90,000 screaming fans at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium has been a boast for years but won’t be for much longer.
In an interview with the Gainesville Sun Florida Athletic Director Scott Stricklin asserted a plan to reduce the stadium capacity in favor of creating an overall better experience for fans that come to games on Saturday.
“I think it needs to happen,” Stricklin told Pat Dooley of the Gainesville Sun.
With attendance down throughout the country universities have tried to come up with different ways to attract people to games. Stricklin and the University Athletic Association have been no different, adding new, faster WiFi throughout the stadium in 2018.
