Georgia, Florida set to earn $7.5 million for playing at neutral site
Georgia, Florida set to earn $7.5 million for playing at neutral site The Georgia-Florida rivalry will take place in Jacksonville in 2025, but in 2026, both teams will travel up to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to continue the World's Largest Cocktail Party. There will be a huge payout for both the Bulldogs and the Gators. According to Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald, Georgia and Florida will each be earning $7.5 million to play at the Mercedez-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The money will be sent from AMB Sports & Entertainment, the company owned by Arthur Blank that owns and operates the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United and Mercedes-Benz Stadium. In 2027, the two rivals will be playing at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay. That is because Jacksonville is undergoing a major stadium renovation worth $1.4 billion. The project is expected to complete in 2028, and Georgia and Florida have an agreement to play at EverBank Stadium until 2031. The Bulldogs will continue their tradition of playing in Mercedes Benz for at least two more seasons. Their 2025 game with Georgia Tech will take place at Mercedes-Benz stadium on Friday, Nov. 28. Kirby Smart will be looking to improve on his 7-4 record in Mercedes-Benz these next few years. Georgia went 2-0 at Mercedes-Benz last season with wins over Clemson and Texas.
