This is the norm, most of the rest is exaggerated but if it keeps LSU fans from polluting Gainesville, please keep repeating the horror stories. Bottom line, show respect for the cops and you will not be bothered.

In my experience this is BS. If you are wearing colors of the opposing team you are likely going to be harassed by GPD. On our last trip to Gainesville, we were quietly sitting on the bed of a pickup truck drinking beer poured into plastic Solo cups. No music playing, only five of us talking. We were approached by GPD forced to empty our cups and told we would be written up if we did it again. Meanwhile, the tailgates right by us were not bothered at all. Of course they were not wearing purple and/or gold.
