I was at the LSU auburn game 2 weeks ago... Auburns stadium atmosphere > Florida stadium atmosphere
I've gone to a number of games at Auburn and at UF. I agree Auburn crowd is louder, no doubt. UF fans are more arrogant but that does not equate with louder.

I got two tickets from cops wearing gator pins. The tickets were for wreckless driving. One was given while I was in line at a Wendy's and the other when I was getting gas.
I was called every name in the book while tailgating. One guy came up to me and called me a f*ggot corndog. I told him it wasn't necessary and offered him a burger. He knocked it out of my hand and then punched my 10 year old daughter in the stomach before running off.
When we scored the first fg, I high fived my wife. The gators around me must not have liked that, so they through me down the stadium steps. I got up only to be tackled by a security guard. He tased me and hit me with I guess his club. I woke up in the hospital this morning. My daughter and wife each had a black eye and some bruises.
All in all, it was alright, but I have my doubts about returning. We'll see.

How loud was the Swamp?
Loudest outside of TS.
Where did you tailgate?
On SW15th by Norman Hall
What bars/clubs/parties did you go to?
None. We got in late, and left after the game.
Where did you eat?
Fast food in Lake City.
Go anywhere on campus?
How were Gator fans?
There were some nice fans, but most were pretty douchey. One threw an apple at us, and most were just plain rude. I'd say 30% were assholes, 20% were great, and 50% were neutral.
Gainesville Police?
Met an officer outside of gate 15, who was just awesome. Brought him some jambalaya. Guys in the stadium were dicks. "I'll kick your arse if you stand on the seat again...."
Overall experience??

The tailgating scene was very subpar. The stadium was rocking. The fans were average.

swamp was loud and fun, fans were obnoxious but not too bad, tailgating was good at the LSU tailgates, didn't go anywhere (I'm in the band), I mostly ate fast food (Shrimp Shack in Mobile is legit), it was a fun trip. The game was exciting despite the loss, so I had fun.

Didn't tailgate; bar-hopped instead. We hopped from a few bars. Near the Swamp (the bar, not the stadium) was a cool collection of several bars within one area of walkways.
The Swamp was very loud. On the 7th row at the 35 so got the full bowl affect.
Was expecting the worst based on previous posts, but several came up to us after the game at the bars and shook our hands and said, "good game".
Got some references about corndogs when we walked by some fraternity houses, but who cares.
BTW, went to my church fair today and ate something I don't normally do. I had a corndog!

Your fans boo'd injured LSU players.

I was about halfway up and didn't think it was all that loud. First half they were dead, only got noisy when they got ahead/LSU players were injured. I was kinda disappointed. Didn't have any problems with fans. They were not nearly as intimidating as they are made out to be. Tailgating was lower half of the SEC quality.
Fun trip but I expected a better atmosphere for a Top 10 matchup.

It was decent overall. UF fans booing our injured players and calling Tiger Band figs when marching out of the stadium was all poor taste though. 
ETA: Auburn was louder.

Wasn't that loud. Auburn > Florida

We had shite thrown at us the entire game in LSU's student section until they started winning of course. Then some old bitch had the balls to tell me that I should be glad they were just throwing ice and cups and not gum at us.
Auburn and Bama's stadiums put the swamp to shame. It's highly overrated in my opinion.
And their fans are the Jersey Shore type. You'll see more fake tittys and asses than at a strip club. I've been to a ton of away games and Florida girls win. Even the LSU and Florida men were commenting on the slutty outfits they were wearing.
Definitely least favorite SEC away game experience. Too many alcohol rules and trashy fans.

I went expecting the worst after listening to the comments on this board. Other than the loss, we had a good time. Unfortunately, my daughters first LSU game was a loss.
I thought the stadium would have been louder, I have been in louder venues. We just walked around campus for an hour or so before game time.
Worst verbal abuse we took was having corn dog yelled a couple of times before and after the game. During the game I had a Florida fan sitting on one side. We got along fine and talked football from before the game started until the end. We shook hands at the start of the game and at the end. The guy was pleasant to sit next to even though we were pulling for different teams.
I saw plenty of cops around the campus. I only saw one group of girls get hassled and they were UF girls.
Overall it was a good experience. Living in South Florida, I would go back as the drive is not that far.

We met a group of Gators that was really cool. They invited us in and gave us booze. Aside from them your fans suck. No offense, I I know there are assholes in every fan base, but the majority of the FL fans I came in contact with were dipshits. Throwing corndogs in the street, throwing a shoulder into me deliverately as they walked past, gator chomp 2 feet from my face after the game.
Truest test of class is winning with grace. In my experice FL fans don't win gracefully.

And i dont understand people saying the stadium was loud because it wasnt.
