UCF vs Cinci SOLD OUT!

[Knight_Light]

End Zone surge pricing kicked in a week ago when cheap end zone tix went from $25 to $35...and then when game time of 8 pm AND Game Day was announced...priced jump to $60 and now its $75 and now almost gone!

(Ironically, those tix back in July could have been had for the entire SEASON TIX for just $99-$119)

DW was able to double the tix prices this AM because he saw this happening at the tix office (or now virtually online)

Holy Crap!

Holy Crap!

Wow lol. Could have had lower cabana tickets (+ upper cabana amenities) for only a little more.

Hahahahaha. I’m in the first row. $1000 for 2 seats for 7 games. So even less

 

[Stormthecourt?]

I have to attend a wedding. Wonder when I should post mine for sale

ASAP. It’s hot right now. Post it now and watch the trends. I can’t attend Gameday, but thankfully I can tailgate and attend the game.

A lot of people get married this time of year.

Yup, I missed the USF game last year attending a wedding!

 

[Knight_Light]

Many are unsold West Side Stadium Club Season Tix that are $200 plus per game but that's not too bad considering plan bleacher seat in upper end zone are now $75.

Sure that have the women wear the pants in the family (not that there is anything wrong with that).

 

[Mikesi]

Wow!! That makes this hurt less.

 

[Knight Strength]

We're sending a nice gift because some friends scheduled their wedding on black friday and there's no f***ing way we're missing our 8th home game this year.

Right I meant to say season tickets.

 

[JagKnight5]

Yes stadium club 209-211 has alcohol

 

[Knight_Light]

does stadium club have alcohol sections 209-211?

Yes and upgraded concessions. (Even has beer vendors walking up.and down the aisles so you never ha e to leave your seat if you want a beer.

 

[Flem3000]

$50 gift card in the mail and a big no on that invite....

 

[Mikesi]

I ate all of your Paella. Highly recommended.
It’s the only thing in the whole stadium that ever filled me up. Totally worth the $12. Very surprised how good the quality was.

However, i needed a nap afterwards

 

[Central Floridave]

Surprise surprise that Cincinnati is turning out to be our biggest game of the season. Who predicted this pre-season?

 

[thespiritof1976]

Dumb question here: Do we beat the overflow/SRO crowd from the Miami game back in 2009 ?

 

[Mikesi]

Dumb question here: Do we beat the overflow/SRO crowd from the Miami game back in 2009 ?

Not a dumb question. It’s unfortunate, but I don’t think that we will be able to. Simply because the addition of the Cabana has significantly lowered the number of seats

By the way, the Navy game looked like a near sellout. 44,738. Maybe it was

Amazing attendance this year that will finish strong. Will silence a lot of critics

We can’t put more in if the seats don’t exist

 

[Ace of Knights]

Lol at all the cheapskates mad because they can’t buy cheap guest passes. Fans when it’s convenient but don’t want to pay $$ when it’s really time.

 

[Knight Strength]

What's the plan for stadium expansion? Is it to expand what we have? Where do the new seats go? When do we plan to build a more permanent structure?

If we have a few sellouts a year, they will be losing money by turning fans away. No need to expand yet. First, ticket prices will have to go up or they will have to expand. When they first built the stadium, it was said that it could expand to 55-60,000. I would think they have to go higher

As far as a new stadium, that’s not likely unless we get some serious P5 money

 

[SCKnight]

I bought tickets in 229 this morning for $49 just before the announcement. glad i did

 

[Mikesi]

As far as attendance records, the Pittsburgh game ranks 10th and Navy 11th. Both in the same year. The Cincinnati game will most likely soon be in the top 10.

So that’s 3 out of the top 12 in 2018 alone.

UCF needs a brand new made for TV state of the art technology saturated bricks and mortar staduim. Make it 30k seats for permanent sell out TV optics. Football attendance is going down every year. Many P5 stadiums are already downsizing. Really noticing the smaller P5 crowd shots this year, so it's not just a G5 problem. Smaller built for TV stadiums like Tulane's are the way to go.

I have read quite a bit about dwindling attendance as well as programs like Northwestern downsizing their stadiums. I imagine we will also have to deal with this.

I just dont know if its smart to spend hundreds of millions of dollars so we can have fewer fans come to games. I guess I think the size we have now is good.

I'll put my trust in DW on this topic.

Tulane Stadium was 74M in 2014 dollars. GOL stadium was cheap to build, and good for its time, but UCF can do better.

Bounce House is the perfect size...no need to touch it. JWB

Well maybe we can hook the overflow people up with a VR set and they can attend a "virtual game" like ECU

Those are pretty good. Start by getting rid of the chain link fence in the stadium then work on offsetting the silver aluminum look of all the bleachers.

Sure just what UCF needs to do with its limited resources, spend money on ego.

 

[KnightsofGroveland]

I don't think expansion is even on the mind of DW while we're in the AAC. Sure, we may have a game here and there that generates enough interest to expand, but every year we also have the Tulsa'a/ECU's/Temple's/Tulane's/SMU's/UCONN's of the world that are a really difficult sell no matter how good we are.

Honestly, if Gameday wasn't here, would this Cincinnati game even sell out?

 

[thespiritof1976]

That's what I would do myself - work on bettering the stadium that we have. Slowly but surely replace all of the non-student section bleachers with black/gold bucket type seats with cup holders.

Then work on building a concrete/brick facade around all of the steel on the outside ring of the stadium. Similar to what FSU did back in the 90's.

Then top it off by expanding the Roth tower.

That said, getting to 55K would be a nice goal to have. That would put us right in the middle of the pack of about 1/3 of the P5 schools.

Really ? I had no idea. No, seriously. I'm about as marry-able as Barney Gumble....

Chain link fence removal I hope is a top priority and isn't expensive. Be cool to add more medieval flare. Concourse lights like these. Haunted house type feel to the outside.

How about we add a lazy river up at the top that runs around the ring of the stadium. Build up a huge retaining wall so people don't fall over. Hmmm. Maybe that isn't such a great idea.

Then again, I wanted a damn moat around the entire damn stadium in the first place with a castle facade around the steel structure.

Every time the Knights score, someone dressed like a Knight would shoot fireworks from a bow and arrow from one of the four corner towers of the stadium.
