One in memory mall closest the the arena, one one by the softball field which has no UCF fan interaction. Cram, sorry you had that experience....there are jerks everywhere. Come on back...I'll buy you a friendly beer. So the softball field lot is a visitors parking lot?? Did the motel scene from animal house teach us nothing?

That's the safest place to park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 54 year old brain cramp.....typing on dam tablet. The quiet tail gating area is actually just East on the baseball stadium, on some nice grass. Previous visitors have put up a large tent for shade and chairs, so I am sure that the USF Alum club is wired in. I think most organizations I have seen there, were professionally organized....Boston College, Miami.....I forget them now. I did not look at the last USF game there to see if they used it. There is a parking garage near the site but it may be for season ticket holders.....so let me see if I can post a decent map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about a 4 minute walk to the football stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made designated squares for the tents near the sidewalks and the middle is left open for throwing Footballs, cornhole, and emergency vehicles. I won't deny some of your fans having a bad experience but some of you act like you are heading to a third world soccer match. If you aren't drunk instigating in the middle of Greek Row or student section(front close to the UCF Arena) of Memory Mall you should be fine..it's a nice campus to tailgate on with a lot of space to avoid trouble. It seriously is way more tame now especially considering that the USF game is the day after Thanksgiving so it probably won't be the usual packed tailgate with fans driving in later from back home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seriously is way more tame now especially considering that the USF game is the day after Thanksgiving so it probably won't be the usual packed tailgate with fans driving in later from back home That's good to know. Last time we were all there it pretty much was a third world soccer match though, and for most of us, it was our only time stepping foot on the UCF campus. Before the game there wasn't much confrontation, but after the game when USF won and UCF fans were leaving the stadium yelling "F*$k USF" it got real 3rd world. My group just headed for our car and didn't even look at any UCF fans, let alone talk to them. How that warrants a full beer being thrown at me, or a frying pan flying by a girl's head... I have no idea? So here's to hoping you're right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenbuc Posted August 21, 2013 Group: Member Topic Count: 158 Content Count: 711 Reputation: 18 Days Won: 0 Joined: 09/19/2002 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The 2008 game was early in the season and an overflow sellout crowd. UCF's 2nd year on campus, to boot with usf fans on our campus for the first time, in a major setting. This game won't be nearly as nuts and the tailgating has tamed down considerably. Not to mention it'll be a Black Friday game and possibly at noon. Most students will be home for the holidays. So I don't think the experience will be anywhere near as nuts. Unless by some crazy way both of our teams are actually playing for the conference title. Then there may be some hype. If both teams suck or UCF sucks, it'll be dead.

Where ever the official USF tailgate is located, that is where I will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
