Wasn't the streak broken under Muschamp? I might be wrong
I had to google this...but looks like it was under Muschamp. I thought it might have happened under Zook because tickets were so easy to get it was embarassing.
I sat in the Champion's Club at least 5 times during the Zook era and never paid more than $40 for the seats. I sat on the same row as Gale Lemerand the day they dedicated the naming of North-South Drive in his name....he was literally about 10 seats away from me and I paid $40 to sit there (Thanks Ron Zook!).
I remember being handed free tickets before a couple of games during the Zook era. We'd use them to leave the stadium and run to Porpoise - like the old days - and get back in w/ the unused ticket.
Muschamp era begins with end of sellout streak
Muschamp era begins with end of sellout streak
It was the beginning of a new era at Florida and also the end of an old one. Will Muschamp’s debut was a success, but the 137-game streak ended for sellouts at The Swamp. Florida officials were quick to point out Florida Atlantic returned a bunch of tickets, but it’s not like the first time a team has returned tickets. Certainly, when it costs a family of four $200 just for tickets to see the Gators play (not to mention everything else that goes along with a UF game), that family is going to think twice. More annoying was that the game started with thousands of empty seats and by the start of the fourth quarter those seats and many more were empty again. Nice way to welcome your new coach. The Back Nine has decided to blame everything on the economy. Those three interceptions the Gators threw? The economy. Georgia’s defense? The economy.
