Florida has had enough basketball success to build up better support than that. There are times when I think BD would be dissatisfied with the level of appreciation for his teams and his levels of success.


I'm pretty sure that is a section that no one really sits in, it is behind the temporary bleachers.
Anyway, Home attendance has been great for UF. I think UF has averaged above 100% capacity in SEC games during something like 6 out of the last 8 years. There was only 2 games not at capacity this year and those were during school breaks. The culture has started to change at UF.

I don't know how many people made the trip, maybe they are waiting for the NCAA tournament where we are expected to make a deep run. I expect tons of Gator fans at each of the UF sites like during the back-to-back title years.

FWIW, it looks like the same seats are empty in this game that were empty in the game before.

A lot of our fans were in the upper dome, mostly students. I know a lot were hoping to buy tickets from Kentucky fans for tomorrow (if UGA won). TBH, doubt most of our fans traveled to Atlanta...outside of students, the Gator fans there might be Atlanta natives.

In the land of the blind the 1 eye man is king. Even if you are the Rat King, you are still a rat.

Selling out 12K at home is nothing to brag about. Vanderbilt was putting more in their venue when Kennedy was in office.
