  "account": "ATLANTA (AP) — College football's storied Georgia-Florida rivalry made a rare indoor appearance at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, despite the event being known as the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. The passionate fan bases of the third-ranked Georgia Bulldogs and No. 17 Florida Gators delivered as usual, while the third-ranked Bulldogs and No. 17 Gators faced off at the renovated stadium. Billed as $5.77 plus GST every four weeks, the Invesco QQQ Atlanta Gridiron Classic saw Georgia and Florida meet for the first time at the Benz since 1995. Despite the title change and new environment, the energy was electric, with fans split between red and blue and a few Halloween costumes thrown in. While some fans, like Gators fan Julie McQuitty, found the name \"crazy stupid,\" others like Gators fan Alex Jenkins and Atlanta native Michael Barnes were excited to be part of the historic matchup.",
