Parking for Saturdays game.
- Thread starter battle won
- Start date
I park at Oak Mall, right off I75 and catch the shuttle to the stadium. It starts running about 3 or 4 hours before kickoff and starts talking folks back usually at the end of the third quarter. It keeps running until all are back. The costs is about $10 a person.
Goggle Oak Mall Gainesville and you should find all of the information you need.

If you arrive sufficiently early, many legal parking spaces on campus are available at no cost, most of which are east of the stadium within a mile. Also, there are a couple of parking garages south of the stadium along Lemerand Drive within 1-2 miles. Further south, near the intersection of Lemerand Drive and Archer Road, is a parking garage near the VA Hospital.
There are numerous homes located north of the stadium/University Ave and west of the stadium along SW 2nd Ave that rent out parking in their yards on a first-come basis. In these areas you will also find a couple of vacant lots and church lots. Prices range between $30-$60.
Another convenient option is the Gator-Aider Shuttle service. It operates air-conditioned buses beginning a couple hours before and a couple hours after the games. There are three parking locations and the drop-off is about a block from the stadium. Round trip price is $10 per person. You might be interested in the Oaks Mall location at I-75 and Newberry Road.

What section are Kentucky fans seating in? I live in Sarasota area , thinking about driving up to the game.
Sell out. If you dont already have a tic you’re probably going to pay handsomely from a scalper.
Then again, maybe you already knew this?
There are second hand tics for sale, pricey but still planning on going. About 2 and half hour drive for me. Would like to get something close to Ky section
I have attended more than a handful of games in Gainesville, so take this FWIW. No way should you try to drive your car to the game. Don't even think about it. Take an Uber. When the game is over, walk northward out of the stadium to University Avenue and call another Uber. You will be very glad you did. Not only will it save you the cost of paying for parking, but parking and traffic logistics in that area of the campus are a total nightmare.
FYI - the shuttle buses to remote parking locations are infinitely better than Uber, imo .... and cheaper, too. Also, for those who haven't been to Gainesville in a couple of years, tickets to all UF sporting events are digital .... no paper tickets. Nobody standing along major routes or outside stadium selling tickets like years gone by.
Yes, this is best place to park. Sw corner of oaks mall, I believe near old toys r us. Shuttle gets you there pretty quick if you are there atleast an hour before game
Section 43 (South half), 44, 45, 47 are the main visitor area. 44, near the field is typically where the visiting band sits.
Then seats behind the visitors bench (first 20 rows?) and in past years parts of the upper NEZ (320s).
Have a safe drive.
Backadder Brewing is next to the Oaks Mall, so that may be your best bet if you are looking to get beer and then get on the shuttle.
The best brewery in Gainesville (imo) is Swamphead but it's a few miles south of the stadium. However, they usually have a tailgate on University north of the stadium where you can get some of their beers. They also have a couple beers being sold inside the stadium (pale ale, cream ale) if you still have room at 7pm.
First Magnitude is also good but it's a couple miles or so east of the stadium. They also have a beer being sold in the stadium (lager).
Probably people bailing because of the rain.
It was announced a sell out about 3 days ago.
