Gator Growl, produced by Florida Blue Key with artists funded by Student Government Productions,[1] is a student-run pep rally at the University of Florida that was founded in 1924.[2] It marks the culmination of Homecoming Week at the university.
Since 2021, the show has been held annually at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center at the University of Florida. Until 2013, it was held at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, the on-campus football stadium. From 2014 to 2019, the rally was held on Flavet Field. There was no show held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gator Growl is credited with inspiring Orange Peel, a similar event held annually at Oklahoma State University, after a group of students, faculty and alumni traveled to Gainesville in 1995 to witness the event.
