GatorNights is a large production that requires many of the J. Wayne Reitz Union teams and campus members to ensure its success weekly. Here are the units you’re likely to see at a GatorNights event: GatorNights planning committee members, GatorNights student employees, Student Organizations, Reitz Union Game Room team, Reitz Union Audio Visual team, Reitz Union Productions team, Reitz Union Building Supervisors, Aramark, Campus Partners. Throughout the semester we work with many departments and student organizations.

GatorNights began on August 25, 2000, after the student activities staff attended WVU All Night (the late-night program at West Virginia University). Almost 1800 students attended the first GatorNights and it has been a Gator tradition ever since! The average weekly attendance at GatorNights is about 1,500 students and our largest night had an attendance of 4,303 students. As a result of the popularity, several other universities have visited GatorNights in an effort to implement a similar program on their campuses. The popularity of the program has also led to several changes in the number of services and programs that we provide. Each week we strive to balance the night with entertainment, activities, and novelties.
