From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Florida Gymnasium was a 7,000 seat multi-purpose arena in Gainesville, Florida. It opened in 1949. It was home to the University of Florida Gators basketball teams until the Stephen C. O'Connell Center opened in 1980. During this time, the Florida Gym was known as Alligator Alley.
The Florida Gymnasium was adapted to other uses after the O'Connell Center was built. In the mid-1990s, the last remains of the original seating sections were removed and replaced with classrooms during a major renovation of the facility. The playing surface remains, and is used for student recreation and other purposes.
