College Football would be UCF in Orlando itself, FSU in Tallahassee, Florida in Gainesville or Miami in Miami
Pro Football would be either the Buccaneers in Tampa, the Jaguars in Jacksonville or Miami in Miami.

Jacksonville was great when we caught a game there. Tampa is also great. My cousins who live in Florida (all their life) prefer college games. They say the atmosphere is better.

In terms of college teams University of Florida is a amongst the best college teams and several players from there do make the NFL and is where I would advise for a game.

Try to arrive with plenty of time to tailgate before the game as this is huge fun.

Rubbish! Florida State is so much better.

Seriously though, college football is so much better. Florida and Florida State regularly seat 75,000.

Go Gators! 😄

My cousin is a University of Florida guy, his wife and daughter are Florida State. Football talk can get a little heated in their house.

To OP To show the quality of FSU players, the no. 1 overall NFL draft pick was from Florida State this year.

They are not at NFL level, but because of it games can have more wow moments than some NFL games

We're a house divided too. 2 FSU 1 UF.. Games are much more WOW than NFL (especially as Tampa and Jacksonville have appalling records, even though we've had Jax season tickets since they started). We've had FSU season tickets since 1982.

Obvious I know, but wear plenty of sun screen! The stadiums are very open & exposed and you'll just be a sitting duck for the rays.

I absolutely covered my face & arms in Tampa (excellent by the way, and quite easy to get tickets via their official site) but didn't think of my poor knees. They were burnt to a crisp
