Totally agree. No way we could match that atmosphere at  RayJay. UCF  managed to get that built after we were invited to the Big East, and they were left behind. FAU has managed to build an OCS,  and have an IPF underway, and they are a younger program. That game yesterday had a really big time look to it, and the setting had a lot to do with it. As far as the AAC showcase aspect of yesterday's game, I'm sure that Aresco, and anyone else with a vested interest was glad the game was in Orlando.

UCF fan here. I think you need an IPF first. Long term it really will help create the atmosphere you want if you get an OCS, but IPF and all the other facilities presented along with it are needed fir

No, but the IPF and the associated football facility will attract better players.  Better players = better team.  Better team = better record (usually).  Better record = more interest in the team.  Mo

We have a great stadium to play in right now.  The  IPF is more of an immediate need.  If the Citrus Bowl didn't kick UCF out for renovations, they'd probably still be playing there.  We'll get an OCS

I agree with that to the point that our anemic fan base would look a lot better in a smaller venue ....

Your last sentence is an excellent point. I think we would have seen the lower tier sold out and “maybe” a few pockets of people on the second level but the TV view might not have looked great.

The IPF and new football center it brings with it will attract more talent to USF than an OCS. Being that USF sees more lightning strikes than just about any school in the country makes it even more ridiculous that we don’t have one yet. An OCS someday may be nice but an IPF is more of a necessity and much for financialy feasible as well as more   Fiscally responsible of an investment. 

Agree!

Best way to get an OCS is selling out the lower bowl of RayJay.

IPF.. Not forget what we had in RJS when we were in Big East. UCF had the attendance issues until last Friday.

Recruiting is the key to keep our team winning and get an invitation to the power conference.  They obviously rather to be inside for practice than hot outside. :)

OCS will help boost attendance initially but as you guys showed in your Big East years, winning can bring people in even at RJS. It's a nice stadium. Get all your extra facilities first while you can still rent at a nice NFL stadium. Putting all the money into the OCS first would set your donors back a bit for the other stuff and you can't really rent out an IPF like you can rent a stadium.

Need the on campus Publix(though it will ruin my daily egress) first, then Publix can drop the check for the OCS.

Public would pay for naming rights NOT the cost oof the stadium construction 

 

I say OCS as it gives alumni a reason to visit the campus and create the game day atmosphere -- on campus.

I'll give you your second point, but I hate the first point.  If you need a reason to visit campus, then you're not that interested in visiting campus anyway.  Also, we have men and women's basketball, men and women's basketball, baseball, softball all on campus.  Visit then
