About Ben Hill Griffin Stadium

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is an open-air college football stadium located at the University of Florida in Gainesville. It opened in 1930 as Florida Field, was named Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in 1989, and has been expanded and renovated numerous times since. Owned and operated by the University of Florida, it holds approximately 88,500 fans for football, making it one of the largest stadiums in the NCAA.

The stadium is the home of Florida Gators football, an NCAA program in the SEC, and it primarily hosts Division I college football games, including conference, rivalry, and non-conference matchups. It is also used for university events, commencement-related activities, and special gatherings. Over decades of SEC football, the venue has hosted major games against opponents such as Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, and South Carolina.

Widely regarded as one of the toughest road environments in college football, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is nicknamed “The Swamp,” a name tied to coach Steve Spurrier and the stadium’s reputation for deafening noise, Florida heat, and an intimidating game-day atmosphere.

Location & Transportation

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is located at 157 Gale Lemerand Drive, Gainesville, FL 32601 — on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville.

Driving and Parking: On-campus and nearby lots serve game day, with many spaces reserved for permit holders, boosters, and students. General public parking is more limited, and lots fill well before kickoff. Traffic around campus is heavy on game days, so arriving early is strongly advised.

Transit: Regional Transit System buses serve the University of Florida campus and offer game-day routes. UF’s campus shuttle network also connects nearby lots and campus points. Gainesville has no rail transit, so buses, campus shuttles, and walking are the primary non-car options for reaching the stadium.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate throughout Gainesville and the UF area. Designated drop-off and pickup zones are typically set up near campus on game days. After the game, expect congestion and longer wait times as large crowds leave the area.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are available throughout Gainesville, including near the UF campus, along Archer Road, SW 13th Street, and Interstate 75. Game-day weekends sell out well in advance, so early booking is recommended for the easiest access.

Venue Navigation

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is a large, steep bowl with multiple gates around the perimeter, lower and upper seating areas, end-zone sections, and premium spaces. Understanding your gate and section before arrival helps you move through the stadium more efficiently on busy SEC game days.

Entrances and Access: Multiple gated entrances ring the stadium bowl, with gates numbered around the perimeter. Fans enter according to their seating section, while student and general admission entrances are designated separately.

Seating Levels: The stadium uses a bowl configuration with lower and upper seating, end-zone sections, and premium club and suite areas. Concourses wrap the stadium and include concessions and restrooms.

Accessibility: ADA and accessible seating and services are available. Accessible parking and entry accommodations are provided for guests with disabilities.

Getting to Your Section: Gate and section signage helps guide fans around the concourse. The steep bowl involves many stairs, so comfortable footwear is recommended. Knowing your gate before arrival can also speed entry at this large, multi-gate stadium.

Dining Options

Inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium offers standard stadium concessions, including hot dogs, burgers, snacks, soft drinks, and water. Premium and club areas provide upgraded food service. Lines typically build before kickoff and at halftime, so planning food and drink stops outside the busiest moments can make game day smoother.

Outside the Venue — University Avenue and Midtown

Gainesville’s University Avenue and the Midtown district just north of campus offer bars, restaurants, and game-day gathering spots near the stadium. Additional dining options are available along Archer Road and SW 13th Street, giving fans several places to meet before or after a Gators game.

Security & Policies

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, large bags, coolers, umbrellas, professional cameras, and other items under university and SEC game-day policy.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is generally not permitted once fans have entered. Re-entry rules can vary by event and are shown on the event listing.

Entry Procedures: Expect bag checks, security screening or metal detection, and mobile ticket verification at the gates. Digital ticketing is standard, and arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets helps speed entry.

How Much Do Tickets to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium Cost?

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the opponent, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from lower-demand non-conference football games to marquee SEC rivalry matchups.

For college football non-conference or lower-demand games, upper-level seats can start as low as the low tens of dollars. These games often provide the most accessible entry point for fans who want to experience The Swamp at a lower price.

For SEC conference games, prices are typically mid-range and often run from about $75 to $200 or more depending on the matchup and seat location. Sideline seats generally command higher prices than end-zone or upper-deck options.

For marquee rivalry and high-demand games, especially matchups involving major SEC opponents or ranked teams, sideline and premium seats can run several hundred dollars or more. Demand, sellout status, opponent quality, and date all influence pricing.

With long sellout streaks for Gators home games, buying earlier generally secures better selection and pricing, especially for marquee games. As inventory shrinks and the game date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise.

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium Seating Guide

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium’s seating layout is worth understanding before buying because the steep bowl, lower and upper levels, end-zone sections, and premium areas all create different views, price points, and game-day experiences.

• Premium and suite options: Club seating, suites, and premium hospitality areas serve buyers looking for upgraded amenities, elevated service, and group-friendly options.

Getting Ready for Your Ben Hill Griffin Stadium Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a large open-air stadium on the University of Florida campus.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Large sellout crowds can congest cellular networks around the stadium. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Campus traffic and parking lots fill early on game days. Get there well ahead of kickoff to allow time for parking, tailgating, security lines, and walking to the stadium.
• Wear the right footwear. The steep bowl involves many stairs and plenty of walking, so comfortable shoes make a difference from entry through the final whistle.
• Dress in layers. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is an open-air venue exposed to Florida heat and humidity, intense sun during early-season day games, and afternoon thunderstorms. Sun protection, hydration, and rain preparedness are all smart game-day choices.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Game-day traffic around campus is heavy, and shuttles, buses, rideshare zones, and walking routes all take longer when crowds are moving toward kickoff.
• Know your entrance. Your gate and section information help you approach the right side of the stadium and save time at this large, multi-gate venue.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
