We invite you to stay with us at Real Escapes Properties and make a day trip to Jacksonville to witness the coveted rivalry game this October!
The Rivalry Begins
The annual Georgia vs. Florida game is one of the most famous games in college football. The first-ever match was held in 1904, although there is some contention if it counts since the University of Florida was not officially established as the institution it is today. The first agreed-upon game was held in 1915 at a baseball field in Jacksonville. It wasn’t until 1933 that Jacksonville became the permanent site for the rivalry, bringing in more crowds due to the neutral location. In fact, the Georgia-Florida football game is one of the only games that is played on a neutral site today.
