He spent his life as a Gators fan.
Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer’s championship runs fueled Shane Solana's love for the program.
So when he enrolled at UF, the junior studying animal sciences made it his mission to attend as many games as possible. This included a five-hour road trip from St. Augustine with his girlfriend and two friends to watch Florida’s 2019 Orange Bowl win in Miami. He’s only missed two games as a student.
But the odds that Solana attends one this year are in limbo. As a way to balance fans attending games while limiting the chances of spreading COVID-19 through social distancing measures, only 17,000 fans will be in The Swamp during home games.
