Because it's more important than Catskills North vs. East Palookaville.

 

The game is held in Jacksonville.

 

You do know how to do internet research, don't you?

 

The game is one of the busiest annual events in downtown Jacksonville, and attracts huge crowds that congregate around the stadium for tailgating and other happenings. As a result the game and associated revelry have been known as "the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party", a nickname first coined in the 1950s by Bill Kastelz, sports editor for The Florida Times-Union.[10] Kastelz claimed he came up with the name after seeing a drunk, stumbling fan offer an alcoholic beverage to an on-duty police officer.[10] The "Cocktail Party" nickname proved so popular that the City of Jacksonville used it for many years.
