Jacksonville, Florida – The much-anticipated Florida-Georgia game is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025, with kickoff set for 3:30 p.m. at EverBank Stadium. As one of college football’s most storied rivalries, fans are gearing up for a lively day of festivities, but important information regarding event logistics is crucial for a smooth experience.
RV City, usually a popular spot for tailgating, is already sold out for 2025, and the waitlist is also full. Fans interested in tailgating are encouraged to explore private parking lots for additional options, as these are not affiliated with the stadium. On game day, fans should note their seating arrangements: the Florida Gators will occupy the West side of the stadium, while the Georgia Bulldogs will be stationed on the East side.
Due to ongoing construction at EverBank Stadium, attendees should prepare for possible delays in both traffic and walking routes on game day. Stadium gates will open at 1:30 p.m., and fans are advised to arrive early to reduce stress and enhance their game-day experience. Parking will begin at 8 a.m., and it is recommended that fans park at least five hours prior to kickoff. All parking is pre-sold, and parking hangtags must be displayed upon arrival.
Tailgating and Parking Guidelines
At the game, tailgating is restricted to the lined parking space and directly behind or in front of each vehicle. Blocking drive lanes is strictly prohibited, and while tailgating is allowed on medians, it is not permitted in designated disabled spaces. The one permit one parking space policy will be enforced rigorously to ensure adequate parking for all attendees.
Security and Bag Policies
A clear bags policy will be in effect, meaning that all clear bags cannot exceed 12 inches x 6 inches x 12 inches. For non-clear bags, the size limit is 4.5 inches x 6.5 inches. It is important to note that no cash transactions will be allowed by vendors inside EverBank Stadium, and re-entry will not be permitted. Any prohibited items must be returned to vehicles or disposed of at the entrance. Furthermore, all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and vaping devices, are prohibited within the stadium gates.
Fans planning to carry signs should be aware that handheld signs are permitted as long as they adhere to guidelines set forth by stadium personnel. Moreover, five Information & First Aid Zones will be available from 12 p.m. up to 30 minutes after the game, offering medical assistance, directions, and complimentary water.
Weather Considerations
In light of weather forecasts for game day, fans should be prepared for the possibility of rain, with a reported 40% chance of showers and storms earlier in the day. Attendees are encouraged to bring ponchos or raingear to stay comfortable while tailgating and watching the game.
Fans are reminded that extensive security measures, including screening at all gates, will be implemented to ensure a safe environment for everyone attending the highly anticipated event. With these details in mind, attendees can prepare to enjoy the excitement and camaraderie that the Florida-Georgia game is known for, creating memories that fans will cherish for years to come.
