ORANGE & BLUE TAILGATE | Saturday, April 14

With new head football coach Dan Mullen moving the annual Orange & Blue Debut game back to a Saturday, the UF  Alumni Association will also change things up this year.

ALL Gator fans are welcomed to join us for a fun, free and family-friendly tailgate at Emerson Alumni Hall prior to the Orange & Blue game. Doors open at 12 p.m., complete with live music, the Gator Walk, face painting, a re-imagined 4Rivers Smokehouse menu and much more. Like all Gator Nation Tailgates, the fun ends 45 minutes before kickoff. 

As the official airline of the University of Florida Alumni Association and the Florida Gators, Delta wants to reward the Gators most passionate fans. You will have a chance to win a $500 Delta gift card, so come on out to the O&B Tailgate!

Don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate and experience Coach Mullen’s first moments in The Swamp!
