The 18th Annual Merrill Lynch | Bank of America Florida-Georgia Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony presented by Ruth's Chris Steak House Friday, November 1 at 12 p.m. Located inside the West Club at EverBank Field In appreciation of the nation’s premier collegiate rivalry, the Jacksonville Sports and Entertainment Board created the Florida-Georgia Hall of Fame to acknowledge the many great achievements that have made the Florida vs. Georgia game one of college football’s greatest traditions. This year’s inductees are Jevon Kearse and Lindy Infante from the University of Florida and Peter Anderson and Matt Stinchcomb from the University of Georgia. The featured emcee is TV personality, Bonnie Bernstein. The Florida-Georgia Hall of Fame will be on display on Saturday, November 2 at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. and also inside Touchdown Showdown which is outside EverBank Field’s South End Zone. For more information, call the Jacksonville Sports and Entertainment Office at (904) 630-3600.
2012 Hall Of Fame Inductees: David Greene (UGA), Charlie Whittemore (UGA), Mayor Alvin Brown, Doug Dickey (UF) and John L. Williams (UF).
• • • • • • • •
2013 Hall of Fame Inductees These four outstanding individuals will join current Hall of Fame members for their roles in making the Florida vs. Georgia Football Game the storied match that it is today. LINDY INFANTE A three-time letter winner at Florida, Lindy Infante started his career in football as a tailback for Coach Ray Graves and eventually was named team captain in 1962 while earning third team all-SEC honors. Starting as an assistant coach at Florida in 1966 under Graves and staying under Doug Dickey until 1971, he would go on to coach in the NFL – serving as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers (1988-91) and the Indianapolis Colts (1996-97). JEVON KEARSE Best known as “The Freak,” Jevon Kearse terrorized defenses for three seasons (1995-98) to earn all-SEC honors each year. A member of the 1997 national championship team, he earned All-American honors in 1998 and was a finalist for the Butkus, Lombardi and Bednarik Awards. Following his sensational career at Florida, Kearse went on to play 11 seasons in the NFL with Philadelphia and Tennessee. PETER ANDERSON A consensus All-American selection in 1985, Peter Anderson became the first Vince Dooley-coached player to be named the team’s permanent captain at mid-season. He was nicknamed the “Bell Cow” (meaning the one who everyone follows) by Coach Dooley for his leadership. Playing from 1983 to 1985, Anderson led Georgia to two wins during his three Georgia-Florida games. MATT STINCHCOMB A two-time first team All-American pick, Matt Stinchcomb was a three-year starter for the Bulldogs (1995-98). Starting in 32 consecutive games, Stinchcomb was a finalist for the Lombardi Award that is given annually to the nation’s top lineman.

DISABLED GUESTS: Disabled guests in sections 101-106, 148-150 and 403-416 should use the elevator located in the southwest corner of the stadium, near Gate 1. Disabled guests in sections 140-147 and 430-443 should use the elevator in the southeast corner of the stadium, near Gate 2. Disabled guests in sections 113-133 and 217-229 should use the elevator between Gates 2 and 3 in the north end zone. WHEELCHAIR ESCORT SERVICE: The Wheelchair Escort Service is available at all perimeter gates of the stadium. This service will assist disabled patrons from the entrance gate to their assigned seat. The Wheelchair Escort Service will return post-game to pick up patrons at their assigned seats and will return them to their original entry gate. If disable patrons need constant use of a wheelchair, we ask that they provide their own. The Wheelchair Escort Service is intended to relieve those in need of the initial long entry and exit walks. PRE-GAME DROP-OFF / POST-GAME PICK-UP PROCEDURES: Drop-off: A designated drop-off location has been created at Gate 1, to allow those with a disability to be dropped off as closed as possible to EverBank Field. Drivers who drop off disabled patrons should enter Lot M (use entrance at Georgia Street and Adams Street) and tell the parking attendant and the police office that you are dropping off a guest with disabilities. Once the guest has been dropped off, the driver must exit Lot M if he/she does not have a parking pass for that lot. Please note that cars found in designated lots without the proper pass will be towed at the owner’s expense. Pick-up: Post-event traffic will flow away from the stadium for approximately 30 – 45 minutes after the game. Disable patrons can use the Post-game Golf Cart Shuttle Service (Gate 1/Tented area) or wait at the closest gate location until the traffic pattern has returned to two-way. PORTABLE SANITATION SERVICES: Due to safety issues surrounding sanitation trucks and portolet rentals in the Sports Complex Area, Amason’s is the exclusive provider for SMG managed facilities. For the safety of fans, other portolet companies will not be permitted to solicit business in cityowned parking lots and property in the Sports Complex Area. For reservations, call 904-276-4829.
