Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Football stadium in Gainesville, United States
The stands of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium rise in multiple tiers around the green field, creating an enclosed bowl that holds 88,548 spectators.
Architect Rudolph Weaver designed the original structure that opened in November 1930, marking the beginning of Florida Gators' home field legacy.
Each fall semester, thousands of students and alumni gather at the stadium to support their team while wearing orange and blue colors.
The stadium entrance on Gale Lemerand Drive provides direct access to parking areas and connects to multiple campus transportation routes.
Scientists developed the sports drink Gatorade inside this stadium during the 1960s to help players maintain hydration in Florida heat.

This collection gathers the largest stadiums on the planet, ranked by seating capacity. From the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, India, which hosts major cricket matches, to the vast American university arenas dedicated to football, and the May Day Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, these sports facilities demonstrate the scale that infrastructures for competitions and mass gatherings can reach. Each stadium has its own identity: some are exclusively dedicated to a specific sport, while others serve as flexible venues capable of hosting various events. Their sizes enable them to accommodate between 100,000 and over 150,000 spectators, providing organizers the opportunity to gather large crowds for international competitions, national finals, or major ceremonies.
