the swamp

Ben Hill Griffen Stadium, also known as the swamp, is home of the Florida Gators football team. one of the top 10 largest college stadiums it holds over 90,000 people. it got its name as the swamp because a coach in the early 90's said this..  ". . . a swamp is where Gators live. We feel comfortable there, but we hope our opponents feel tentative. A swamp is hot and sticky and can be dangerous. Only Gators get out alive.". it is a stadium i have gotten to visit and its atmosphere is something like no other.
