FAMU President James H. Ammons says plans are underway to ensure major improvements to the Florida Classic weekend.
For years, many fans have asked for better parking, more restroom facilties, expanded shuttled services, and additional family activities around the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium. According to Ammons, these concerns will be addressed by a consortium of officials from Florida Citrus Sports, the City of Orlando and Orange County.
"Both universities and Florida Citrus Sports are committed to making the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida Classic weekend one of the safest, most fun-filled experiences our fans can have," Ammons said. "To accommodate that, the lines of communication between those running the game and the fans is key and we believe this promotion is just another extension of that. We are listening to what the fans want, and we want to hear what they love about this great game and the surrounding events."
