I think it is the opposite. I think this shows how good things could be with an OCS.

All it proved was that 3012 came to a (1) soccer game....it doesn't guarantee that it will draw that many to every game, or that football would fill a 55K seat OCS every game. Has UCF filled it's 44K stadium every, since it moved from the Citrus Bowl to it's OCS?

no but their gameday atmosphere completely trashes ours.

You must really suck at tailgating ...

it sucks to tailgate at the bucs stadium instead of on campus

You must really suck at tailgating!

You can drink all the booze you want AND play with fire at the same time, but throwing a football around at a football game is just plain reckless.

I think Raymond James Stadium has a great and practical set-up for parking and tailgating; I think it is actually an advantage for the status quo. I am open to a new on-campus stadium sometime probably by the 2020's. But, if we do build one, I think we should provide some sort of significant parking space on-campus or at least very close, for convenience and to encourage an option for those who enjoy larger groups for tailgating.

Please explain how tailgating will be so much better on our campus ...

You can start tailgating on a college campus days before the actual game Triple B, not just four hours before a game which encourages power drinking among students and fans. When we went to Auburn, they had motor homes that had been there since the Thursday before we played them. When we tailgated for the UF game, we started at 7 AM. When we tailgated at Penn State... 7 AM. I highly doubt that USF would limit us from having sound systems and DJ's at the tailgate like they do at Raymond James. We tailgated in the same spot for approximately seven years until they broke up our venue due to BS regs at Raymond James (Bulls Tailgating runs a great set up). I remember pulling up in a H2 Hummer for the WVU game at 10 AM for a 7 PM game. Can't do that anymore. The pictures from that tailgate bring back lasting memories for many of us.

The longer hours is a definite better but don't know about the sound limiting. We're in Lot 3 and a lot of times there's student activities in a lot adjacent to ours and I think there has been loud music over there ....

its also an opportunity to go back to the place you graduated.... see familiar places and see the changes on a regular basis.... Seeing campus flooded with people and folks tailgating in lots/fields (on campus of course) would be really cool to see...

some of you guys need to go to away games and see what its like...

    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.
