The No. 1 Florida Gators baseball team opened up its 2016 season with four games at home. They were treated to a record number of fans on opening weekend and defended McKethan Stadium all four times they played. Wednesday night will be different as Florida finishes up a two game stint against Eastern Michigan on the road in Lakeland, Florida at Joker Marchant Stadium — the spring training home of the Detroit Tigers.
While it may not be a true road game with a hostile crowd, it will be the first time that Florida leaves the friendly confines of the Mac and hit the road.
