FSU may soon be on its way to Jacksonville




FSU may soon be on its way to Jacksonville

"During the interview, Catlett added more news of interest to college football fans: “I think you’re going to see, very soon now, a major announcement on a neutral site game that will take place in 2016.”
Catlett said this game would not be a season opening “kickoff” game.  This has long been rumored as a matchup between Notre Dame and Navy.
Finally, Catlett indicated FSU may soon be on its way to Jacksonville.
“I think with everything that’s going on at FSU and Jimbo (Fisher) being willing to now go play some really good teams, I think you can probably see us host a neutral site game with FSU in it probably ’18-’19,” he said."

    I think there might be a few FSU fans who'd show up in Jax... what do you think, Z?

    No doubt....but I am not sure it is worth it for FSU...which is my main concern. First, Catlett hasn't been a big friend of the ACC (and thus FSU)....so I am in no mood to reward him...or trust him (and he is an FSU grad, but no friend of FSU). 2nd, Home games are VERY valuable to FSU....the payout has to be MASSIVE to take away a home game. 3rd, with FSU's investment in "College Town", the financial impact of a home game is even greater than before.

    Basically, anything short of $4 million (if not more) is not worth FSU's time....as crazy as that sounds.
