ATHENS — SEC legend Steve Spurrier wants the Georgia-Florida games in 2026 and 2027 to be played at neutral sites while the current Jacksonville stadium is undergoing major renovations.

Georgia and Florida school officials have revealed a decision on the location of those games might soon follow a Jacksonville city council meeting scheduled for June 25.

Proposals for the game include a potential home-and-home series in 2026-2027 or neutral site games in Orlando or Tampa and Atlanta.

“I like the idea, one in Atlanta and one in Orlando,” Spurrier told DawgNation. “Just because historically, they’ve gone to neutral site.”
