UF-Georgia Game in Jacksonville

Our son is an undergraduate at University of Florida and we live in Charleston, SC. We are meeting him in Jacksonville in November for the notorious Florida-Georgia game. Anyone have any tips for us? We are hoping to tailgate but this game is pretty famous for tailgating so I don't know if the parking lot fills up early and it is hard to even park. Since we are meeting him there, we would need two parking spots.

Anyone out there have any tips about this and going to the game in general?

Thanks!!

Thanks! Friends of ours told us that there are tailgating clubs we can join for a fee but I haven't been able to find these.

Perhaps contact your local alumni chapter and see if they have a tailgate. We live in So Fla and there are a lot of chapters down here with parties all year. Some being "watch" parties. Is your son in any type of fraternity or organization? They might also organize a tailgate.

GO Gators!!! Beat those Dawgs!

Do they still call it the World's Largest Cocktail Party?? I'm sure I still have a tee-shirt stashed away at my parent's house!

Turned into a real game but both schools, coaches, and PLAYERS should be ashamed of onfield conduct. They make themselves look like undisciplined thugs.
