About

The TaxSlayer Gator Bowl is an annual postseason college football game in Jacksonville, Florida. First held on January 1, 1946 at Jacksonville’s Fairfield Stadium, later renamed Gator Bowl Stadium, the event was played on the same field until 1993, when its current home at EverBank Stadium was built on the site and returned in 1995. Although the Gator Bowl began as a showcase for at least one member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), the game’s opponents have more recently featured opponents from either the SEC, Big Ten and Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Across 80 editions of the Gator Bowl, memorable moments include the Pittsburgh Panthers’ 37-9 upset over the South Carolina Gamecocks in 1980 and Florida State coach Bobby Bowden’s last game in 2010. In 2025, the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl game will be played on December 27 at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida.

    Very disappointed in the lack of effort to welcome Ohio State. Everything was geared to accommodate the Gators.

    Good event, but drinks are very expensive which just encourages madness beforehand. Otherwise, it was well organised and presented. Merchandise was a bit disappointing. It was a cold day and yet no vendors where selling sweaters.

  • Good Game

    I wish the Gator bowl had better opening and halftime shows... The other bowl games are much better...

    by Gunz4glory on 1/4/12EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    What a Great Game! Go Gators! Great Job Ohio State. It doesn't matter who you were rooting for, it was a great football game. And, Even the officials did not mess it up too bad.

  • by FLBuckeyeFan on 1/4/12EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 3 out of 5

    The venue was excellent for the Gator Bowl, however, it was disappointing that for a Bowl Game, the teams names/schools weren't painted on the end zones...especially since the Jags season was already over!! I really liked all the different local interest things they had between quarters. Nice to see the Gator Bowl committee supporting the local community. Also, the placement of the bands in the stadium so that their OWN fans could hear them, was poor. We were seated on the same side of the field as the OSU band, but at the opposite end and couldn't hear them AT ALL!! Simple accoustics here folks...if you play towards the opposite side of the field, that's the only side which will be able to hear you! We could hear the Florida band great since they were playing directly AT the Ohio State fans!!! It would be much better if the bands were placed in the end-zone and could play "down" the field, their own fans would be able to hear them much better. This really distracted from the game. Being an Ohio State fan, but only hearing Gator music was a real bummer!

  • Great Event

    by Scooterdad on 1/4/12EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 4 out of 5

    This was my first Bowl Game ever. I thought the Bowl Committee and the City of Jacksonville put on a great event. Concessions were better than I expected. I thought the entertainment during the breaks in the game were fitting. Overall I had a great expierence. I drove down from Savannah Ga. because I am an Ohio State Fan but I would attend another Gator Bowl even if my team was not playing. One thing i was disappointed at, The End Zones should have been painted with the team colors.

  • The Gator Bowl

    by OSUfans on 1/4/12EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 4 out of 5

    Although not the outcome we would have preferred, the event was fantastic. The pre-game Tailgate Party was well worth the $10 Patch. The stadium was clean and even though we were second row from the clouds, we had an awesome view of the field. Food was easily accessed at halftime, and the lines were not horrible. The restroomns were clean. The only negative comments we have are regarding the scoreboard attendant who could not seem to post the correct numbers, and the acoustics are horrible.

  • Great!

    by Lacrel on 1/4/12EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 5 out of 5

  • Gator Bowl was enjoyable.

    by OSUSportsFan on 1/4/12EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    The weather and game was very enjoyable. I really enjoyed the area available for the ticket holders with the private lounge.

  • A little boring

    by buick11 on 1/4/12EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 3 out of 5

    After spending $400 on tickets and $25 on a parking pass, we had to pay $10 each (family of 4 = another $40) just to enter the "experience" where we could spend more money on food and drinks with not much entertainment.

  • SEC DOMINENCE

    by BAMA8811 on 1/15/11EVERBANK FIELD - JACKSONVILLERating: 5 out of 5

    I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET TO ORLANDO FOR THE ALABAMA-MICHIGAN ST GAME SO I PURCHASED TICKETS FOR THE GATOR BOWL AND IT WAS THE BEST NEW YEARS GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN.TOTAL MISS ST DOMINATED FROM THE BEGINNING.

  • Gator Bowl...Miss. St...WOW!

    by JohnsTSO on 1/9/11EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 4 out of 5

    The Gator Bowl was great fun and the fans were super! A few drunks and red necks as is the case throughout America, yet other than that simply SUPER! The stadium is nice, avoid venturing far away for cheeper parking...homelessness is great and sad to see. The Miss. St. team missed about ZERO tackles and to see a team play such and excellent game was cool....even though I'm a big ten fan...speed obviously kills, especially when you don't make mistakes! Great Job Miss. St.! Opening with the singer from Cold Play was AWESOME! I'm already there is truely an American Classic already!

  • gator bowl fun!

    It was a good venue, they were very accomodating to those of us from out of town, I would definately go back.

  • Gator Bowl game

    by GatorBowlFan on 1/7/11EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 4 out of 5

    Please do not allow fans to bring cowbells or anyother noise makers to another Gator bowl game. It was very distracting to all the fans and became very annoying after listening to those for the entire game. I understand school traditions, but those can be observed in their home stadiums, not in a bowl game. By the way, I am not a Michigan fan, so this isn't a comment based on the outcome of the game.

  • Gator Bowl--GREAT TIME

    by Anonymous on 1/5/11EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 4 out of 5

    This is my second year going to this game and I will continue go as long as prices are affordable. Love the game and atmosphere.

  • by Anonymous on 1/4/11EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 4 out of 5

    great day. everyone of the staff were helpful and courteous. Too bad the NCAA allowed the Mississippi State fans to bring their cowbells. During the parade it got ugly for a few minutes when a young man purposely rang it in the ear of a Michigan band mother. There was a confrontation. I was afraid it was going to spill over at the game, but fortunately it didn't. Other wise the event was successful. DRS

  • Great time at the Gator Bowl!

    by DawgBandFan on 1/4/11EverBank Field - JacksonvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    Thanks Jacksonville for a great week at the Gator Bowl! We enjoyed all of the festivities, spent a lot of time at the Landing and the surrounding area, and were treated well everywhere we went. It was so fun having the cowbells ringing in the new year every where you went. What a fun time! And the stadium was superior! Go Dawgs!!!
