The Swamp is heading for capacity in the mid-70s

[Mark Wheeler]

In the Sunday Sun David Whitley has an informative Q&A with UF's Chip Howard about the Swamp renovation.

Going smaller (Alabama of all places reduced their capacity), and he explains why mid 70s is the target.

It is well worth the read.

I'm guessing ticket prices are headed the wrong way.

They aren't going to be able to add chairbacks because the seating is too steep.

They are only making them wider.

That is what always happens.

They price out everyone except the rich boosters.

The rest of us have to watch at home or a bar or puck one of the bad home games to attend.

No complaints here, I actually enjoy the game at a sports bar with a friendly wait staff more. But being on site for that 3rd quarter mass sing of Petty's "I Won't Back Down" is worth the price of admission at least once. Especially when LSU's there, it seems to bother them a lot.

As long as the design doesn't change (seats being close to the sideline) it will still be one of the loudest stadiums. Oregon's Autzen Stadium only holds about 55K and is widely viewed as one of the loudest.

At 75K Florida would go from the sixth largest capacity in the SEC to ninth (back to 11th when Texas and Oklahoma arrive).

It isn't like it used to be anyway. Where the buzz was from start to finish.

It still gets loud but I don't think it'll ever be what it used to be in the 90s and early 2000s.
