Gator fan booted for sitting during practice

GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA - In following new coach Ron Zook&#39;s rules, Florida officials removed a fan from the first day of spring practice Tuesday after he refused to stand to watch the Gators work out. <br> <br> Zook has instituted a rule requiring all coaches, players and spectators to stand throughout all practice sessions. <br> <br> A small set of metal bleachers that used to be stationed on the sideline of the practice field for spectators has been removed. <br> <br> After practice, Zook said he was unaware the spectator had been thrown out, but he reiterated the policy. <br> <br> ``It&#39;s a place of work,&#39;&#39; Zook said. ``I think the players appreciate it. Those are the rules. If they want to sit down, then they should come to practice when we are in The Swamp.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The Gators will scrimmage at Florida Field on Saturday, and at least two more times during the 15-day spring session. The rest of the practices will take place on the regular practice field, where the standing-only policy is in effect.
