Seats are very small, made for young thin people!! I sat next to a complete Bitc# who told me I was half sitting in her chair, I was not. I had politely asked if the seat was taken. She saw me (I am overweight) she saw the size of the seats (it was tiny) and still told me it was not taken. If I had been a large man had sat next to her she surely would have kept her mouth shut!! But she felt the need to give me her opinion!! My answer was I can't change the size of the chair!! I moved to a better seat in the row in front of her and had zero problem with the man I sat next to. All that to say the seats could be a bit bigger!! And if you are asked of a seat is available and you don't actually want to have a person sitting next to you tell them the seat is taken & Don't be a rude Bitc#!!!!! Also, the "lady" and her group of 10 people just got up and left as soon as their graduate had finished walking across the stage!! I guess rude is...

Facility: Clean facility that still feels like new. Ground/entry level is between the "000" and "100" level sections. The 100 level is pretty steep and you feel like you're on top of the court. 200 level is up in the rafters. Really neat floor projection at beginning of game.

Fans: My experience as a visiting fan was the home crowd was hostile and rude as game was starting, but calmed down and we're friendly towards halftime and end-of-game.

Outside of Arena: I parked in one of the garages on Gale Lemerand so that I could charge my EV. The SmartCharge chargers wouldn't accept my account (presume they only do for students), but there were designated spots I could level 1 charge with my own charger and an outlet. Little over half a mile of walking each direction. There were closer options if you don't have an EV. No traffic issues getting on or off campus. That was actually...

The University of Florida takes pride in it's education system and its sports teams.The stadium itself is clean and always in tip top shape. At every game, they have a video stating discrimination or any form of hate towards the crowd, team, or incoming teams are not tolerated, the video is very prominate during female games.

Games are free to students and relatively ok prices for guests and non-students. The food is on point, but just like football games prices are inflated by a lot. Definitely recommended to eat before going to a game, unless you want to fork the cash.

They have sponsors at most games that giveaway free food or discounts when a team wins. Like yesterday, September 24 the volleyball team won 2 sets and krispy kreme is giving away 2 donuts.

If your a student, please attend. There is...

This is a great venue for a basketball game or for special events such as Commencement ceremonies. The building is climate controlled. The restrooms are well maintained, conveniently located, and have a good number of stalls. There is a concession stand at the entrance that provides a variety of typical snacks and beverages, and they accepted both cash and credit cards at the event we attended. The seats were padded and had backs. There is an elevator for guests who cannot climb stairs. The jumbo tron display in the center helps make each area a good view.

Excellent game, and a fun time! The $18 beer is over priced. The $19 hamburger and chips were cold and just sitting in the counter waiting to be handed out. Restrooms were clean. Security all over the place. An exciting game and a fun time cheering for your team. Would come back, just avoid the concession stands. Each concession stand sells different items, you need to walk to the various stands to see what they each offer.
