"UCF was investing only enough to expect something along the lines of a high-school stadium"

I was there at 4 in the morning with a key to open the gate.


On May 9, 2006, it was announced that the Texas Longhorns would be the first opponent for the UCF Knights in the new stadium. The game, the first of three scheduled meetings between the schools,[20] was held September 15, 2007. A sellout crowd of 45,622 saw the Knights put a scare into the Longhorns before falling 35–32.[21][22]

During the opening game, vendors ran out of water at halftime, leading to the hospitalization of 18 people for heat exhaustion. In order to correct the issue, UCF provided a free bottle of water to each person at the next game and immediately began work to install at least 50 water fountains throughout the stadium in order to comply with the 2004 building code requirement

It was HOT. As a matter of fact the hottest day I could ever remember tailgating was not there but at the Citrus Bowl it was 107 with 98% humidity we tried to sit in the cars to run the air conditioner but that wouldn't even work

Even if Ford Stadium had such a problem, we are lucky we don't put much stress and weight on the structure with our crowds.

So cool to beat down on our own.

Our sorority girls who show up weigh 60% of theirs and leave at half. So we've got that going for us!

The kids will show once we can be consistent and follow up big wins by winning more and if you do lose look respectable at least.

Now I've been to both campuses mucho times. And to claim the coeds are hotter/ weigh less haha at SMU than UCF parallels with the Rice SMU intellectual semantics.

Never been to UCF but I tend to side with you from what I have seen.
