In an effort to help bulldog nation have a good time in Jacksonville, here is some info.

Water temp is in the low 50's. Anywhere close to water will be cooler than the predicted day's temp.
Stadium, River City Brewing Co and the Landing are all on the river. Any breeze will make it worse.

Under-age drinking at a Gator Bowl event results in a lessened fine of $75 and a ticket issued. Normally you would be arrested, booked in jail and fined $400.

Cowbells are allowed in the Stadium, they ask that you not ring when Michigan is on offense.

Some GPS devices get screwed up in Jacksonville. Look at a map and notice where I-10 and I-95 meet. They meet very close to River City Brewing, the Landing, the stadium etc. (2-3 miiles) The I-10/I-95 area borders some bad area's of town so get on the interstate and off the surface roads. Remember, as a general rule, the farther south and east you are from downtown, the better and safer the area is.

paindonthurt is of age and isn't worried about the under age stuff (except for thegirls of course), but he wants to know what are the fines for public drunk violations. He said he plans on getting at least 3 of them.

I called Miller's Ale House and they are open New Year's Day.
I'm sure Beef O'Bradys and the wing places are open too.
There are several Miller's Ale Houses in Jacksonville, good food and several TV's.

River City Brewing Co. Built a new high rise jail right on the river. Since MSU beat FL this year, I don't think a fine will be your biggest issue.
