Don’t Move the Cocktail Party

Home and Home would ruin one of the great rivalries imo . Don’t ruin a good thing ! I attend the game every year and being able to talk smack to all my Florida friends pre game in RV City especially recently would be lost ! Anyone who attends the game every year with the 50/50 fan split in the stadium knows it’s something special. UGA will own in JVille this next decade. Don’t break the tradition !

Not gonna happen
It moving or it staying in JVille ?
I wasn't planning on moving it, who told you I was?
Not moving
If it moves it won't be the Cocktail Party anymore!
I kinda get this feeling that Kirby would like to see it changed. I personally would be a slight Home/Home lean I think.
I could see a compromise with a home and home, then the next 2 rotate between Jax and the ATL, then back to home and home
I'm not going to even click on that article on dawgnation. Early spring click-bait if there ever was any.
First Jax game was 1980 and last year my buddy got a home in Jax and is a great host. Now Mike wants to move it?
Thanks, I will join you. Really the best answer.
They’ve already stated ATL is out. Not enough seating I believe was the issue.
CKS wants it for recruiting reasons. Gotta trust the Kang on those matters.
(why do we call him Kang Kirby and not King?)
He seems to be doing just fine as is. Keep it in Jax.
The Benz have more seats than Jville.
Time to move our annual away game to a home and home series.
We might want to change that outdated red and black color scheme while we’re at it. Maybe even change our mascot to a Tiger? Seems to be popular.
I don't go to games anymore so I don't much care where they play, except that if it helps in recruiting, I'm all for making it home/home.
I think the schools talk about moving the game back to home and home just as a negotiating ploy to get the City of Jacksonville to cough up more and more money. That game is a BIG deal to that city.
But Jacksonville adds temporary seats for this game every year. I attended the game where it set the stadium record one year for over 86k
Interesting. 67k to 86k seems like a lot of temporary seats. But who I'm I to say.......
