UF Police Lt. Jake Pruitt said a small maintenance tractor parked on a ramp on the south side of the stadium caught fire. Police got the call at 3:25 p.m., and the fire was out less than 15 minutes later, Pruitt said.
No one was injured.
The only damage was some black soot that was left on nearby columns of the stadium, Pruitt said.
