College Gameday will be broadcasting from Gainesville, Florida for the UF Gators vs UM Hurricanes football game on Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. on ESPN.
If you are lucky enought to go to a night game with a full moon, it is a beautiful sight to see it with Century Tower as a backdrop.
For your weekend stay, the best places are all located within a block of each other in the downtown Bed & Breakfast District on S.E. 7th Street. Once checked into any of these b&bs, you won't have to use your car again for the weekend...you can walk to the gourmet downtown restaurants and walk or bike to the UF campus and stadium for the game and festivities.
There is also a bus shuttle for the games, the Gator Aider, that leaves from the downtown so you can ride to and from the stadium in air conditioned comfort. A round trip ticket is only $8 per game or $40 for the whole season.
In alphabetical order, here are the best places to stay in Gainesville.
The Camellia Rose Inn is the newest kid on the block. Tom and Patricia McCants are the innkeepers and they can be reached at 353-395-ROSE or on their website.
Next door is The Laurel Oak Inn with innkeepers, Monta and Peggy Burt. They can be reached at 352-373-4535 or via their website. 
Next to them on the south side is Magnolia Plantation B&B Inn and Cottages with innkeepers Joe and Cindy Montalto. They can be reached at 352-375-6653 or on their website.
These properties have a loyal following of Gator fans who book their football season rooms 1-2 years in advance so you know they are good! Also, they all have houses/cottages that are more private and perfect for family and friends to get together on game weekends. Call and see if they have any cancellations and you might just get lucky. Be sure to say slightlynorthofworth sent you.
Until next time...
