Top 20 college football stadiums you must see in your lifetime
11. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
School: Florida
Location: Gainesville, Fla.
Capacity: 91,916
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, also known as “The Swamp”, has a very unique atmosphere and feeling to feeling inside the venue. The stadium has noticeable features on all sides outside as well, from the ramps at the south end of the stadium to the concourses and press boxes rising above the actual bleachers on the east side.
The Swamp is the largest college stadium in Florida and also generally the most amazing to witness in person. FSU fans might have a bone to pick with that statement, but Florida has averaged more than 10,000 more fans per game than the Noles and The Swamp is larger as well.
The most recent expansion for Ben Hill Griffin Stadium happened in 2008 to expand it beyond 90,000 seats to the nearly 92,000 capacity it has today.
The 2008 expansion happened as a result of the Urban Meyer-led squads that brought home two National Championships under quarterbacks Chris Leak and Tim Tebow during the 2006 and 2008 campaigns.
