Booster contributions increase

The University Athletic Association and Gator Boosters, Inc. recently reviewed the program's financial obligations, current revenue and increasing operating expenses, including the addition of the seventh home football game. Other peer institutions' per seat contributions were surveyed and it was determined that the majority of the seating areas within Ben Hill Griffin Stadium are considerably below the market price. This review resulted in a proposal that was approved by the Gator Booster Board of Directors on April 14, 2007 to increase the per seat requirements within club levels and all of the luxury areas which are part of the Gator Booster system, beginning with the 2008 Gator Football season.

At the University of Florida, we are fortunate to have an athletics program that is positioned among the nation's elite. The Gators have enjoyed back-to-back NCAA Championships in men's basketball and a BCS National Championship in football, an unprecedented feat placing us in a league of our own. Sustaining a program at this level necessitates continued and valued support from our boosters.

Gator Boosters, Inc. transfers all contributions received, less operating expenses, to the University Athletic Association to ensure that the top student-athletes are recruited, scholarships are provided and the finest facilities are made available for our student-athletes and fans. Additional expenses to be incurred in the near future include the starting of a new Lacrosse program and facility, expansion of football offices and weight room in the south endzone, enhancements to the basketball practice facility, rising tuition cost and the overall increase in operating expenses. This support has always been, and will continue to be, the mission of Gator Boosters, Inc.
