Ugh, this thread is making me agree with NAS. This thread should never have started. And not just winning, for the most part they are winning big.

The only way you get UCF’s atmosphere and tailgating...is trading in your green and gold gear for black and gold gear, and buying Bounce House season tickets.🥵 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreso than the OCS unicorn. But with the caveat you win them in an entertaining fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not having a gigantic sea of red seats every week does something to improve the atmosphere/experience. Not saying we should start building one now, because money-wise, I have no idea if it makes sense or not, but in response to the OP, yes, UCF has a better atmosphere at their home games it appears, and the OCS probably has something to do with it. But again, to answer your question, no doubt the 23 game winning streak is the biggest factor in that. The stadium is nowhere near the population center of the area. The paying fans (not the students) have to travel to get to the games. Ray Jay being 15 miles from the campus doesn't impact the attendance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that the attendance/atmosphere wasn't that great in 2016 or 2017 when we were actually winning most games. Not sure we'll ever have a more exciting offense than we did in 2016, and we posted an 11-2 record. I don't remember the attendance or atmosphere being all that great.
