UF Health and the Alachua County Health Department are teaming up for the mass vaccine event for Alachua County residents age 65 and older.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Even though COVID-19 restrictions will limit the capacity of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to 20% for the Florida Gators’ home opener against the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday, a Jacksonville printing company is helping fill the stands with fans. Since only around 17,000 fans can attend the game in person, Raintree Graphics was asked to make cutouts of fans. The cutouts will not only help with social distancing but allow fans to still be at The Swamp. “We’ve designed them to run 6 up on a big 5-foot-by-10-foot sheet, and we’re printing them on a flatbed printer.”Raintree Graphics was asked to make the cutouts of Florida Gators fans. (WJXT)As of Thursday, the company had made thousands of Gators fan cutouts.

A small fire billowed black smoke into the air Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, causing a brief stir near the University of Florida campus. Firefighters had it doused in less than 15 minutes, according to UF Police Lt. Jake Pruitt. Pruitt said a small 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. The only damage was some black soot that was left on nearby columns of the stadium, Pruitt said.

Kyle Trask #11 of the Florida Gators celebrates after a game against the Auburn Tigers at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on October 05, 2019 in Gainesville, Florida. Florida could pose problems, especially after struggling to do much to disrupt Georgia's Jake Fromm a week ago. Florida running back Lamical Perine has been held under 70 yards in eight of nine games this season. Vanderbilt has fumbled four times, tying Alabama, Oregon State and Texas State for the fewest in the nation. With victories against Vanderbilt and then rival Florida State in three weeks, they would finish undefeated in the Swamp for the 14th time since 1990 and just the third time since 2010.

Trask injured his knee on a low hit by Auburn defensive lineman Marlon Davidson, who was shoved into Trask by left tackle Stone Forsythe. I think that's something, when you look at player safety, we've got to really pay attention. I know as a league everyone wants to preach player safety, player safety, player safety.
