Some that stick out to me that haven't had a lot of chatter:

9. Beer garden in IOA Plaza. I'm looking at you @firm_bizzle
23. New seating for the band. Sections 135 and 136. (As a former Marching Knight i'm a little biased, this is where they should be.)
24. Flyover!
33. Free ice water for the fans.
35. New specialty food items, different for each game.

ETC.

Danny White is doing work! Completely changing the gameday experience at UCF. It's been a long time coming. I can't wait until Saturday!

Why do you like the band better in 135-136?

I need a "love" button. See huggers, this is what happens you combine Firm_bizzle foresight with UCF athletics.

This is where they originally were when the stadium opened in 07. They were moved to the upper student section sometime during the 2008 season. I'm no acoustics expert, but I think the home sidelines will be able to hear the band a little better with this new placement because they will be facing the home sidelines more. In the upper deck they were simply just playing to the open field.
 
I hope we get Wifi or better cellular reception someday as well. It's nice to check stats, the status of other games, text friends, send pics, etc.
 
This is just such a new experience for UCF fans, and we really have President Hitt and Danny White to thank for all of this. For so many years we have wanted new voices in the athletic dept, younger voices. So President Hitt hires Danny White. And BOOM, within one off season everything that fans have ever complained about over the years changes.

The food trucks are a great idea too. Supports local small businesses further linking them to UCF and adds food options for the tailgating fans/fans arriving to the stadium looking for a quick bite.

I've been asking for these forever:

18. Black and gold flags along the top of Bright House Networks Stadium


Todd was going get the Food Trucks in the Stadium. This is the next best thing.

Happy we got all these changes that we've been wanting, sad that I just moved across the country and won't be at the games all the time anymore.
 




In case anyone is interested. I usually try to get to my seat 15-20 minutes early. I was hoping this would be closer to kickoff but I'm sure they have a lot planned. For you really early birds check it out.

Someone on other board had a great idea:

Do it once early as planned (40 mind before kickoff to get students fired up), then do it between 3rd and 4th Q with the entire stadium joining in.
 
If you could get the student section doing this... Wow
 
It is kinda of cool football season is here! <--preaching to the choir. Saturday should be fun. I'm curious to see this "beer garden" and if they have craft beer or not. I'll have a back up plan if it just bud lite crap.....

Cheers to that. AD White needs to be searching for a local brewery to hook up with. It's a trend and we should be among those at the forefront if we're going to call ourselves a forward-thinking program. Here's some examples:

CSU and New Belgium are teaming up:
“New Belgium Brewing continues to be such a tremendous supporter of Colorado State University across the board,” said Brett Anderson, vice president for university advancement. “They invest in our students and our institutional success time and time again. Their gift to the new on-campus stadium speaks to their focus on community-building and their desire to support places and things that bring people together. We are so thankful for their continued partnership and support.

Today, we’re also unveiling a one-of-a-kind, in-stadium experience called the New Belgium Porch. In the fall of 2017, you’ll be able to enjoy a Fat Tire while having an amazing New Belgium football experience inside Colorado State's new stadium.

Wake Forest is partnering with Foothills:
Foothills Brewing Company (Winston-Salem, NC) has partnered with Wake Forest University. The school will soon be selling the brewery’s beer lineup at select school events.

I think UCF has a beer brewery course. Maybe give an opportunity (since ucf stands for opportunity) to showcase UCF student brewed beer. The craft beer industry has really exploded the past decade. No reason to drink shitty beer anymore. One of these days they will see the light and have someone walking the stadium aisles and selling craft beer to us football fans!
