As I’ve said many times before, you’re going to see a bunch of programs make this decision as we near the start of the upcoming football season.
People want to be back in the stands and it’s about time it happens.

Multiple other programs have already stated their intentions to pack the stands and you can now add the Florida Gators to the list.
As a fan of college football, I couldn’t be happier with the decision. College football is meant to be played with thousands of drunk and passionate fans in attendance.
