The one game where you had a bigger crowd this year, the tv cameras were definitely shaking.  I'm guessing that would mean it was bouncing.  I'm sure it's safe.  I doubt the university would risk the

6-2? 64-12? 41-3? We may pay rent but our stadium isnt going to collapse?

There are several hotels around the University Blvd and Alafaya Trail area.  There's a Courtyard, Residence Inn, Townplace Suites, and a DoubleTree all in that area.  As far as lounges/bars, there's a Bar Louie on the NW corner of Alafaya and University.  Knight Library on University just east of Rouse Rd is a popular night club.  There are lots of restaurants nearby also.

I'm looking forward to being there again. Stadium wasn't too bad, just feels a little high-schoolish.

I don't really see a reason to stay near UCF.  It's no more of a college town than USF is so your not going to be taking in any pageantry while eating apps at Applebee's or Olive Garden.  I do think it's easier to find large concentrations of spots than what I saw when I stayed at USF (Embassy) and ventured for a drive on all four sides of your campus.  But 99% chains. 

Im partial to Downtown Orlando and am happy to offer more insights on that if you'd like.   It's a very short drive to campus if you have Sunpass - literally door to door to campus on the 408 in about 15 mins.   And leaving campus onto 408 can be as quick as getting back to your hotel in local traffic after the game. 

It's not a, "college town",  but the bars around there do have a lot of college kids go, especially Knight Library.

But why would a USF fan care about staying near bars that cater to those college kids ... ? Like 04 said, there's tons of places to stay away from there but convenient to get to ...

I don't know, you'd have to ask NYCBull.

I’ve said I don’t want to be in college bars or any place that’s has 25cent pitchers or let teenagers in .. want to be where mid 20s and 30s hang out.. that’s why I’m trying to figure out where to stay. Is it worth staying near the stadium or am I better off near church st

Sorry, I misread.  Then you don't want to be near the campus.  As stated before, downtown would be better.  There's Church Street and the Lake Eola area

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
