2021 Spring Football Game
Announcement from Scott Stricklin.
During the COVID pandemic, the UAA’s focus has been on safely conducting athletic events against outside competition while allowing a limited number of Gator fans to attend those games, per UF Health guidelines.
Beginning this Thursday, the Gators football team will have 15 practices that will encompass four weeks. However, hosting fans for an intra-squad spring football scrimmage seems unwise given all circumstances, including the fact that Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is being used as a large scale COVID testing and vaccination site.
Staying engaged with Gator fans and their passion for Florida football remains a priority. As part of spring football practice, the football team’s social media accounts (@GatorsFB) on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook will provide enhanced coverage of spring practice to give fans a more complete view of the Gators’ progress. Also, the SEC Network will have a dedicated window to showcase Gators Football, similar to what televised spring games have provided in the past.
We appreciate the continued support of our fans throughout the pandemic, and we can’t wait to host Gator Nation at the Swamp for games this Fall. Go Gators!
