Fans asked to wear orange for Capital One Bowl
Florida officials are asking Gator fans to arrive early and wear orange for the Jan. 1 Capital One Bowl game against Michigan.
The game kicks off at 1 p.m. in front of a nationally-televised audience and sold-out stadium.
If you're going to the game, here's a bonus, well sort of. Fans may have the opportunity to get their picture taken with the Heisman Trophy at the following Capital One Bowl events:
Sunday, Dec. 30: Gator Pep Rally located at the Bowl-a-Palooza FanFest inside of the Orange County Convention Center.
Monday, Dec. 31: Capital One Bowl Kickoff Luncheon located at the Renaissance Orlando Resort
Tuesday, Jan. 1: Capital One FanFest prior to the game.
This year's Capital One Bowl features two teams which have had three Heisman recipients each.
If you bleed orange and blue, this blog is for you. The Gator Report is written by Florida beatwriter Antonya English and the staff of the St. Petersburg Times. We invite your comments and participation.
Go Gators!!!
