Yes, if you are staying out toward the Beaches, go over to Beach Blvd and take the Hart Bridge to the stadium..because in all likelihood the Mathews Bridge will not be open by the UF/UGa game.

Last week a Navy Ship hit the Mathews Bridge in downtown causing structural damage, a couple of steel beams were ripped off the bottom of the bridge. The bridge was closed indefinitely, I've seen estimates of 1 - 3 months for repairs.. The bridge was closed yesterday for the Jaguars Game, but that crowd is dwarfed by the UF/UGa game day traffic. If you are not familiar with the Mathews Bridge it is one of 2 bridges that bring traffic directly to the stadium and if it's closed, getting downtown is going to be a nightmare for the game. You've been warned.
