personally i would fly into jacksonville..it is a large airport and very easy to navigate from jville to gville..the drive is 1.5hr max

if you do plan to come for a fri, sat and sunday, take time to enjoy the springs that are about 10-15 miles north of gainesville..float a cooler down the river with you and your friends...bad arse time

i would stay away from downtown which is mainly the night club scene...the cops are dicks there...friday nights i would stop by the grog house for all u can drink beer...get there early so you can get a table,fills up fast..saturday morning head over to the swamp restaurant and enjoy some beers behind that famous white fence and watch the games of the day on the big screen

avoid carrying open containers if you are a visiting fan...the cops are dicks and will single u out...you should be ok if you stay in your general tailgait area with your drink..do not walk around with one

if your interested in seeing the gator walk it happens 1.5 hours b4 kickoff on university ave

saturday night i recommend either swamp restaurant, grog again, or sharab which is an upscale lounge downtown

hope you guys all enjoy your trips...tailgaiting experience is very different from BR..very spread out..but watching a game in the swamp makes up for our piss poor tailgaiting

if you are under 22, stay the hell away from grog, and if you are going on friday, get there before 8 unless you plan on waiting in a long line to get in (same goes for Gator City/XS)


I'll be posting my complete guide to G-ville the week of the game with more detailed descriptions of most of the bars and places to eat in mid town, downtown and archer rd area.

They treat visiting fans like shite in Gainesville. UFPD and GPD really abuse their authority on gameday.

They have made UF one of the worst places to visit in the SEC.

Yes, I'm a cop of more than 20 years so I am justified saying this.
