NOTE: Post contains lots of pictures.

Today’s SWF is a follow up to this week’s My World Tuesday entry. It featured a pictorial tour of one of Gainesville’s most famous places, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field A.K.A. The Swamp. The Swamp is home to the University of Florida’s Gator Football team.  In 2006-2007, UF did something few schools have done. The Gators brought home 3 national championships in 366 days: 2006 & 2007 Men’s Basketball Champions and 2006 Football Champs.  Forunately, for Ohio State they were only defeated by UF in 2 of the three championship games (Football & 2007 Basketball). Since I have already posted pictures of the Swamp this week I decided to only post pictures that included sky shots for today’s post.

    Anna: It is pretty amazing.

    Tootie: It is very impressive.

    Marnie: The street has a variety of trees not just palms. Having lived in West Texas it was strange to see so many trees.

  3. Jim,

    No I just walked in during the evening when the Swamp is open for walkers. The sign says no on is allowed on the field but I saw people walk onto the field. You should be able to get down near the field.
