Here's the full press release:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – With the start of the 2015 Florida football season just weeks away, the University Athletic Association wants to inform fans of several initiatives in place for the upcoming season. The season kicks off on Saturday, Sept. 5, at 7:30 p.m. at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium against New Mexico State.
Empty Water Bottle - Fans are permitted to bring one (1) commercially branded (i.e. Aquafina) EMPTY plastic water bottle, no larger than 20 oz. There are several water bottle filling stations inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Non-disposable water bottles, sport bottles, Nalgene-type bottles, cans, heavy plastic, glass bottles, and thermoses are NOT permitted in the Stadium. There are 12 water bottle refill stations throughout Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Virtual Venue Seat Selection – Fans had the ability to upgrade their current season tickets online via a new seat interactive seat map that allows fans to view all available seats.
Refillable Cup – New in 2015, season ticket holders can purchase a refillable 22 oz cup for $8 per game. Several locations throughout the stadium will sell the cups and will be able to refill them for fans.
Free Drinks and Popcorn in Premium Areas – Fans sitting in the Evans Champions Club or Holloway Touchdown Terrace can now add free soda and popcorn to the list of their game day amenities. These items will be available throughout each home game from a designated stand in each premium area. (NOTE: free beverages will not be in souvenir cups).
Student Tickets Sold First Come, First Served – We moved away from a lottery format in 2015. Returning season ticket holders had an opportunity to renew their tickets immediately before we opened up to the general student body to purchase new season tickets.
Movie in the Swamp – Season ticket holders were given a special opportunity to enjoy a movie on the big screens in the Swamp over the summer. The general public was able to purchase tickets, but season ticket holders were admitted free and given access to sit on the field.
Complimentary Sunscreen – There will be free sunscreen for fans attending football games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium available at each of the first aid stations.
Happy Birthday and First Gator Game Pins – Available for all fans at Gator Guest Services booths located around the stadium.
Rowdy Town (Student Tailgate) – New for 2015, the Rowdy Town Football Student Tailgate, presented by Subway and ApartmentsinGainesville.com, will provide an all-new, exclusive student tailgate before football games at The Swamp. Join us at Gate 3 of the Stephen C. O’Connell Center beginning 2.5 hours before the game and enjoy food, tailgate games, music, Gator spirit squads and more. Be sure to have your UF student ID for admission.
