One side issue if that UGA doesn't get many home games in a season, often just six, it can even be five, and two will be pastries.

The only "good" home games this season are Tenn and Auburn.  Anyway, I don't think this is a real problem at all.  They can do whatever.

Same thing for us.  Basically our best, most desirable game of each and every year, is never played at home.

But the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, in our case.

I assume that Texas rents a hotel or two nearby the fair for recruits and their families and this is not an issue to host recruits in Dallas

Right, same as we would in Austin.  I'd assume it's the same hotel where the team stays.

Yep. Same here. Although the Norman merchants disagree.

Dallas surely has more hotel space than Jacksonville does.

Yeah there are murmurings from local Austin merchants from time to time, as well.  The University, boosters, and fans, tell them to shut the hell up.

A super-quick and probably unreliable google search tells me Jacksonville has ~19,000 hotel rooms, while Dallas proper has ~30,000, with more than double that available in surrounding areas.

I'd guess the Texas St. fair goers gobble up more than a few hotel rooms

maybe around 10,000

On TX-OU weekend it's probably a lot more than that.  People end up staying pretty far out of town when they screw up and don't book early.

These days I take the RV and camp right there on the Fairgrounds.  Roll out of bed, jump on the tram that's about 300 yards from my front door, and I'm inside the Fair within about 10 minutes.

There's enough high school football talent within 30 miles of the Cotton Bowl to staff a mid-level collegiate team in itself if they all went one place. Both OU and Texas enjoy having a game square in the hotbed of their own recruiting fields.

Yup.  Even the "Away" team can host "unofficial" visits from desirable recruits from a highly desirable recruiting ground.

Even if boosters started demanding the game be moved to home and home, the coaching staffs would probably tell them to sit down and shut up.

Are you not counting the games with FCS opponents (always played in Athens) as home games?
Over the last 9 full seasons (I'm not counting 2020, the Covid year), UGA has played 7 home games most years.
2011: 7
2012: 7
2013: 6
2014: 7
2015: 7
2016: 7
2017: 6
2018: 7
2019: 7
2021: 6 (+ a "home game" with Clemson played in Charlotte)
Is there going to be a "visiting game" with Clemson, or was that game a singleton?
You guys did get unlucky on the SEC scheduling in 2020. 9 games, all in-conference. You got the 4/5 h/a split, and one of those home games was in Jacksonville.
I see you have a game with Oregon scheduled this fall, to be played in Atlanta.
Maybe Kirby should ask for no more neutral-site OOC games?

Yeah I'd be pretty hacked off if Texas did ANOTHER neutral site game in a season, and gave it away as a home game.

When we played UCLA in JerryWorld a few years back, that was THEIR home game, not ours.

true helmets/bluebloods have the opponent use a home game

Hence Northwestern's home game in Ireland
