The stadium is divided 50/50 on ticket sales. Both schools get equal amounts. The end zones are pretty crazy because that is where both team's fans meet. 1/2 of the stadium is red, the other 1/2 is jean shorts and gold chains. :moon:
The tradition has been going on longer than 97, but we did have a two year drought from Jax due to the new stadium being built for the Jaguars. Georgia hosted one and Florida hosted one.
Jacksonville is one of the best events that a CFB fan could wish for. Beautiful women, lots of boozin', and a pretty healthy rivalry that drives the entire day. I have personally never seen any altercations at the actual event, but there have been some scuffles late at night in the bar district. They are minimal for the amount of passion that these two schools have for their football and the amount of hate that they have for the other school.
People arrive days (up to a week) in advance to get the best RV spots for tailgating.
