Book Reviews of Florida: Saturdays at the Swamp
Book Review: Beautiful coffee table book on The Swamp
Summary: 5 Stars
Make no mistake, this isn't a history book on the Florida Gators. What it is, though, is a great "coffee table" book on the game day atmosphere in The Swamp where the Florida Gators play (and opponents fear to tread!).
The star of the book (as it should be for coffee table books!) are the photographs. The photographer, Glenn Danforth, is world class and it shows in the photos - they're stunningly beautiful and make the book a worthy one to have in your collection.
Not only that, the photos are often taken from unique perspectives and areas that the every day fan doesn't have access to, giving even more insight into what goes on.
I love the book and so does my Dad, whom I bought a copy for. Every Gator ought to own a copy.
Summary of Florida: Saturdays at the Swamp
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution calls The Swamp "the loudest, most obnoxious and notorious piece of real estate in all of college football." The Florida Gators call it home. With humidity reminiscent of a rain forest, on-field temperatures often topping 125 degrees, and the wildest fans in America, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, also known as "The Swamp," is universally regarded as one of the toughest stadiums for opposing teams to play. Saturdays at the Swamp captures, in words and photos, the unique experience that is game day at The Swamp.Football (American) Books
