Our staff members take great pride in giving a little extra in preparing the fields for the Swamp Bowl. Swamp Bowl 2014 will be played on the southwest corner of our campus.

Please let the UF staff know if there is anything we can do to make your visit more enjoyable. Good luck to all involved in this year s tournament. I trust you will have a terrific experience.
