The Gators® football season has kicked off to a memorable start, and Gator Nation is always looking for ways to cheer on their team with fan events in Gainesville. Celebration Pointe is one of the best places for Gator fans to celebrate the football season with events, gameday dining and transportation options, and some of the best Gators® shopping in Gainesville, FL!
Chomp the Block
Back by popular demand, one of the best Gator events in Gainesville has returned to Celebration Pointe. During select Gator football home games, Celebration Pointe hosts Chomp the Block, the ultimate party for Gator fans. Gators fans of all ages can participate in the festivities on the Celebration Pointe Promenade, which include live music, food trucks, special surprise guests and fun kids’ activities! Plus, Celebration Pointe is open-container friendly, so you can enjoy alcoholic beverages while you cheer on the Gators®! The next Chomp the Block will be November 8, from 7 – 10 PM, featuring live music by Mike Llerena & the Nerve.
Gator Talk
Have you ever wanted to ask Coach Dan Mullen a question? Now’s your chance! Gator Talk is a weekly radio show hosted at Celebration Pointe, and one of the best Gators® events in Gainesville! During the live broadcast, a variety of Gators® coaches and staff discuss sports and answer fan questions. In the past few months alone, Mick Hubert, the Voice of the Gators®, Head Volleyball Coach Mary Wise, and Head Football Coach Dan Mullen have all been featured. You can attend the live broadcast at The Keys Grill and Piano Bar and enjoy tasty food and beverages, every Thursday from 7 – 8 PM.
Events aren’t the only way that Gator fans can get in the spirit. Celebration Pointe offers even more fun for Gator Nation.
Shopping: If you want to show your team pride, look no further than Celebration Pointe. Get your Gator gear at the Nike outlet and Palmetto Moon! Both stores offer a plethora of Gators® branded activewear, shoes and accessories so you can cheer the team on in style.
And for serious tailgators (get it?), there’s no better place to shop for equipment than Bass Pro Shops. Pick up all your tailgate essentials, from grills to YETI coolers to camp chairs and make your Gator tailgate one for the books.
Dining: You can’t cheer on your favorite team on an empty stomach! Celebration Pointe has delicious options for hungry Gator fans, including MidiCi – The Neapolitan Pizza Company, The Keys Grill & Piano Bar, and Miller’s Ale House. After you’re full, catch the RTS Gator Shuttle Service that stops at Celebration Pointe and goes straight to the stadium!
Even if you’re not attending the game, you can still join plenty of other like-minded fans at Miller’s Ale House, The Keys Grill and Piano Bar and MidiCi where the big game will be playing on the TVs.
Celebration Pointe is the ultimate destination for Gator fans. Stop by for some of the best dining, shopping and entertainment in the area. We hope to see you at one of our many events this season, and go Gators®!
