Two threads about Florida by LSU fans in one day. Rustled cause you can't beat Florida in anything lately, I suppose. While Florida has your attention, kick FSU's arse for us, please

Sad that that's the standard for tailgating at UF.


That is why I tailgate off campus north of the stadium.

UPD are assholes to anyone who does not pay for the privilege of tailgating on campus, especially opposing teams. Our last president was a killer of fun in all aspects. I hope they reverse some of that but the people who have influence are left alone.

I have been there twice and can say I will never go to Gainesville again. Their food sucks - fine dining in Gainesville is eating at an Applebee's. The fan base has an incredible inflated opinion of their football program and I do not know why. They have won 3 NC's which is okay, but so has LSU. I would recommend picking another place for a road trip.

Pretty sure it was either UFPD or GPD that hit Joakim Noah up with an open container charge post-Championships.

If the man that won them two NCs isn't safe, neither are you.


Holy shite we are completely fricked if we go

First of all, y'all are not UF's superbowl. That is FSU then Bama.

With that out of the way:

GPD and UF cops will go after opposing fans when they are blackout drunk or drinking with an open container. That will always be the case.

Drink out of a solo cup or non clear container. They will leave you alone.

If you can not get on campus to set up tailgating early, there is a ton of parking at houses north of the stadium.

University avenue is closed to vehicles 3 hours before the game and 2 hours after.

Pretty much everywhere has a law against open containers. It's just that not every place has douchebag cops that can't lighten up. But it's fine, UF can be Saudi Arabia West if they want to be

The one and only time I went to Gainesville, we had cops come up to our tailgate three times. Everyone was drinking out of solo cups, our music wasn't loud at all, and we weren't harassing opposing fans in the slightest as they walked by. They ID'ed everyone looking for underage drinking, made us shut down our beer pong table, and had us turn the music completely off. Glad I went to say that I have been there (would like to visit every SEC stadium once), but I have zero intention of going back. Overall miserable experience.


Um, yea, didn't happen.

Been to plenty of games in Gainesville. They know how to party there and cops walking around leave everyone alone unless they get complaints from other groups about a group harassing another one or where they do not respect that children are around.

So, this didn't happen or y'all were really jerks acting like Miami fans.

Oh, well ok then. I have distinct memories of it happening since, you know, I was there for it. But if you say it didn't happen, it must have all just been one crazy dream.

The only time I've had trouble was when I was drunk and acting like a drunk, jackass college student. Don't walk around with an open container and you'll be fine. That's pretty normal everywhere. Have fun at the houses you'll be around a bunch of people having a good time

seems like a covered solo cup is the key here.
