The recent renovations to EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville will affect the city's hosting of the annual Florida-Georgia rivalry game.
The universities of Florida and Georgia have faced off in Duval County every year since 1933, except in 1943 due to World War II and 1994-1995 due to renovations. However, the current $1.4 billion renovation project, which began in February 2025, will change the dynamics of the game.
The renovated stadium will have a seating capacity of 63,000, with the ability to expand to over 70,000 for large events.
The annual Florida-Georgia football game is a significant event that brings together fans from both universities.
