Planning

How to plan the trip

The order that saves the most money and the most stress.

  • Lock the date first. Kickoff windows move, dates rarely do.
  • Book refundable lodging before buying tickets, because rooms sell out faster than seats.
  • Compare seat locations, not just price. Shade, wind and aisle access matter more than a few rows.
  • Confirm the venue bag policy and payment rules before you leave the hotel.
  • Plan the exit. Rideshare pickup zones are usually several blocks from the gates.

The venue

EverBank Stadium

Capacity 67,814Opened 1995Jacksonville, FL

The NFL stadium on the St. Johns River that has hosted the Florida vs Georgia neutral-site game for most of its modern history, with the seating split between the two schools.

  • The stadium sits next to downtown, so the walk from riverfront hotels is short and the lots are worth skipping.
  • Seating is split by school, so buy through the correct allocation if you want to sit with your own crowd.
  • Afternoon kickoffs in Jacksonville stay warm into November. Shade side is worth the upgrade.
