The Florida Gators and Missouri Tigers are scheduled to meet in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday, with kickoff scheduled for noon. Ahead of gridiron action, the team took part in a time-honored tradition in Gainesville: Gator Walk.
Starting under Urban Meyer in 2005, the players as well as members of the team’s staff arrive at the stadium with hordes of fans awaiting them with bated breath. The event allows the Gator Nation to wish the team well as it enters the stadium on the way to the locker room, helping to elevate the experience for both the audience as well as the athletes.
Take a look below at some highlights from Florida’s Gator Walk ahead of its matchup against the Missouri Tigers for its homecoming game, with head coach Billy Napier leading the way as his team gets set for an early start in the Swamp.
