Going to Gainesville for the first time and was wondering how strict they are about open containers while tailgating? And can you get a flask though security when entering the stadium? I've never have problems other places but heard Gainesville was strict.

I'll tell ya you can't just walk around with an open drink......it is confined to "tailgate areas."

Probably my least favorite opponent to tailgate at. Go to say you have been once, but I would be willing to bet come Monday you would have rathered just watching it at home. Alcohol is confined to deaignated areas, and I see no reason you couldn't get a well hidden flask in.

I went to gainsville two years ago and had a good time....I wouldn't bring it into the stadium, as I remember them being pretty strict (particularly on the P&G crowd)....outside was no problem, though...drinking was not a problem on campus as long as you are civil, but if you get off campus you would be arrested quickly...basically, don't cross that road that runs by the stadium with an open container and you are fine...

You need to be very careful. They are like Nazis in Gainesville.

I enjoyed myself in 2010. I had zero problems and carrying alcohol was no issue for me. The tailgating is few and far between though, really shitty pregame atmosphere.

My goodness it's awful. You have to think of where you are constantly AND be drunk at the same time. It's exhausting.

They are definitely more strict than the other campuses I have visited. I've been to Gainesville a couple of times but I don't plan on going back. I'm not a big fan of their pregame atmosphere, give me Bama, Auburn, UGA, etc over UF any day of the week. Now, I was impressed with the actual game atmosphere but nothing before that.

Can selling beer help college fans drink less?

I will never go back to Gainsville thats for sure. For one the drive is terrible and UF fans are, well UF fans. Now maybe in 2010 they were not that bad because they were no longer a top 10 program but the 2 times I went they were horrible to tailgate with.

I will just watch it on TV as others stated.
