Besides football, why are Florida crowds and stadium facilities so shitty?

Florida's basketball arena should have been wild last night. They were desparate and coming off a gigantic win over Auburn, but the atmosphere against a ranked Arkansas team that hadn't won there in 27 yrs was quite underwhelming. Besides only a couple of times near the end of the second half, the crowd was terrible.

Florida's baseball stadium is also this way. Not only is it one of the shittiest looking parks in the league among the powerhouse teams, it seems to have no atmosphere at all. Plus, why the hell would you build a giant block wall behind home plate? You have given away the best seat in the house for no reason.



This isn't even a troll. I'm just genuinly curious how one of the better athletic departments in the nation has such shitty fan experience in so many major sports.

It’s been two years since they played there.

People are apathetic about the current state of the basketball program. At Florida, the expectation for our basketball program has been tournament runs/ sweet 16 appearances. Unlike Arky, we’ve been to 5 final fours over the last 2 decades and a couple natties so the fanbase doesn’t give a shite about mediocre results of the last few years and a win over Auburn won’t change that. People know this team sucked regardless and change is needed.

UF's swimming and gymnastics facilities are subpar but recruiting classes are excellent, just wondering. I know the coaching staffs are top. IMO, it shows that top facilities are overrated and coaching and relationships are still more important.

Florida fans are fairly jaded when it comes to anything other than football.

Mike white has sucked all the life out of that program and fan interest could not be lower.

Basketball has been a problem for awhile but baseball facilities are great. Even the old stadium was nice.
