the world's largest outdoor cocktail party

"The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" is a common name for the annual college football game between the University of Florida Gators and the University of Georgia Bulldogs. Currently, the match is held at ALLTEL Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, usually on the first saturday in November. The designated "home" team alternates from year to year, with ticket distribution split 50/50 between the two schools. Currently, Georgia has a 45-35-2 advantage in the all-time series, however, Florida has gone 13-2 in the game since 1990 (Georgia won in 1997 and 2004, respectively). Due to sensitivity about consumption of alcohol by college students, the match is officially known as the Georgia-Florida/Florida-Georgia game (depending on which team is the home team in a given year). In 2000, the University of Georgia changed their fall break to coincide with the date of the game. Reportedly, this was intended to reduce absences and alarming traffic fatality trends related to students travelling to Jacksonville for the game.
