TAMPA, Fla — The football rivalry game between the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators will be played in Georgia and Tampa due to stadium revisions in Jacksonville.

The game has only been played 10 times outside of Jacksonville since 1915, but according to ESPN reports, due to renovations at EverBank Stadium, it will be played at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2026 and Raymond James Stadium in 2027.

The game was played once in Tampa back in 1919. The Gators lost the game 16-0.

According to ESPN, the games are expected to return to Jacksonville after renovations are complete in 2028.

“We’ve struggled so hard to scrape the money to be able to do this for her,” Irizarry said. “She’s my only girl and I wanted this so much for her.”

Couples and families who had weddings and events planned at a well-known venue that abruptly closed claim they’re out thousands of dollars and aren’t being given refunds. Annette Irizarry was supposed to hold her 15-year-old daughter’s quinceañera in August at the Clearwater location and said she’s now out the $6,160 she paid. Without that money, Irizarry said she can’t afford to have her daughter’s celebration somewhere else.
