Loss of home games devastating for Gainesville economy and Gator fans

Even before Thursday’s announcement that both the Presbyterian and LSU games would no longer be played in Gainesville, the Gators’ 2016 home football schedule was a snoozer. Following that news and the loss of its lone marquis home game, there really is no reason for Gator fans to make a trip to Gainesville for football this season. That’s the opinion of many from outside of Alachua County – mine included.

When I first heard that Florida will be playing LSU in Baton Rouge on November 19, I first thought about the impact the change would have on season ticket holders.
