Tampa will host Florida-Georgia football game in 2027

Tampa is set to host the highly anticipated Florida-Georgia football game in 2027, marking a significant shift from its usual spot in Jacksonville. Known as “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party,” this annual event attracts a massive audience, often exceeding 70,000 attendees. The decision to move the game is largely due to ongoing renovations at EverBank Stadium, which are part of a substantial $1. 4 billion improvement project. Raymond James Stadium, a well-known venue for major sports events, will now serve as the new home for this historic rivalry, ensuring a vibrant atmosphere for fans.

The game not only highlights athletic prowess but also fosters community spirit and economic activity in the region. Local businesses are likely to benefit from the influx of visitors, making this event a significant opportunity for economic growth. As the rivalry continues to grow in prominence, the 2027 game is poised to be a memorable occasion for both teams and their supporters. This change underscores Tampa’s expanding role in hosting major sporting events, further enhancing its reputation as a premier sports destination.
