UF’s Dan Mullen encouraged by Gators 90% vaccination rate for COVID-19

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Week 1 for coach Dan Mullen’s Florida Gators will arrive soon and with certainty, unlike this time a year ago when college football was an iffy proposition and risky business due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 13th-ranked Gators are scheduled to kick off the 2021 season Sept. 4 against FAU in the Swamp. The school plans to welcome a capacity crowd to the 88,548-seat stadium after limiting attendance to no more than 17,000 in 2020.

“Can’t wait to see the Gator fans back out there, the electricity, the energy in the stadium, and the environment of getting back to having all our fans there and supporting their team,” Mullen said Monday.
