This Arena is now called the Exactech Arena at the Stephen C O'Connell Center. It was remodeled for basketball seating and fulfilled all expectations for convenience and comfort.
Have been to the O'Connell Center numerous times and, now that it has been completely renovated, it is a great place to watch an event.
This is a beautiful venue for basketball and (I presume) other activities. It’s easy to get in (security checks are very efficient). The view from every seat is great, and it’s easy to find your seat. Sound system is good to.
They tell you to park in a rather distant parking garage, but we found legal, convenient street parking in the nearby residential area.
We were here on the last Saturday in 2017 to watch our beloved Gators beat Vanderbilt. When we were students more than 30 years ago, we would jog over to the O’Connell Center and run around the upper level for a while to get a break from the summer heat. I doubt they allow that now but we think about whenever we return. This was our first time back since a major renovation and I think they nailed it. The building is terrific. The new main scoreboard / Jumbotron is great and the new introduction process with the projection on the floor is impressive. Check it out. Go Gators!
We love this place where the University of Florida playes their football games, It is great to walk around there.
We enjoy watching basketball & gymnastics here. Also, my child participates in specialized practices here. We always feel safe here and are able to relax and enjoy whatever event being hosted here.
