It is the largest home crowd for a I-AA game, beating the Drake 33,827 from the first season.Kizarvexis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it is definitely put up or shut up time for UCF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of USF alums live in the Tampa/St. Pete area?? C'mon Bulls fans, show your support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed with the turn out, I thought we'd hit 50k for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't want to see their team while they are in this state.I did note quite a few empty seats in the sections around the 50 on the west side. Shame on the high donors for not either showing up or making sure that those tickets were used! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my view when the FAMU band was on the field every seat in each end zone and the east side looked like it had a body in it (and no one was wearing red or pewter shirts.)
