University of Florida fans have another reason to be excited about Homecoming this year.  On October 15th UF Athletics and UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences will be offering discounted tickets to anyone connected to agriculture in the state of Florida, including their family and friends.

“Florida’s agricultural, natural resources and related food industries add $140 billion to our economy and employ nearly 300,000 people,” said Jack Payne, UF senior vice president for agriculture and natural resources. “The industry is second only to tourism in Florida, and this is a great way to honor and recognize those who work so hard to put food on our tables and plants and flowers in our yards.”

The Gators will battle the University of Missouri Tigers, tickets are on a first-come, first-served biases.  Seating is available in the upper south end zone for $35 and upper north end zone for $20.  Ticket are available on July 27.  To take advantage of the offer go to Ag Day Tickets and type AgDay2016 in the promo code box. There is also an exclusive discount for premium seating in the Evans Champions Club. Please contact premium@gators.ufl.edu about ordering Champions Club game tickets or special business group sponsorship opportunities.

“Act now to secure your place in The Swamp before this game sells out,” said Matt Sanchez, general manager for ticket sales. “Fans who buy early will be able to get the best seat locations in the Ag & Gardening sections of the stadium.”

UF/IFAS will also be hosting various family actives on campus before kickoff.
