Yeah, the offseason is in full effect

For UF, it's probably Century Tower, which honors those who lost their lives during WWI & WWII.

Fun Fact: There are 61 total bells inside the tower, with the largest bell being 6 feet in diameter & weighing 7,000 lbs.






And yes, I took these pictures with my crappy, old arse, 5.0 megapixel digital camera

P.S. football stadiums do not count

Probably Capstone, with her revolving restaurant, "Top of Carolina."

The University Restaurant that revolves, USC's "Top of Carolina" on The Capstone.

Uhh it's at the front of the quad by university blvd.

All the former captains of the football team have their hands imprinted around the base of the chimes.

It goes off every 15 minutes. There's also a piano inside so it can be played manually at certain occasions.

On UA's campus you'll see a discolored smokestack building, it's actually kind of an eyesore. But the reason it's there is because it is the only building that survives from before the Civil War, during which the Yankees burned down Alabama's campus.
