They’ve been playing football forever at Gainesville’s City Park on Green Street/Ronnie Green Parkway.The football field itself was graded in the early 1900s. Fans would line the sidelines to watch games because there were no stands. Some would watch from the surrounding hills, which formed a natural bowl for the field.
