but come game time, everybody’s on there side, go dogs.”The city of Jacksonville reported a $35million economic impact from last year’s game and businesses around the bank are expecting to see the same boost this year.
