It's Georgia-Florida weekend: Georgia fan Erika Story has a friendly faceoff with Florida fan Crystal Bocklage after purchasing souvenirs at a stand outside TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville Friday. The long-time rivals will meet Saturday with the winner gaining the upper hand in the race for the SEC East title.

A solitary souvenir stand draws a few Georgia and Florida fans where the scene is mostly quiet outside TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville Friday. Once called the world’s largest cocktail party, only 20 to 25% capacity of the stadium will be used for socially distanced fans and tailgating is not permitted in stadium parking lots including RV City.
