Lifelong Vol fan (and longtime Volnation member) here. I moved to Jacksonville from the Knoxville area where I was raised a little over 4 years ago for work, and am now the city's Treasurer.
On behalf of Jacksonville, I just wanted to thank the Volunteer Nation for showing up in droves for the Gator Bowl! When Tennessee was chosen to come here, I told everyone I know in Jax to just wait and see ... there was no doubt in my mind that Vol fans would represent. Last night proved me right, and even exceeded my expectations a little considering the topsy-turvy season we had. What a great game and a great night!
I love my new home. Jacksonville is a GREAT town, and is continuing to get better! With the different beaches, parks, museums, shopping areas, restaurants and entertainment options, Jacksonville is so large and spread out that it's difficult to really experience all that it has to offer in one trip. Also, we have many, many things in the works that will make it an even better destination in the very near future -- especially downtown. For those of you who came, I hope you enjoyed your visit and that you'll come back again soon! And if you haven't been here, please check us out!
Again, THANK YOU to all Vol fans for making it an awesome week! I know the City certainly appreciates it, and you're all welcome back anytime!
Go Vols!!
