You’re in for an experience…it won’t be good but you’ll be glad you did it and glad it’s over.

Fans are trash dbags. You’ll see nothing but Tebow jerseys, jorts, really hot girls and inbred looking dudes. It’s weird..the girls are fine but the guys look like straight trash. Tons of opportunity if going with a bunch of bachelors.

Not a fun trip. Pay 20 bucks to park in a frat house yard. Don’t carry an open container on campus.

Based on my experience, if you sit directly behind the goalposts, pay attention during field goal warmups. It really hurts to get hit in the face by a 40-yard field goal.

That was the highlight of the trip.

Will never go back - make 2 road trips a year - Gainesville failed on every front - if you bring family/children the on campus tailgating is nonexistent - so you go to the row of bars with shot girls all over - bad for family environment - if you make it an all guys trip - it’s the same but the shot girls are not worth it - it is a tinker toy stadium - I have loved almost every road trip and have made them multiple times but will never go back there

Ok. Sounds like it may disappoint. But I am going.

Any good ideas on parking or hotels.

Don’t walk around with alcohol whatsoever wearing our colors. Their cops will make you dump yours out while letting those wearing those ugly arse blue and orange continue walking their way with theirs.

Stay in Orlando and Skip the game. Go to universal studios instead. You’ll have a better time

It really might be the bottom of the barrel as far as SEC stadiums/experiences. I’ve been to every SEC stadium besides Missouri and Texas 8&4. I’ve been to Gainesville 3 times and it’s very meh, but worth scratching off a bucket list.

ETA: The cops in Florida are absolutely looking to pull over Louisiana plates that weekend! You will see many cars pulled over on the way home.

Everytime we go, we make it just a day trip. Fly in 2 hours before the game and then fly out immediately after. Literally we only go to watch the game in person

Ok. You have been 3 times. Where do you park. And do you just stay in Orlando or Jacksonville.

Orlando.

Uber from there. It’s actually cheaper than paying to park in the lots believe it or not

I used to think Tennessee and, Neyland Stadium had the worst fans in the SEC … then I went to a Florida game in Gainesville.

We stayed in an RV one year, all the way by interstate another, and a Holiday Inn by campus. I don’t really have any advice there. I think the RV experience was the most memorable.

The worst experience I’ve ever encountered at a road game. And I did it twice! It’s never too late to cancel. Believe me, you will regret it.
