Top 5 best game day atmospheres in the SEC
By Zach Ragan
3. Florida Gators — Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
When I think of Florida and the Swamp, I think of unique.
The stadium is unique, the fans are rowdy and the atmosphere is electric.
It’s tough to win in the Swamp. It’s an intimidating atmosphere that has some opponents beat before they even take the field.
But there’s one specific game day tradition that I absolutely love about Florida.
The singing of Tom Petty’s “I won’t back down” before the fourth quarter is simply incredible.
Gotta say, seeing Florida’s (newish) Tom Petty/“Won’t Back Down” tradition before the start of the fourth quarter in person was about as cool and impressive as I thought it would be. pic.twitter.com/gVuUAQ012v

Absolute chills every time I see that.
Now I’m even more excited for college football. But this is why college football without fans (if that’s what has to happen, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic) just won’t be the same.
