However, hosting fans for an intra-squad spring football scrimmage seems unwise given all circumstances, including the fact that Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is being used as a large-scale COVID testing and vaccination site.โAdThe NCAA allows 15 practices during the spring, although teams typically use one of those 15 as the spring game. The Gators didnโt have a spring game last year as the onset of the pandemic forced sports into a hiatus.
