So you're saying that a drunk FL fan had the foresight, preparation, and mental impairment necessary to smuggle a snake into the stadium in hopes that a dime-bish would be sitting near enough that he could set a snake free in her dress, AND that he as poised, fast, and smooth enough to get said snake into the FRONT of this girl's dress?
That's either a load of shite or he was the most dedicated horny frick in history.

The Swamp is damn loud. Anyone who says otherwise has never been there. They pack 90,000 fans in a very small space bc of the design of the stadium, and that design is what makes it loud

Honestly, I'm not sure why the Tiger faithful make this road trip. It's an absolute nightmare.

Hate the fans and hate the police. I cant argue that. Im sure there are a bunch of a-hole fans that give visitors hell (every stadium has them though). Hating the swamp is dumb though. Game day atmosphere in that stadium is second to none.

Went to Bama/UF last October. Stadium is a dump. Was loud on the first TD, then got quiet. For an undefeated team at the time, the crowd gave up really quickly.
But tailgating was great. Parked in one of the grass parking lots on campus where a lot of the RVs were. Grilled, drank and mingled with Gator fans. Had a really good time. Never saw a campus (or any other) cop.

So you mean to tell me that we were loud as hell to start the game? We were loud when we were lighting up your defense/secondary in the 1st half (200 yards passing)? We were loud when we were beating y'all, throwing it all over the field, scoring/moving at will. But then our senior QB gets hurt badly, a true freshman 18 year old kid comes in, and we then get our shite pushed in the rest of the game.......we got quiet?? Really?
fricking gumps

No, it died down considerably the first time Bama had the ball and immediately started shredding the collection of 4* and 5* DL & LBs on the ground. I think a sense of inevitability settled in quickly. There were sporadic bursts of enthusiasm the next few Gator drives, but nothing like that first eruption after Dre got burned.

As a die hard Gators fan, here's the deal with the swamp. Yeah, it's a bit of a dump, but almost all college stadiums are. It's not the NFL, where teams get new stadiums every 20 years or so.
The fans, like all schools are hit or miss. Most will leave you alone, if you leave them alone. However, beware of the dreaded ACR (Alachua County Resident). These are the hicks that make Florida the Meth Baking, Wife Beating, Spam Eating Paradise we all know and love.
Gainesville PD is a bunch of A$$holes. However, if you drink by your car and don't carry it around, you should be fine. Best place to park is on campus, but you have to know where to go. If you are new, go to a house by campus and pay someone to park on their yard.
As far as noise, the swamp can absolutely rock. It's steep and right next to the field. There is no where for the sound to escape, so it echos. However, the current students just don't have the passion of the good old Spurrier days. No screaming on defense, and as soon as there is a downturn in momentum, they shut up. I want to Beyatch Slap each one of those Bamma bang wearing pretty boys.
Also, the football team is not the only talent in the stadium. Good God, do I love football saturdays.
FYI, this message board is awesome. LSU weekend is one of the best in G'ville. LSU fans are some of the few that can outdrink me. Trust me, that is an accomplishment.
Go Gators.
