Over its 14-year history, the Florida Classic has drawn 936,801 fans to the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium in Orlando. If the game brings another 63,199 spectators on November 19, its total attendance will surpass the one million mark.
"Since 1997, FAMU, B-CU and the City of Orlando have truly built something special together," said Florida Citrus Sports CEO Steve Hogan told the Orlando Sentinel. "The Classic weekend is one of the great rivalry experiences in college athletics and this year's game could see fan number 1,000,000 walk through the gates – yet another milestone to celebrate in a series already rich in tradition."
The one millionth fan to attend the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida (BCBSFL) Classic in Orlando will receive: an automatic ticket upgrade for two in the Uprights Club at this year's game, two free tickets to the BCBSFL Classic for life, a BCBSFL Classic merchandise prize pack.
No special entry process is required for the appreciation package. Staffers will be positioned at each Citrus Bowl gate, ready to pull the lucky fan out of the crowd.
