Here’s proof that Tom Petty’s music is going to resonate for decades to come.
Petty’s song “I Won’t Back Down” was played between the third and fourth quarter of Saturday’s University of Florida football game against LSU in Gainesville, Florida, and the fans joined along in a rousing sing-along. Watch below:

Petty, who was born in Gainesville and worked at UF as a groundskeeper, would have been honored. And we have a feeling a new tradition at the University of Florida has been born.
