This iconic stadium is something to behold. You feel the history when you walk into it. There is an energy. The only issue I have is it feels dated despite relatively recent improvements. Nonetheless, "The Swamp" does not disappoint.
It was awesome to be able to go on the field. Apparently during off season everyone can go into the stadium and walk around. People were jogging around the mezzanine and playing football on the field. Pretty cool to stand right on the 50 yard line too! Go to gate 18 to get in
Sat on East side. What a dump, I have been to stadiums all over and this is the worst. Had three seats and we are small people and could not all fit on our seat number. No leg room. The guy behind me had is knees in my back the whole game. Stairs.. really 2’ wide could not pass those coming down or up. Fans hallways way to small. Old school bathrooms. Sound system is High School at best. Some guy donated over 12 million and was honored. I bet not one penny will be put into upgrades of the stadium. Nor will any of that Big SEC Money. Sad.. The Swamp should be called The Dump. The only thing good was the crowd support. Needs upgrade, upgrade, upgrade.
This stadium is another crucial part of the University of Florida. Many great games are hosted here and the history behind the stadium is fascinating. The stadium was open for free during the day and we recommend visiting if you are in Gainesville. The Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is definitely an amazing part of UF.
I've been waiting my whole life to visit the Swamp in Gainesville, FL. It did not disappoint at all. I am a die hard LSU fan, and decided to travel with the team this year. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is the place to go and see a football game at. Still 2nd to Tiger Stadium!!
No other stadium compares to Ben Hill Griffin. Game day starts at 10 no matter what time the game is. Tailgating is all over the area and when you enter the stadium, the energy is crazy. 90000 + fans and it’s loud!!! The Swamp is an incredible experience. Not a football fan.. just come to the stadium during the week and you will see college students running up the stands exercising. It’s special. Plenty to see with the bronze statues and my fav… bull gator
Love football games and the gators the football games are super packed but so fun everyone is so enthusiastic and the stadium itself is just really nice the only thing I dislike about the football games is that they are so hot but it is still something I recommend everyone in Gainesville to go to a football game
Got to walk into and view the stadium from the inside. It's cool they let you do that. Really nice
Go Gators! Love the swamp! Even up in the cheap seats the experience is great. The top section is actually great for families because the seats are a little more spread apart vs closer to the field.
What a great stadium to experience first hand!!! They serve beer !! SEC road games are indescribable!!! Wheeewwww NON STOP action!!! GEAUX TIGAHS!!!
