Mizzou will be making there first trip to "The Swamp" this weekend and I was curious about what makes it so special. After you finish looking at the the image below it would seem that half of the stadium is empty. When filled with a bunch of reptiles it doesn't seem that daunting, and It would seem The Zou= The Swamp I think we need to re-rank the stadiums in the SEC. The Swamp isn't in the top 10 and "The Zou" moves into top 5

Playing at the Swamp is almost as bad as playing at Death Valley. You tigers haven't experienced anything like these venues. I'll enjoy the deer in the headlights look this weekend.

Missouri probably has the worst stadium in the SEC. Maybe better than Vandy's or Kentuckys because I honestly forgot what they look like.

Aw man Missouri plays @ The Swamp?

I thought MAYBE they had a chance at home. But no fricking way in The Swamp.

Gonna agree with you. Nothing special about The Swamp.

Since not many Gator fans are weighing I'll pinch hit.

I think it was Spurrier who named it that.
The playing field at the Swamp is actually dug into the ground.

It has a reputation for noise (lots of noise) and most teams playing afternoon games there aren't acclimated to the heat/humidity.

The last two seasons were somewhat anomalies (Meyer sans Tebow and Muschamp trying to fit a square spread into a pro-style O) but UF has an impressive home record.

It's not even fun when Mizzou fans troll like this.

what truly makes the swamp special... it's named after a dropout farmer awesome place to go visit, shitty place to play as a visitor.

Only two ways this plays out:

Gators dine on tiger meat, or

Choke on fur balls!

Look for the girl in the magic dress if you are going into the swamp.

Fail. The Swamp is a tough place to play, very unique stadium.

my Dawgs don't have to play there and im glad about that....The Swamp is right behind Death Valley and maybe Nayland as the loudest in the SEC...

dumb Yankee mizzou fans...why did we let them in the SEC again?
