      Wear sneakers. Usually when going to a college game there is a lot of walking to be done. Whether it be from the parking lot, to the University store, or to the bathroom there is always a lot of walking. Sneakers are comfortable and they protect your feet for the most part from puddles, sand, and sharp objects. They are perfect for a college football game.

      Wear layers. The weather in Florida is usually warm but there is the occasional warm front. Also, in Florida there always seems to be rain. It is imperative to be prepared for all types of weather. So, layers are the way to go. This way when it warms up you can get down to a tank top and when rain or wind comes into the picture you are prepared with light sleeves to protect yourself.

      Wear sunscreen. Even on a cloudy day in Florida sunscreen is a must. You should always be prepared with SPF. Whether it is one hundred degrees or sixty, sunscreen should always be worn. This protects you from the suns harmful UV rays not to mention those distasteful tan lines.

      Two optional items are sunglasses and a hat. These items are for those of you with sensitive eyes. College football is usually held outdoors and both hats and sunglasses can prevent you from having to squint your eyes at the game. The hat will also serve as a sun blocking device while it may also support your favorite college football team.

      Finally, bring a koozie with you. A koozie is a padded device that you can easily tote with you. The device surrounds either a beer, water, or a can of soda. It helps in preventing your hands from getting cold while keeping the drink colder for a longer period.
