Fans ready for 35th Florida Classic at newly renovated Citrus Bowl

ORLANDO, Florida -- Festivities for the 35th Florida Classic are set to kick off Friday at the newly renovated Citrus Bowl.

The annual match-up between FAMU and Bethune-Cookman will be the first event held at the stadium after its $207 million renovation. The historic game between in-state rivals Bethune Cookman and FAMU has been played at the Citrus Bowl since 1997.

Some loyal fans parked their RVs outside the stadium Thursday night to guarantee they could wake up to the festivities Friday morning.

Tommy and Steve Bostick took off from Daytona Beach Thursday at 3 a.m. to secure a good spot.

"I'm just going to enjoy this weekend with my family. Just have a good time, laugh, joke. Life is short, you know? You still want to enjoy yourself," said Steve Bostick.
