Figured this would be useful for some. Figured it's good to post here since a lot of you will be coming to Gainesville this year. If you didn't know, Gainesville Police Department and University Police at UF are notorious for writing tickets for open-container on gameday.

Let me know if you need more info. I'll post it on the Florida message board too so it can be easily found.

Is Calloway injured? Or still suspended? Either way, go Gata!

You guys will beat the Vols.

LSUAlum's guide to avoid getting arrested in Gainesville...

1. Don't go to Gainesville, it sucks.
2. If you don't follow rule #1, don't wear your team's colors.
3. If you don't follow rules #1 and #2, you're fricked, bring bail money.

Very helpful. Thanks!

Best place to park? Would probably prefer to park a little farther out and walk farther if it will help with traffic.

Your cops don't turn a blind eye on Gameday? What a fricking joke. Get out of the Big 6

Just don't be a dumbass and you'll be fine. I enjoyed my alcoholic beverages both outside and inside the stadium when I went to Gainesville.

This is what I don't like about attending games in person, too many loud idiots who have had too much to drink.

It's really sad when fans do not have the freedom to enjoy game day like that want to. Just another way for the city and state to make money

The city is looking at allowing open container midtown and downtown on game days so hopefully this is the last year they're "strict".

Posting this is useful and appreciated.

It's also pathetic that it's necessary because tailgating in Gainesville is so shitty thanks to the GPD.

Why does Florida have to be so terrible?

From the terrible fans, the terrible tailgating, the sad coach, why is Florida so terrible?

Serious question.

I think you may want to edit that map.

A buddy of ours was arrested for consuming alcohol right across from the entrance of Ben Hill Griffin on University Ave. He was doing NOTHING. He just had an open Miller Lite can. He wasn't even saying anything to anyone at the time (another buddy was inside one of the buildings taking a piss). It was early, too. Like noon.

We were outside one of the school buildings directly to the left of the Alumni building and these statues:
