We are in the process of verifying baby changing stations on campus. Have a tip to share? Let us know!

Football at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium

  • Every person entering Ben Hill Griffin Stadium needs a ticket, including infants. Per the UFAA website: “All persons (regardless of age) must have a ticket to enter any University of Florida athletic event that requires a ticket for admission.”Even if you hold your baby on your lap, you’ll be thankful for the extra seat to place your baby bag, camera, and be able to stretch out just a little bit more.
  • Strollers are not permitted in the stadium.
  • Outside food and beverages are generally not allowed, but they will allow baby’s food and bottles.
  • Elevators are only for access to Club Seating, so plan accordingly. You may want to utilize a strap-on infant carrier to keep your hands-free as you navigate the stadium ramps and stairs.
  • Baby changing stations are located in the Stadium in the following locations:
    • North Endzone: Women’s Restroom at Gate 8 and Men’s Restroom at Gate 7
    • South Endzone: Men’s Restroom at Gate 18
    • East Stands: Women’s Restroom near Section 36 and Men’s Restroom near Section 40
    • West Stands: Gate 2 Men’s and Women’s Restrooms
    • There are baby changing stations located in the new family restrooms in the West concourse as well.

All sports/events at O’ Connell Center

Any child who is not yet two years old does not require a ticket; however, they may not occupy a seat.***For certain children’s events, all children who have reached their first birthday require a ticket. Please check the event profile for your specific event for more information. For any questions, contact O’ Connell Center Guest Relations at (352) 392-5500, weekdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
