Ben Hill Griffin Stadium (Florida)

 


OregonTrail

Rather dull looking stadium on the outside; much more impressive inside. Colorful, uniquely built (each side of the interior looks different) hot and generally quite loud. Regarding the noise, similar to places like Neyland, Death Valley in Baton Rouge and Husky Stadium in Seattle, the noise runs parallel to the quality of the opponent. However, the Swamp's fans tend to make more noise on a consistent basis than the other loud houses in college football. Inside on the concourses, it struck me as a little dark, dank and dumpy. The seating area is a bit cramped, but that seems to be a problem that plagues all the stadiums that have upwards of 90,000 capacities. Unlike a place like Michigan Stadium, however, there are a lot more exits that allow a bit easier access to and from your seat. Overally, a fun environment to watch a game............BUT.............. ***..........Hopefully you'll be fortunate enough to be near fans that haven't been drinking since the Wednesday before the game. The intoxication level I noticed in the Swamp seems ridiculously high even by current sporting event standards. The worst thing was watching security people act as if people falling over themselves, knocking other fans over, spitting on fans etc. was perfectly fine behavior. I had heard this about Gators fans but reserved judgment until visiting there myself. Sadly, all that I heard appears to be true.
