“Parking lots open at 8 a.m. Be in your parking spots at 10:30 a.m. Stadium gates open at 1:30 p.m. Be in line at the gates by 2:30 p.m. Underage drinkers will not be tolerated. Use your buddy system. And, take a picture of where you park,” said JSO Special Events Chief Andre Ayoub.
Ayoub also encourages fans to follow the JSO on Twitter @JSOPIO for live, game-day traffic information.
The long-running Georgia-Florida college rivalry has been played in the River City nearly every year since 1933.
