Hey Florida Fans - help a SEC friend out regarding gameday parking

Hi folks,
Didn't want to ask for permission to the Florida board just to ask one question, but if this needs to be moved or delete, I will do that.
I'm going to be in Gainesville for the game next Saturday with UT. My 81 year old FIL is a huge UT fan, and we have started a tradition where I'm taking him to a UT game each year and this year we are invading Gainesville.
He gets around OK, but I would like to either be able to prepay if possible, or find a parking location where we could ride a shuttle to the gates and back after the game, so we aren't trying to make a multi mile walk either before or after the game.
Any suggestions would be appreciated? I know UK has a shuttle that runs from Rupp Arena to CWS before, during and after games, so I'm thinking something like that would be the best fit for what I am trying to do.
And if I need to ask for access to the Florida board for this question, I will. TIA

Go frick yourself.
Just kidding.
From the sounds of it. Sounds like using the gator aider shuttle would be a good bet. It picks up at the mall, which is right off the interstate, as well as a few other locations. It drops off next to the stadium. Costs like $15 or something per person.
Or you could pay a good bit of money and park in the neighborhoods across the street from the stadium to get some good parking. You're looking at $50 for prime parking and getting cheaper the further you get from the stadium.

We are staying in Ocala and will be coming north on I75, so that might be the best bet. What is the name of the mall? And I wouldn't balk at paying $50 to park pretty close to the stadium, if that were an option. But I'm thinking to get there maybe 2 hours before game time, would I be able to find something around that time?

We parked close to the stadium for $15 in a church parking lot, but get there early.

If you happen to have a handicap placard there is free handicap parking in garage IX. They run shuttles from the garage to the stadium. The whole garage used to be free but it looks like that may have changed since I was there last.

I wouldn't suggest trying to park next to the stadium a couple of hours before the game, they close down roads next to it.
There may be an exception for the handicap lot mentioned.

Great, thanks. Was trying to find something about the shuttle locations.

No parking. Terrible tailgating. Extreme fricking heat. You lose 45-7. Im never going back.
Eta. I spent 2 hours looking for my car and only found 2 people fricking outside a frat house.

Any residence on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd offers free parking and limousine shuttle (for $1.00) straight to the stadium.
Hope you guys enjoy your time in God's country! Drink plenty of water because the heat can be brutal!
