Has anyone had any experience tailgating at Camping World Stadium for games? Going to the UF/Miami game and have not found much information of what lots are allocated for tailgating, if any.

Last I checked, they only have primitive tent sites.

That's all they had when we played Michigan a few years ago. I think that was before they renovated though.

I went last year for the Bama/Louisville opener, hot as hell and it rained 30 minutes before kick off humidity was fricking brutal.

There will be lots available close to the stadium if you go ahead an purchase a pass now with some decent tailgate spots if you get there early and can camp out under trees, etc. But overall not a good tailgate experience.

I'm spoiled rotten, and I refuse to go to another Bama opener unless it's in AT&T or the Benz stadiums. AC, cash bar, and the amenities are worth the price - Orlando sucks and Tampa too.

Mickey Mouse Town is the worst place in our state, no doubt.

I was afraid that was gonna be the answer.

I guess I should have been more specific. We being a pull behind smoker and make a whole spread.

Florida Michigan at Jerry World wasn’t terrible for just a parking lot. You were allowed to tailgate on the perimeter.

Any spots like that?

Orlando. August. Standing around a smoker all day in a parking lot. I absolutely love smoking some meat but you are describing my absolute hell I think.

The only great places to ever tailgate for football games is on a college campus. I wish they would quit making these big non-conference games at neutral sites and just let them do home and homes on a college campus. The environment and atmospheres are so much better at college campuses

Tailgating is going to suck there. Go to stonewall bar, it’s a 15 minute walk to the stadium.

Went there a few years ago for the Camping World Bowl (vs. Miami too, actually). Anyway, I would say we had an overall pretty negative experience there. Our parking pass/lot info said no tailgating (with a warning you'd be kicked out of the lot if you did) but that was not enforced whatsoever. Sucked because we would have brought much more had we known it wasn't going to be enforced as we wanted to tailgate. Pretty annoying. Miami fans were god awful to make it worse. Neighborhood around the stadium also wasn't the best, either. Not sure I'd go back, TBH.
