The excitement is definitely in the air. It’s the University of Florida’s Homecoming week, and Gator Growl is almost here!
Gator Growl and Homecoming are time-honored traditions — and for good reason. It’s a time when students, alumni, staff, faculty and friends come together to relive memories, make new ones and honor our incredible university.
What could be better than getting together in The Swamp with a few thousand of your closest friends and celebrating the Gator Nation? That’s Gator Growl!
Over the past 90 years, Gator Growl has grown from a small gathering around a bonfire into one of the nation’s largest, student-produced pep rallies, and this year’s entertainment line-up is terrific.
With student-produced skits, fireworks, a multitude of cameos, student organization performances and musical acts The Fray, Sister Hazel and New Directions Veterans Choir, Gator Growl 2013 promises to be one you don’t want to miss.
If you’ve already purchased your tickets, congratulations and thank you — you’re in for a fun night! If you haven’t, visit gatorgrowl.org, get your tickets and celebrate 90 years of UF Homecoming tradition with us.
See you in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Friday!
