Nope. I didn’t miss that part Ox, as it was the only piece if info that was related to gator football. I can understand however how you thought I might have missed it seeing how this site is rapidly deteriorating into a constant whine fest. What I find most interesting is that those that are most vocal about not wanting politics in sports are now highjacking every single thread with their political views. It’s becoming insufferable.

The athletes and the networks injected politics into sports, we are simply playing along

No you’re not. You’re perpetuating it. If you want to talk politics, do it in the politics forum. I have no interest, zero, in yours or anyone else on this board’s political views. Give it a rest

Stop talking about the issues you have with the politics injected into the broadcast and during the game...just get over it and watch...who cares if they’re pushing a Marxist agenda or the fact that they’re celebrating the lives of violent criminals because they chose to fight the police or engage in illegal activity and resisted arrest...if people were wanting police reform they had their chance and the democrats turned it down in the house...they don’t want equality they want submission

The fact that the football team is pushing this is a problem

Three straight posts that have nothing to do with sports on a sports forum. Getting extremely tiring.....

I’ll be there...somewhere. Not sure who gets into the game but I’ll find something. I always try to get to at least half the home games. Those that I can’t get up there just gives me a reason to throw a party. Either way I’m counting the days.

I heard the tickets will be digital. I'm not sure how that will effect selling them.

Ok Donk. Changing the subject to meet your BS narrative, Point is. Put on a mask and you can go to a game. It’s pretty simple. Who cares if you agree with the reason. Every person on this board has done much more to go to a gator game.

Why don't you tell us what mask is actually FDA approved? If I'm going to wear a mask I'd like to know that it is actually going to keep me from getting the virus. Whats the point of the 6ft spacing if everyone has to wear a mask? Researched based, not Fauci BS! Take a stab at it.

I'm still waiting to find out how the hell they plan on dividing up the tickets. I realize it will go according to your donation level but say you have 5 tickets. Do you get all 5 seats or only 1 and sit by yourself? And do you get to go to all the games or only 1 or 2? And who decides which games? And if you only get tickets for one game and go do they keep all of your donation or credit a percentage towards next year? And what about if you have a skybox? Are you only allowed 20% in your very expensive sky box and will they compensate you back the remainder?

It's going to be a logistical nightmare trying to figure this out equitably. There are going to be A LOT of disgusted and disappointed people. And woe be unto them if they start being heavy handed on people tailgating and partying. They're likely to see a huge revolt.

Even from this board, most seem to be choosing to roll their tickets. I suspect they are not going to have too many issue with dividing it up. First, students are out. That opens 1/3 of the stadium to move people around. If 2/3 of the long term season ticket holders opt out, those willing to go to a 1/5 full atmosphere and where masks should have room.

I was out to eat this week and heard a guy talking about rolling over his tickets and not allowing UF to keep the extra money. I think I addressed it somewhere on this board, but UF stands to lose a f*** ton of money by handling this poorly (if they do). As attendance has already been dropping and people knowing they can essentially get season tickets without the booster fee through the resale market, you may turn people off from getting season tickets in the future (especially, if you pull a Muschamp/Mac and lay a major egg in year 3). I do think there are a ton of people rolling them over for various reasons. I would ax the students if you are bringing in boosters because if you are so big on not exposing the students (as if they won't party and go out anyways), remove them from this equation. Truthfully, I'm not sure what will happen, but time to prepare the popcorn.
