School officials announced the changes Monday as they prepare to kick off the 2015 football season-ticket sales campaign. The beach-themed area is just one part of a new premium seating experience called the East Side Club, and construction is scheduled to start in three weeks at Bright House Networks Stadium. The project is expected to be completed before UCF football's first game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we need tips on handing out the opposing team's colors to the student section during homecoming or if we need a primer on getting shut out at home to a rival, we will definitely let you all know though!

Will you also help us with how to cope with a 50+ point loss to your rival? Or how to keep from giving money to a player's parents when their kid dies on your field?

We'll see how it's executed, but they'll get a lot of press every single game that's televised because it's unique. Detractors can talk about being far from a beach, but I loathe when the Pirate Ship gets a close up during our games. At least people think "beach trip" when they hear "Orlando" (or Tampa, for that matter). Worst case, for them, they build over it if it sucks. We don't even currently have the option to experiment like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
