For stadium regulars, closing is the wrong move

The recent suicide of a University of Florida student at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium has raised questions about whether the stadium should remain open for public use.  Florida’s 89.1 WUFT-FM’s Brittany Bassler says many students aren’t keen on the idea of shutting the bleachers down.

<i>The bleachers can also be a quiet study spot</i>

<i>Students run "stadiums" to stay in shape</i>
