Florida Tailgate & Fan Tips

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium · Gainesville, FL

Florida
Stadium|Pregame|Atmosphere

Where the real pregame happens. Bars, lots, and traditions that define Florida Gators Saturdays.

Florida tailgating is massive and energetic—BBQ, gameday vibes, and Gator pride across campus lots and nearby areas.

Prime Spots: Flavet Field (central campus, grassy area), Fraternity/Sorority Row lots, and surrounding campus parking—free/first-come. Many fans set up early with grills and tents.
Reserved Options: Book premium via REVELxp (official partner) for tents, catering, electricity in designated areas.
Nearby Bars for Pre/Post-Game: Midtown Gainesville (University Ave)—The Swamp Restaurant (classic Gator spot), Gator's Dockside, or The Social (watch parties/drinks). Walk or shuttle from tailgate areas.
PRO TIP
Stake out your tailgate spot 3 hours before kickoff — the best lots fill fast.
