It was the editors "Letter of the Day". Guy went on a rant about the need for an OCS, made reference to the Green Jacket donors (dig actually), also talked up UCF's Stadium (like its some Crown Jewel). Lost ALL CRED when he talked about how nice UCF's TIN BOX IS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost ALL CRED when he talked about how nice UCF's TIN BOX IS. UCF's stadium is nice because it doesn't have 40K empty seats. It is nice because they never have to wonder if the field will be painted with their symbols. Its nice because ........ I will take a relatively cheap stadium vs using the Bucs. I realize that people will disagree with me on this but there has been a change in their fan base since they put up that stadium and it isn't just because they are winning more, although that helps. I think the OCS has helped generate a larger and more loyal following. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning has been the biggest boost to their attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were 2 - 0... Just maybe, we could have this stadium talk. We need a winning season before the OCS conversation even comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is that using that code will result in an earthquake or Godzilla attack later on. Might be worth it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with building out the soccer stadium to seat 35,000, then build from there when we can show we can fill the place" ( Dude wants to play in the soccer stadium LMAO) "So sorry, Green Jacket Club. I pray that your club seat and sky box days are over soon" (That's right lets piss off the people who actually donate the most money to the program). "UCF, which built an awesome facility and is benefiting in huge ways (see: 2013 season results)." (because we all know the stadium is the reason they had their best season in programs history). As I have stated many many times in the past Im for an OCS as well , but needs to be done right, needs to be done in stages( Winning and support first, than build). Needs to be top notch not like UCF's But more like Minnesota's or Houston's with More Chair backs. What happens when the newness wears off and people stop coming? IF We don't win this will be the reality. Also we will have to pay for it, Ticket prices will go up, or donations will increase, or PSL'S could happen. People need to be careful what they wish for.

I pray that your club seat and sky box days are over soon and, if not, USF will languish in that dungeon while pretending it is a good thing when all involved know it is not. I'm thinking the players are pretty involved and Thor, Elkino, et al disagree with Mr/Ms D Handler's assessment .... Go to 9:40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
