People always compare North GA to North FL, what about all the South Florida fans who drive to the game in Jax? It is about the same as the drive from Atlanta to Jax (actually longer). It's a 10 hour drive from Miami to ATL. There are plenty of people in Ft Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Ft Myers, Naples, who go to this game and moving it to ATL is in no way keeping it neutral.

It has nothing to do with team travel, it is all about the fans imo.

I’m for making the game home and home.
Move it. And I expect it will be moved. Kirby wants another SEC home game every other year. It will be another opportunity to bring in top recruits as well as bring additional revenue to the Athens merchants.
If Kirby wants it moved bad enough, it will be moved. He calls the shots when it comes to what’s best for UGA football.

What about all the S. Ga. fans who have to drive to Athens for other games?
Same as S. Fl. fans having to drive to Gainesville.
But there's only ~70 miles between Gainesville & Jax..

You really are a dipshit.

The last thing Florida Gator fans should want is for the UGA Bulldawgs to stack the stadium in Miami and then to drub the Gators.
Can you imagine the recruiting boon for James Coley with all of those S Florida recruits?

You think your Florida recruiting is struggling now, imagine the Dawgs takeover in Miami.
