21. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium ("The Swamp"): Where Gators Roam and Opponents Tremble

Gainesville, Florida, is home to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, famously known as "The Swamp." Since opening in 1930, it has earned a reputation as one of the most intimidating venues for visiting teams, thanks to the close-to-the-field seating, Florida's heat and humidity, and the deafening roar of over 90,000 Gator fans. The tradition of the "Two Bits" cheer and the passionate "Orange and Blue" chant make "The Swamp" a uniquely challenging and historic place, embodying the fierce competitive spirit of SEC football.
