AD Josh Brooks on status of Georgia football home-and-home with Clemson
Georgia and Florida State cancelled a home-and-home series and are working to play at a neutral site. What about Georgia-Clemson home-and-home games?
GREENSBORO — Georgia football and Florida State are looking at a range of cities to play a neutral site game in 2028 after cancelling their home-and-home series. What about the Georgia-Clemson games scheduled for 2029 in Death Valley and 2030 in Athens? “We’re in talks right now,” Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks said after an athletic board meeting on Friday May 22 at the Ritz-Carlton Reynolds about conversations with Clemson athletic director Graham Neff.
“I’ve got to get through some other stuff first, but Graham and I have been in talks and we’ll see how that evolves over time, but right now my primary focus is on the Florida State game and where that game is going to be played. ” Georgia hasn’t played at Clemson since 2013 and the Tigers last played in Athens in 2014. Brooks said the future games with Clemson could move to a neutral site.
“Possibly,” he said. “Everything’s on the table right now with that. ” A neutral site game is more lucrative for Georgia.
Georgia projects $8. 5 million in ticket revenue for the neutral site game this season against Florida in Atlanta compared to $5. 7 million for a home game against Auburn.
