Florida found notable success with a Friday night spring game in 2016. The Gators had 46,000 fans make it to The Swamp for the 2016 Orange and Blue Debut, up from 21,000 in 2015, a traditional Saturday afternoon scrimmage. Kentucky had 28,441 attend its spring game this past season.
Big Blue Nation will likely be excited for Year 5 of the Mark Stoops era, coming off a Dec. 31 appearance in the TaxSlayer Bowl.
