Florida AD gives fans an idea of how loud the pumped-in crowd noise will be this season in The Swamp
Despite not having the ability to host a full stadium crowd to start the season, it appears The Swamp will still be an intimidating place to play this season.
Florida AD Scott Stricklin gave fans a preview of what they can expect when the Gators host South Carolina during the second weekend of the SEC season on Saturday, Sept. 3 when the Gamecocks travel to Gainesville.
While only around 17,000 fans — which is 20 percent capacity of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium — will be in attendance due to local restrictions on public gatherings, the pumped-in crowd noise Florida plans to use still makes for a loud scene in The Swamp.
Now, on top of the pumped-in crowd noise, add in another 17,000 screaming fans and you’ll have an idea of just how unfriendly The Swamp will continue to be for opposing teams this season.

We’ve never been as big and as loud as other venues.
I’m glad we can use artificial noise now even though it’s against SEC rules.
This way we can match up with the better programs and venues.
What the hell are you talking about? The Swamp has been one of the loudest and most intimidating places to play even though we are about 10k fans smaller than other big schools. Minus the Muschamp/McElwain joke years the Swamp is a huge advantage for us.
He’s an idiot troll from jawja.
The Swamp is loud thanks to design of the stadium. The Big House grows out, BHG grows up. Because of that, the acoustics bounce off of the stands and the walls of the stadium making it louder than other venues, even with 10-15K less fans.
Our stadium has 4 large gaps in it’s walls allowing sound to escape.
Compound that with the fact we are 30% smaller than some schools in our conference.
Anyone who has been to other stadiums can hear the undeniable difference.
You don’t even need a decibel meter to notice the difference.
We are lucky that the SEC is allowing artificial noise this year against their own rules so programs like us can compete.
We will be one of the programs to watch in the coming years trying to cheat and continue to use artificial noise to match up with our peers.
Clearly you are not an actual Gator as you are denying reality.
It’s a shame that we are so deranged and diluted that some of us actually believe we match up to other stadiums.
How many times have other team’s fans urinated on our gator out front?
We almost burned it to the ground just a few days ago.
Ben Hill Griffin just doesn’t match up. I wish it did. But it doesn’t.
McElwain is that you?
HAHA Well played Randy
Never seen a Gator lick his or her own butt or groin area. Never. But Bulldogs especially love going to both places.
Joejort is obviously a shart
And just think, he’s allegedly old enough to vote. A grown arse man getting on everyones site and changing names, that sounds like fun. Thats a guy that didn’t have his life plan work out as planned.
Oh I’m sure it worked out to the best of his abilities. He’s the over achiever in the family genealogy
