So who has the better OCS - UCF or FAU? My vote is FAU.

Good question. I lean slightly towards FAU. Not sure why, I just like the look. It has nothing to do with my distaste for UCF lol. Seriously. I like their stadium a lot. Maybe it is the palm trees.

ET, you're one of my favorite posters, but on this subject I think you're missing the mark. If USF built a 45K seat OCSit would sell out every game and in my opinion that is better than averaging 55K

If they're doing a feasibility study I'm betting there is some strong donor interest already... As for a design we should take what FAU did and go bigger. FAU has club areas for those that require it

Based off of looks alone I'd go with FAU.

I'm going back to recruiting... you're not going to get anyone to come out and say it but recruits... this year... have indicated that having to ride a bus to and from the stadium is a factor in their decision.

Why wouldn't they say it? They say all kinds of things about their visits.

I have seen several that have stated playing in RayJay was a big plus in swaying them to commit to USF. I'd love to see some confirmation of the silent group of kids not commiting because of playing in a great NFL stadium.

FAU is another erector set stadium.

Yes it's Steel on 3 sides... but the home side has elevated concrete concourses and a nice club area... they also feature individual seating on both sidelines and bleachers in the endzones. There are full club areas as well as suites... it's way more than an erector set.

Big deal, does it bounce? :)

FAU was based on UCF's stadium. The general design is the same:

The exceptions is capacity in that FAU didn't enclose one end.

FAU stadium seats 30,000.

Brighthouse fits 45,000

Since both are based on the same design, they each can be expanded up to 65,000.

However FAU upgraded theirs:

Brighthouse has 822 club seats, 24 luxury suites,

FAU has 6,000 premium seats, including 24 suites, 26 loge boxes, 1,000 premier club seats, 4,000 priority club seats

Plus FAU's stadium is decorated in a tropical theme and will be the base/"jewel" of a matching new athletics district

And that my friends:

WKU recruited him too and USF fans that visited our away game there said its a nice stadium.

I was at the WKU game. The site lines suck. I've experienced better concession stands at high school games.

2009. We were sitting at the top of the bottom bowl in the visitors section. Could not see the time clock, blocked by the upper section.
