I envy you that trip. I have a bud who has been there a few times. Will pick his brain.

My Brother In Law got down for the same game a couple of times.
He remembered this place:
Shamrock's
After enough low cost Guiness I guess its not surprising he remembered little esle.

Never been there, but I've heard you could use ear plugs. Not cause it's especially loud, but you get sick of hearing "It's great to be a florida gaytor."

Great atmosphere! Loudest Stadium I've ever been in!
They are loud constantly,even thru timeouts...it's ridiculous! As for pregame festivities, I remember we headed "up" the main drag/"to the left" of Ben Hill if you're facing the front of the stadium and found all kinds of parties to "crash" and mingle...good times!

Make sure your immunizations are up to date and retain your sanity by knowing they don't leave the area often so the gene pool is, for the most part, safe.
Other than that I'll give you my condolences ahead of time. Any time spent with Gator fans is time spent poorly. They have Miami arrogance, Purdue tradition and make Marshall fans look like a MENSA chapter.

Nose plugs are recommended. You'll be near thousands of sweaty fans constantly flapping their fully extended arms up and down doing that Gator chomp.
