What Reunions & Special Events Offer
Gator Nation Tailgates
Home Games
University of Florida Alumni Association members are invited to tailgate inside Emerson Alumni Hall three hours before every home game. Depending on game time
televisions will broadcast other games being played that day. It is also a chance to eat, drink and enjoy fellowship with other Gators in a climate controlled area. The
Emerson Alumni Hall plaza is also full of activity on game days. Sponsor tents line the plaza, a DJ plays tunes and Gator music and following the Gator Walk, kids are invited to
break a piñata of the opposing team.
Away Games
Here's your chance to meet up with other Gators when traveling to away football games. The University of Florida Alumni Association offers a place for Gators to meet and get fired
