For the first time in three years, Florida football will be playing in its once-annual Orange and Blue spring game on Thursday, marking the first time the fans will get a peek at the new program under nascent head coach Billy Napier. Originally scheduled for Saturday, the intrasquad scrimmage was pushed forward a couple of days to accommodate visiting prep recruits.
The downside of that move is that it will be more difficult for students and out-of-towners to attend the event. Fortunately, the action will be broadcast for the general public to watch — but if you happen to be in Gainesville and can make it to the Swamp, admission is free. Gators Fan Fest begins at 4:30 p.m. EDT and Gator Walk will take place at 5 p.m. EDT, while the gates open at 6 p.m. EDT and the game is slated to start at 7:30 p.m. EDT.
The Gators plan some giveaways during the game for the fans, with prizes ranging from a throwback football helmet to a 2022 Genuine Buddy 50 Scooter. In case you are stuck at home on Thursday night, take a look below at how to follow Florida’s Orange and Blue game.
