Saturday will be my first trip to Gainesville. I've been trying to go for years but something always came up. I have been seing for years here that their fans are pretty shitty to visiting fans. But is there anything else of importance that I need to know? Anything there that important that I don't need to miss?

They are bad, but no worse than that i have experiences in T-Town, or Ole Miss. just dont be a jackass and you will avoid 99% of what is "told" on here. Ill be there. Probably bar tailgating since i know no one setting up a spot.

Their fans are just like ours as far as rowdiness and rudeness goes. They have no upside of the immediate hospitality we show after being rude though.

Park across from the UF Neurology building/hospital in the parking garage at the intersection of Gale Lemerand Dr and Archer. Take the Archer exit off of I-75 and follow it all the way down to Gale Lemerand Dr, (about 2 1/2 miles)the garage will be on your right, UF Neurolgy on the left. Usually lots of LSU fans in their RVs right next to the garage. The garage is unattened (free). Getting to the Stadium is a pretty decent walk from there (about a mile) but you just go straight down Gale Lemerand Dr (heading north) and it will lead you right up to the stadium.

Don't even bother trying to tailgate with the way cops treat opposing fans.

When walking around - they will hammer you for open container. Even putting it in an unmarked cup is difficult and not worth it - ALSO - only walk on the sidewalks/crosswalks while you have the right of way - tried to step around a crowd in the street and that invited a search and confiscation of whisk.
Basically, walk dry to a bar, get loaded there, then walk dry to the stadium.

They have the WORST fans in the SEC. They will try to start fights and throw stuff at you. At least in 2010. Talk to anyone who has been. They'll tell you the same thing. frick them.

We took the RV in 08. Do not. I repeat do not get caught in public with an open container.
