The University of Florida Gators Football program is always one of the toughest and most exciting college football teams in the country. The team celebrated its 100 year anniversary in 2006 by winning the national championship. The Florida Gators have another national title under their belt from 1996 and 7 conference titles. Having suited up such legendary players as Steve Spurrier, Emmitt Smith, Chris Collinsworth, and Danny Weurfel, the Florida Gators has long brought some of the nation’s top talent to Gainesville, Florida. A home game at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is a sight to see. The Florida Gators first fielded a varsity football team in 1906. The Gators joined the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Associate (SIAA) and then the Southern Conference before joining the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in 1932. Florida’s first era of real success was in the 1960’s under coach Ray Graves when, with the help of Heisman quarterback and future coach Steve Spurrier, the Florida Gators won a record 70 home games in a row. The team had more success in the ‘80’s, the 1984 squad being one of the best college teams ever assembled. Steve Spurrier would return to the team as a coach, giving the team one of the best winning percentages in the country starting in 1990. Who can forget the national championship season in 1996 when Florida played their cross-state rivals, Florida State Seminoles? Under the leadership of Heisman winner Danny Weurfel the Florida Gators won 52-20, avenging their one loss to Florida State earlier in the year. That season, in order to have a chance at winning the national title, the Florida Gators had to pray for Ohio State Buckeyes to defeat Arizona State Sun Devils, which they managed to do at the last minute. It was a classic end to an exciting college football season. The Florida Gators play heir home games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida. Holding over 90,000 spectators, it’s the 10th largest college stadium in America. Also known as the Swamp, the stadium is considered one of the most inhospitable venues to play as a visiting team. On-field temperatures often reach over 100 degrees, and with the closed-in design of the stands, there is no breeze to bring relief from the heat. Then there’s the crowd, which also takes advantage of the bowl shape of the stadium to be one of the loudest in college football. A game and Ben Hill Griffin is an amazing experience. Buy Florida Gators football tickets, and witness one of the most storied teams in college football vie for another national title!
