How To Welcome Home National Champion Gators

For the third time in program history, the Florida Gators are men’s basketball national champions. Fans in Gainesville and beyond anxiously watched Monday’s championship bout, a nail-biting 65-63 win for the Gators against Houston in San Antonio.

The Particulars

The Gators’ welcome-back rally with Florida students and fans will be held at Flavet Field on UF’s campus. It will start about 1:30 p.m. The event is free to the public. After they are introduced, coach Todd Golden and team members will address the crowd.

Flavet Field is located off Woodlawn Drive between Stadium and Museum Road. Fans are being told to enter from the north side, closest to Stadium Road, due to construction. The event will be the first chance for Gator fans to catch a glimpse of their new national champions
