The Swamp is the 9th largest stadium in the nation & the largest in Florida, seating 88,548 people. It serves as a great place to work out, so throw on your Nike sneakers and start running stadiums !

ESPN

Enshrined as statues outside the stadium are three former Gator QBs and Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier, Danny Wuerffel and Tim Tebow . And yes, Tebow is running the ball.

Ken Sellers

A bipolar experience. Lots of friendly fans. But my kids and I were flipped off while standing on a street corner, and the fan next to me shouted how everything sucked, constantly, during the game.

Stadium Journey

Make a visit to the Heavener Complex located on the southwest corner of the stadium . There you'll find the Florida National Championship Trophies and Heismans Read more

Eric Ritter

Don't miss a photo opportunity with the one and only Timmy Tebow.

Jeff Thibeault

Awesome stadium , great time every time. Not a bad seat in the place. Dont forget to get to campus early on game day for the tailgating!!

Men's Health Mag

Tim Tebow routinely ran some 1,500 steps at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium—a killer loop up and down every aisle—to build endurance. Read more

I sold cokes for 35 cents at Florida Field in the south stands when they were bleachers. I love this place! GO GATORS !

Economic Freedom

Thanks to the innovation of some UF researchers, the world has Gatorade. Economic freedom fosters innovation by allowing individuals to choose freely how to produce, sell, and use their own resources. Read more

Despite the torrential rain and lightning everything was handled smoothly.

You're not a college football fan if you haven't been to the swamp. Gators suck nowadays, but awesome stadium . Go Hawkeyes!

Hossein mosavi

Awesome place.

Best game day of the year in Gainesville is when UF plays the Florida State Seminoles. Last game, best game.

Christie Stephens

Go grab some create-your-own frozen yogurt at Mochi ! But after you get dinner at The Swamp, best food ever. Get there early, it's packed on game weekends.

Arlene C

For those VERY hot first games they provide FREE ice/water at concession stands.

A great stadium to watch a game. It's loud and the fans love the Gators !!!

Brian Siemienas

Always enjoy the first gator game of the season. Hopefully the weather will stay good today.

Arlene C

Take the Gator Aider Park & Ride to the stadium - so much better than fighting the traffic!

Rachel Stephens

Take advantage of the free cups of ice at the concession stands on hot gamedays.

Danna O'Neal

its hot as hell anytime before late October-early November. However, what they say is true- only Gators get out alive. Make sure you have tons of Gatorade on hand!

Visit Gainesville

Be sure to check out statues of Steve Spurrier, Danny Weurffel and Tim Tebow outside the stadium .

Coach of the Year

Back in April, statues for the Gators ’ three Heisman winners were unveiled: Tim Tebow , Danny Wuerffel and former coach Steve Spurrier.

Visit Gainesville

The football team arrives at the stadium 2 hours and 15 minutes before every home game for the Gator Walk.

Jon B.

Fun venue for college football .

Warning for anyone who sits at the north side! It's really steep!

How to beat the Gators : 1. Run the ball. 2. Run the ball some more. 3. Don't throw the ball. 4. Wait for critical turnover. GO, STATE !
