UCF Fans should not get beer, they are already nasty people.  They don't need alcohol.

ECU has the largest OCS in the AAC: 50,000. Therefore I would expect our new stadium to have a capacity of 50,001.

An on campus football stadium is the cornerstone of a college campus. CCS stated it best. It's the sense of pride and feeling of defending YOUR turf. 

This is a no brainer. Make this happen Mrs. Genshaft! I hope that Coach Strong does not let up on this until it becomes a reality. It will be part of his legacy. Real tradition starts from within. GET THIS GOING NOW!!!!!

Go Bulls!!

I feel I need to put this at the start of my post, because no one seems to read it when I put it at the end.  I want an OCS.  However, it's not a, "no brainer."  There are several things to consider.

If it was a no brainer, we'd already have one.

An OCS is a waste of money with a world class stadium just down the road.

The same group of people that think $100m is no big deal when it's someone else's money likely rent the SD movie on demand because they are too cheap to pay for the extra dollar for HD.

I only rent the SD movie for kids movies.  HD is a necessity for my movies.

Wait people still rent movies, I always just buy when given the option because if I like it and want to watch again by renting a second time it costs about the same.

 

Granted I also don't think that USF needs an OCS, not against one but there are more important things than the moneypit an OCS would be. It's kind of like my boat, I love being out on the water in the summer but with all the maintenance and moorage it's probably cheaper to rent.

The same group of people that are OK with renting space at an NFL stadium better be the same people that are OK with limited fan support and limited national and local interest from here until the end of time....because that's exactly what will happen.

It's not USF's stadium. They are not "home" games. 

If 20 years in to this program they are still relying on the novelty of playing in an NFL stadium for recruiting we are destined to remain a footnote and afterthought in big time college football.

There is 0 proof that an OCS adds fan support or any local or national interest. That is one of the assertations I hate most from the OCS contingent. Sure other fan bases like to tag on us for playing at Ray Jay but I don't really care what UCiF and ECU fans have to say about our university.

 

The only fans an OCS is guaranteed to bring in are the exact same ones that have been show in up to Ray Jay. I'm sure the fans that left aren't going to show up just because we are now on campus. Wooly Bull is an OCS bringing you back to more than a game or 2 a year?

There are no guarantees in just about any business decision. But you can pretty much guarantee that if nothing changes, nothing will change.

Again, if you are happy with the current state of the program, keep voicing your opinions AGAINST the OCS. That is your prerogative, just like it is mine to keep ringing the bell for an OCS every time this topic comes up.

I believe that people that live around the campus, that are not even alumni or current students, will go to more games. They live in the area, they've grown up around the area. They likely feel a part of the University already. It will breathe new life into the program, the campus and the immediate surrounding areas.

I for one, with my family of 4, will definitely attend more games at an OCS. I like going to the campus. I live in Pinellas County so the drive doesn't make a difference to me either way. 

Every time I go to Ray Jay, I get Club Level tickets, enjoy all of the "first class" amenities and I could not care less. It is NOT a college football environment. It never will be. I want USF Bull games to feel like college football games. College football is a unique product. It is not the NFL. I don't care for the NFL.

I like going to the Swamp. I like going to Doak. I like college campuses. I like college stadiums. I like the college atmosphere. Bulls games at Ray Jay are sterile.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
