Neutral Site JAX/ATL??

Yeah.. Buc.. I like the tradition of it. Not shy about admitting that.

On top of that... the Dome is a horrible venue. Tailgating there is an exercise in
futility.

I know we've let other traditions go, and survived it just fine. Just because I want to
keep this one tradition doesn't mean I think we should have kept Abuurn and UGA in
Columbus. I'm willing to part with some traditions for progress, but that doesn't
mean I want to part with all of them.

I know the vacationers have the money and the time to go down to their places in Jekyl
and St Simons whenever they wish, but that doesn't mean they don't still enjoy having
one of those 4 day weekends be centered around the UF/UGA game.

Plus as I was reading this thread I kept noticing people give "well I've always thought it
wasn't truly neutral" and such as their reasoning.

Well, my question still stands unanswered: How is the game itself not neutral if
both sides get exactly half the tickets, and each sells their total allotment to
their own fan base?

Gotta come up with a better reason than that one, because it doesn't fly with me that the
game itself isn't neutral. So what's our second reason for wanting to change it?
That it would add something to Atlanta's economy every other year? I have to be honest
here... I don't care about that very much when it's opposing the traditions of the game,
some of which I will always want to hang on to.

I wouldn't be overly upset if it ever changed... not at all, but that doesn't mean I want
to aggressively pursue the change.

Not too hard to come up with a site or sites that would hold and promote tremendous tradition. Also would alleviate some of the other thoughts as to why or why not. Home and home, seems to be working with the change of venue between Abuurn and Georgia. Just a thought.

Seem to remember Thomas Davis on the same wave length as some. Somehow got the feeling that he meant even though the game is basically just across the Georgia/Florida line, the mindset changes when leaving ones home state. Don't know, UGA has had many victories in JAX, LSU does not seem to have a problem with it at this point. Meaning playing on the road, out of town, another state.

Folks like us won't determine such things, know that the last few years there seems to be more controversy over the site. Losing as we have in JAX in the past few years could very well be the reason for attitude change. All of us football worshippers are fickle to a point, that I guess is what makes the game what it is.

We don't like the offense, defense, uniforms, players, coaches, school presidents, athletic directors and the list goes on and on. We however have not taken it to the point of poisioning trees. Just another topic for us to play with.

"Losing as we have in JAX in the past few years could very well be the reason for attitude change"


That's exactly why many are up for the change, but I remember when the trend was UGA kicking
UF's butt every year, so I don't think the venue has a thing to do with the recent results.

Had a been a home and home for all this time; I doubt the past 20 years results would have been
much different.

If it were to change.. I would hope it became home and home. Playing in the dome every other
year has ZERO appeal to me. Only time I want to see the dome is in the SECCG, and even then...
I don't like the dome itself.

There won't be any changes made, just topic for us to throw around. If I had a vote, it would be home and home.

My vote goes

1. No change
2. Home and home

7. Every other year in the Dome.
