Florida, Georgia Fans All Decked Out In RV City Ahead Of Game

Plenty of Florida and Georgia fans have already set up their recreational vehicles for this weekend's game.

Every year, Florida and Georgia fans come out to Jacksonville to root for their teams.

A lot of the fans started tailgating in front of EverBank Field since Tuesday with their RVs decked out with their team colors, and their bars stocked up for the whole week.

Most fans have been doing this with their families for a long time and consider it as the biggest event they plan with their family and friends every year.

Kathy Griffin, a Bulldogs fan, come down here with her husband along with other friends every year and has been doing it for 7 or 8 years now.

"We're having a great time. We're doing whatever. We don't plan anything when we come here. We just let it fall into place," Griffin says.

Shepard Ellison is a Jacksonville native who comes out to support the Florida Gators every year for the past 10 years.

"There's nothing else like this, this is our big event every year. We go down to the Keys and go fishing, but nothing like this," Ellison says.

Beatrice Sanchez is a senior at the University of North Florida. She will graduate this year with a bachelor's degree in communication with a concentration on media production. Originally from Manila, Philippines, she moved to Jacksonville four years ago to finish school. She spends most of her time at school or work, and if she ever does get free time, she enjoys watching re-runs of "Grey's Anatomy" or taking pictures of surfers out at the beach.
