Florida football coach Dan Mullen, who said the
Texas A&M crowd was a "major factor" in the fourth-ranked Gators' loss to the Aggies on the road Saturday, called on his administration afterward to allow for full attendance at next weekend's game in Gainesville, Florida.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently lifted COVID-19 restrictions, allowing stadiums around the state to operate at total capacity if they wish.
Mullen said he "absolutely" wants to have a full crowd of about 90,000 fans when Florida hosts
LSU next Saturday.
"I know our governor passed that rule, so certainly, hopefully, the university administration decides to let us pack The Swamp for LSU next week," he said. "One hundred percent because that crowd was a major factor in the game. So I certainly hope our university administration follows the governor."
