JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – RV City opened Tuesday morning to Florida-Georgia fans, marking the official start of the annual festivities.
After lining up for days to get the best spot, fans entered RV City at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Fans from both sides gather for what many describe as more than just a football game – it’s a family reunion.
“Oh man, I love it. This is awesome. I’ve been here since Wednesday,” Rusty Shortridge said. Shortridge said he’s been coming to this matchup as a Florida Gator fan since the 1970s.
This year’s game marks the temporary end of an era, as the rivalry will temporarily move away from Jacksonville after Saturday’s contest. The game will shift to Atlanta in 2026 and Tampa in 2027 while Jacksonville’s “Stadium of the Future” undergoes construction. The matchup is scheduled to return to Jacksonville in 2028.
