More on Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
Description from Wikipedia:
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field (better known as The Swamp) is the American football stadium for the University of Florida’s football team, nicknamed the Gators. The stadium and the university are located in Gainesville, Florida. Regularly holding just over 90,000 fans per game, it is the eleventh largest stadium in college football by capacity.
The stadium is on the northern edge of the UF campus, bordered by West University Avenue on the north side, Gale Lemerand Drive (previously named North-South Drive) on the west side, and Stadium Road on the south side. On the east side are the Racquet Club fitness center and Florida Gym as well as Murphree Hall, one of the oldest buildings on campus. On the opposite side of Gale Lemerand Drive are the Stephen C. O'Connell Center, home of the UF basketball, gymnastics, and volleyball teams, and the football team’s practice facilities. Just beyond is Alfred A. McKethan Stadium, home of the UF baseball team.
The Florida Gator football team has played all of their home games on Florida Field with very few exceptions since 1930. The most notable example is the annual contest against the Georgia Bulldogs, which has been played in Jacksonville, Florida almost every year since the 1930s, except in 1994 and 1995, when the old Gator Bowl Stadium was demolished and rebuilt as Jacksonville Municipal Stadium for the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars. The 1994 Florida-Georgia game was played in Gainesville, and the 1995 contest was played at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia.
