Haha very aware of that, but appreciate the heads up. Really just trying to figure out how to make the best out of the worst place on earth.
Plus, living and working in Boca Raton, you only get to go to so many Vols games. Thus, an every-other-year trip to Gainesville.
I'm in the same boat living in Boynton Bch presently but travel and work all over the state including Gainesville in my market. I was just offered a higher position with the company but had to move to Gainesville. I turned it down. Just can't see myself living among Gators fans everywhere plus nothing to do in Gainesville that isn't university related.

I have tailgated numerous times in Gainesville. I really like being down by the Krispy Kreme. There is a large open field there with plenty of places to park and just a great atmosphere. Just South of there is the campus. About a 15 minute walk to the stadium.
Does anyone know or have any suggestions on places to set up a tailgate in Gainesville for the UT-UF game this year?
In all my previous trips, I've just gone to the bars beforehand, but am looking to switch things up and setup a tailgate for the family and some friends.

We’ve always parked at the McDs right by campus. It’s usually mostly Tennessee fans. Easy walk to the stadium and direct route to 75 after the game.

I’ll second this. Last time we were there was 2015 so I have no idea about whether the construction @Lawrence Wright mentioned affects this area but it works great for us. Easy walk to the stadium and mostly UT fans there. And we’ve always had good interactions with the UF fans that were there as well. The last few trips have been a lot tamer than the 90’s in my experience. Go Vols!
The McDonalds on 13th near the old Holiday Inn is a good spot.
The huge open lot on the NW corner of 13th and University (across from McDonalds) is now a condo building. That was a popular tailgate spot for UF and visiting fans.
