Let the Gator Growl: See the Goo Goo Dolls, help your Gator Club

Author: Unknown Publication Date: Friday July 29, 2011

A chart-climbing band with a number of Top Ten hits to its credit is coming to Gator Growl this fall — and you can send your local Gator Club® to No. 1 if you buy your tickets through it.

The Goo Goo Dolls, a one-time alternative rock band that rose to fame in the 1990s, will be the headline act for Gator Growl on Nov. 4. The band, best known for songs such as “Name,” “Slide,” and “Iris,” is currently on the charts with a song from this summer’s “Transformers 3” movie, “All That You Are.”

Bringing music back to Gator Growl is just one of the changes organizers are implementing this year — others include moving the stage to the east side of the stadium and bringing back fireworks. But organizers said they also wanted to add a competitive twist for alumni by creating a ticket-selling contest for Gator Clubs®. The club in each of three categories — small, medium and large — that sells the most tickets will receive a Clubbie award on stage, preferred seating at Growl and promotional items for their fall kickoff parties.

And Gator Growl isn’t done — watch for a comedy act to be announced later this summer.
