The Georgia vs. Florida Football Game is Here!

It’s that time of year again, and the annual Georgia vs. Florida football game will kick off on October 29th, 2022. The rivalry began in 1926, and every year tens of thousands of fans head to Jacksonville, FL, to witness one of the most prominent games in college football. 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.
