re: Gainesville on Game Day

Went for the 1st time 2 years ago. There are shuttle buses that leave from a shopping mall starting roughly 5 hours before kickoff. Went early and ate and drank at the Ruby Tuesdays and mingled with other LSU and Gator fans. Buses dropped us off near the LSU local alumni tailgate just down the street from the stadium. Those guys had tents set up and were cooking. Seats and TV - we watched SC kick Bamas arse. For drinks, brought cheap soft coolers on the bus with beer iced down and discarded before going to the game. After the game, there was a bit of a line to go back, but it moved quickly and had a good time talking to the LSU and Gator fans in line. Buses get priority for getting to and from the stadium - glad I wasn't sitting in traffic.

For all the things I had heard about going to Florida, wife and I had a good time and had no problems.
