    This sounds pretty cool for us Gator fans in the off-season:

    Should be some real nice pub for UF.

    I don't get that either about the concerts.....but having Gameday there will be a welcome change-up to what is an unwelcome 8 month break from college football.

    Terry, I think basically the Gators don't feel they need the concerts to draw fans to the spring games. We draw about 40,000 now.

    It just seems like a concert would be the icing on the cake, esp for students, as I'm going to guess that the Spring game is bigger amongst fans like yourself than students on campus, when I was a student I never went to the spring game but went to all the home games and some of the road games.

    Terry, I haven't been to but a couple of the Spring games in the last several years. However the last one I did go to there were a lot of students.

    I don't remember going to any of them while I was a student though.
