Like most things in the 1930s, the Florida-Georgia game’s Jacksonville location can be traced back to railroads.

Because of Jacksonville’s convenient location between Gainesville and Athens, fans of both schools could easily make the trip to see the game.

Florida historian Norm Carlson explains the decision to move the game to its current location in the above video.

The Jacksonville decision has been a good one for both schools. This year’s edition of The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party will be held on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time.

For those not taking planes, trains or automobiles to watch the contest in person, tune in to CBS to catch the action.
