And I wasn't wrong! The tour lasted about 90 minutes (and it leaves promptly FYI) and takes you along the shoreline of Amelia Island - past the shrimping boats and past a Civil War era fort - before heading towards Cumberland Island National Seashore. This is where the true fun of the tour was for me. I had no idea really the history of the island and found it fascinating how the Carnegies and Rockefellers and more of the country's elite used this random Georgia seashore as their private escape. The history of both Cumberland and Amelia Islands is incredibly fascinating and the guides for both the Florida and Georgia sides respectively were well informed and personable. Plus - you'll very likely see a ton of great wildlife throughout including dolphins and wild horses and pigs. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in the area and a fabulous introduction to Cumberland Island National Seashore/Park.

I had to subscribe to a third party company called AXS, created an account to login and access said tickets; but the AXS app won't even let me login after creating the account. So, I'm not sure I'll be getting my tickets or not before the event.

I paid $184.80 for tickets that were still selling directly from the venue for around $97. When I realized the mistake and requested cancellation before fulfillment, the company delivered the tickets immediately rather than honoring the request. The tickets were real, but the purchasing process feels designed to make buyers think they're buying directly from the venue. Lesson learned: always go directly to the venue's ticketing provider first.

The stadium itself is fairly small, especially as softball is becoming more popular and UF is playing better. They have devised a new system, where only season ticket holders can sit in the assigned seats on the benches and the general public sits in the grassy areas. I don't mind this, however, you really need to get there 45 min-1 hr before the games starts if you want a decent spot, and even then prepared to be close to your neighbors! Parking fill up quickly, another reason to get there early. I usually just park in the parking garage cross the street and walk. The stadium is well maintained and usually has clean bathrooms, and overpriced concessions - if you need them!
