University of Florida Gators Football at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
The University of Florida has a football team it can be proud to call its own in the Florida Gators. Florida competes in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference, and they're coached by Dan Mullen, who led the Gators to a 10-3 record, a Peach Bowl victory and a Top 10 finish in his first season in 2018. The Gators play at what is officially known as Steve Spurrier-Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium — far more commonly known as "The Swamp." Ben Hill Griffin Stadium was originally built in 1930, and renovations have increased its capacity to 88,548, growing with the team over the decades.
Florida Gators Football History
The University of Florida has continuously fielded a football team since its inception in 1906, with the notable exception of the 1943 season due to the outbreak of World War II. As charter members of the Southeastern Conference in 1932, the Florida Gators have long-standing rivalries against such schools as Auburn, LSU and Tennessee. The Gators have won three national titles (in 1996, 2006 and 2008) in addition to eight SEC titles and 16 divisional titles since 1991. Three quarterbacks have won the Heisman Trophy for the Gators, including future legendary Florida coach Steve Spurrier in 1966, Danny Wuerffel in 1996 and Tim Tebow in 2007.
The Florida Gators have intense rivalries against in-state non-conference schools Florida State and the University of Miami, along with other schools in the SEC, but their archnemeses are the University of Georgia's Bulldogs, who face Florida annually at Jacksonville's TIAA Bank Field. The Florida-Georgia rivalry is so bitter that neither school can agree on when it started, with Georgia contending that a game played against a predecessor in 1904 was the beginning, and Florida stating that the two schools first officially met in 1915. Florida-Georgia is one of the few remaining neutral site rivalry games in college football, and with divisional, conference and national title hopes often hanging in the balance, it remains one of the most important rivalries in the sport.
The Florida Gator Troy Trojan game was a blast. Albeit the pouring down rain, the Gators played their hardest and pulled out yet another win for the University of Florida. Students were screaming and singing, jumping and laughing, and high-fiving all over the place. I cannot wait to attend the next game.
Purchasing the ticket was a breeze. The game was great.
Well the service was great. I never had a problem with Ticketmaster. I went to the game & it was fun. It was a night game so it wasn't as hot as the day games. The gators cruched the oppposition winning big time. They took Tebow out after the first half. Got to see some cool plays and quite a bit of scoring from the Gators. The team looks good this year but don't know for sure since the team the were playing isn't much competition. People say the Gators should be unstoppable this year and some have gone as far to say that this could be the best college team ever. Well we will just have to see.
we rule ! i love the florida gators! i want to go to every game from now on!
I'm so glad to have gotten a ticket to see my very first football game ever. It was an amazing experience to see the Gators play football, and I will definitely go again if I am lucky enough to get a ticket. Anyone who hasn't seen the Gators play football, needs to go to a game!
THE GAME WAS AWESOME!!! I would recommend this to EVERYONE!!!
The tickets were easy to get at the will call office. The Gator game was awesome. GO GATORS!!!!
The kickoff was mindblowing, the fans roared, and the gators did work!
The game was awesome and the ticket was only ten bucks so it was great... GO GATORS!!!!
The stage was set: the opening game of the 2009 football season for the Florida Gators. More importantly, the last season for Heisman winning, two time BCS winning hero Tim Tebow. From the opening kickoff, the game was completely one sided. Not to say that Charleston Southern put up a fight, however, they was no match for the mighty Gators. After the game was too far out of CSU's reach, Head Coach Urban Meyer decided to put in the backup quarterback, John Brantley, into the game. The successor to Tim Tebow, put up some pretty impressive numbers. Two touchdown passes, 8 for 12, and 67 yards put him at a QB raiting of 168.56. Watching the Florida Gators in their prime is truly a sight to behold. Now, step one of the path to the BCS is complete. Gators 62-CSU 3.
Great first game of the season! The swamp was packed and the gators played a perfect game.
The game was great. Had a blast, couldnt of asked for anything more. I am definately going again.
Gators Dominated! Stuff was exciting while Tebow was playing and quickly died down when he left the field.
The game was definitely worth seeing even though the outcome was expected. Any gator game is recommended when you are amongst ninety thousand other crazy people.
The tickets were easy to purchase, easy to pickup, and very easy to enter the game. I would recommend this to any of my friends who did not get a ticket. You should try every Thursday night at 6pm.
What more can I say, the game was great. Bring cash though for concessions, credit cards are not accepted at every one.
All I have to say is Riley Cooper and Tim Tebow are priceless! It's great to be a florida gator!
Chance to watch the gators first game of the year. Nuff said.
GO GATORS!!! It was a lot of fun, the atmosphere is one of a kind.
Being in the crowd with 90,000 other gator fans in the swamp is truly an experience. Doing the chomp simultaneously with the entire stadium brings the widest smile to my face. I love it!
