State officials said Regeneron’s clinically proven to reduce the risk of hospitalization and deaths in high-risk patients by about 70%.

ORLANDO, Fla. – For its third and final bowl game of the 2020 football season, Orlando hosted Northwestern and Auburn for the VRBO Citrus Bowl. Camping World Stadium previously hosted the Cheez-It Bowl and the Cure Bowl in December. This game, like all the bowl games in Central Florida, required major adjustments for safety precautions, including social distancing markers, limited seating, and masks required throughout. “I think these bowl games, although an economic impact will be felt, the broadcast to the country about how Orlando is safely open for business,” he said. “I think it is a powerful message.”Capacity inside the stadium was capped at about 20%, which amounts to about 13,000 fans.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Thousands of fans flocked to Orlando to see the 18th-ranked Miami Hurricanes face 21st-ranked Oklahoma State in the Cheez-It Bowl at Camping World Stadium. Steve Hogan serves as the CEO at Florida Citrus Sports, which hosts the Cheez-It Bowl. [TRENDING: How to get vaccine in Florida | Will vaccine work on new strains? Tailgating will not be allowed at the Cheez It Bowl or the Citrus Bowl. Auburn will take on Northwestern on New Year’s Day playing in the VRBO Citrus Bowl at Camping World Stadium as well.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The 18th-ranked Miami Hurricanes hope to redeem themselves when they face Oklahoma State in the Cheez-It Bowl. A lopsided loss to end the regular season cost coach Manny Diaz's team a spot in a major bowl. Instead, the Hurricanes (8-2) will finish their best season in years on a smaller stage on Tuesday night. That loss likely kept the Hurricanes out of a New Year’s Six bowl game. A victory would likely lift Oklahoma State back into the AP rankings.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Within the next two weeks, Central Florida will play host to some big college football bowl games. Steve Hogan is the CEO at Florida Citrus Sports, which is hosting two of the bowl games. He said the bowl games will also mean more exposure for Orlando and Central Florida. “Everybody when they go to these bowl games, they go to have fun,” Brown said. Tailgating will not be allowed at the Cheez It Bowl or the Citrus Bowl.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Businesses near Camping World Stadium, many of which have already been struggling because of the coronavirus pandemic, are suffering another financial hit this weekend because the Florida Classic game is canceled because of COVID-19. The Florida Classic is the biggest rivalry game each year and one of the largest athletic fundraisers between Florida A&M University and Bethune Cookman University. Many businesses say they’re trying to make ends meet since the week-long events for the Florida Classic are going virtual, but it has been tough. Florida Classic event organizers told News 6 there were 55,730 at the classic game last year and the Orange County Comptroller’s Office said last year the game brought in $28 million in economic impact. You can read about all of the virtual events happening this week for the Florida Classic and how you can donate to FAMU and/or B-CU at floridaclassic.org

Nick Solomon said he knows this year things will be different with the classic events going fully virtual due to the pandemic. There are virtual events happening this Tuesday-Saturday as part of the Florida Classic week. Among those are events are like a diversity career fair, a virtual battle of the bands, a pep rally and more. FAMU President Dr. Larry Robinson said the donations are welcomed and he’s looking forward to the virtual events this year. More information about the full list of virtual events can be found at FloridaClassic.org.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – The Florida Classic events this year will look a lot different for alumni and families who usually pack Camping World Stadium for the big game and come to Central Florida for a good time. “Not being able to be in that environment and hear the sound it’s going to be a lot different,” Solomon said. Event organizers with Florida Citrus Sports are working to keep the spirit alive, but also encourage people to donate virtually to help keep Bethune Cookman University and Florida University growing strong.
