I live in Gainesville and I attend the USF games in Tampa which is kind of a inconvience for me. Now it would not be much of a hassel if USF had an OCS then I would not need to make the trek into town just to see the game USF is just outside of the traffic woes that going to Ray Jay presents. This season I made it to 5 games this year most I need to get a room which is great because there are plenty of good rooms for a good price in Tampa.
From the Gainesville prospective it is mostly people traveling into town and it is a whole weekend event not just a couple hours of football it starts Thursday and ends Sunday! People come from Ga. Orlando, Tampa, Ocala, Lake City, Jacksonville as far as Alabama. Shoot you should see the corprate airport on game weekends all the private jets that you never see during a normal week. Also every hotel has a three night minimum on game weekends so most people go North to Alachua or Lake City or South to Ocala for the night.
