Florida will play the 2016 season in the Lemerand Athletic Center. Season ticket renewals start June 20, with priority to Gator Attack Club and 2015 Season Ticket and Gold & Platinum Card Holders.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Gator fans won't have to go far to take in a UF volleyball match this season, as the Lemerand Athletic Center, right on the UF campus, will be the home of Florida Volleyball for the 2016 season while the Stephen C. O'Connell Center continues a $64.5 million renovation.
 
With a capacity of approximately 700 in the Lemerand Athletic Center Gym, 2016 Florida Volleyball tickets will be the hottest ticket in town, and the intimate atmosphere will be second-to-none. VIEW: 2016 Florida Volleyball Schedule
 
"Gator volleyball will be the must-have ticket this fall so I encourage Florida fans to get their orders in early. The venue presents some unique challenges, but Gator fans have always been there for us in the past," head coach Mary Wise remarked. "We look forward to making the Lem every bit as successful as the O'Dome."
 
Ticket renewals for the Gator Attack Club, 2015 season ticket holders and 2015 Gold & Platinum Card holders will begin at the end of June according to the schedule below. Tickets are limited and availability is based on priority, and first come, first served.
