    SWAMP square for $1000: During 1988 negotiations, they stole their nickname from University of Louisiana.

    Contestant: Who is University of Florida?

    Man, there sure are a lot of old farts on this board.

    The stadium was already 16 years old at my first game at Cajun Field as a freshman in '87. I was 3 when the stadium opened.

    I was there as a season ticket holder sitting just above Section UD1. Moved down to my existing seats in UD1 about 4 years later. My arse has been planted there ever since. Very much looking forward to the opening game post-renovation.
