Gator Stompin' is a Gainesville tradition that has totally exploded over the past couple of years.  It's a gigantic pub and restaurant crawl through town, and by partnering with charities, Stompin' lets participants give back while having a great time.

As the Gators make their record tenth Southeastern Conference Championship appearance on Dec. 5, Alabama looks to reverse the trends of history. This is the seventh time the teams will meet since the inaugural game in 1992, and the fifth time in Atlanta. In its six appearances, Alabama has faced Florida every time, winning two and losing four. The Gators are 7 – 2 in the conference title game, both losses coming to Alabama. The two will meet as the top-ranked teams in the nation for the second consecutive season, and the Southeastern Conference champion has gone on to win the past three national titles.

For a Gator used to the small college-town feel of Gainesville, Atlanta is a daunting city to navigate. Even if you manage to avoid the throngs of crimson-clad Alabama fans, you still have the incessant barking of native Georgia Bulldogs to deal with. That being said, here’s how to make the most out of your weekend and stay amongst fellow Gators.
