*UCF vs. FAU Game Thread*
- Thread starter ucfversusbcs
- Start date
The late arrivals were due to the rediculous security and ticket staff situation. It took me 40 minutes but just got in before kickoff...some say it took them over an
It wasn't packed. It was never packed at any point during the game.
There were loads of empty seats in the north endzone, east side upper deck and tons of empty seats peppered throughout the stadium.
It was packed. I was there. It was a record crowd. Obviously scalpers took up some seats that weren’t filled

Maybe. But It never looked full on the TV broadcast and it never sounded particularly loud.,,except the “UCF Knights!” chants on kickoffs
I was in the endzone at the top of the lower bowl and there wasn’t an empty seatMaybe. But It never looked full on the TV broadcast and it never sounded particularly loud.,,except the “UCF Knights!” chants on kickoffs
I guess my definition of packed is nearly full, a record and hard to move.
Not many game have EVERY seat taken
Additionally, a lot of people were not in their seats.
They were all over the place. The deck, concessions and looking for it in other people’s seats
So.., was every seat taken? No
That may be - but there was never a crowd shot I can remember that didn’t have huge chunks of blue empty seats.
Regardless, great turnout by UCF fans, even if the locals couldn’t be bothered.
I think you need glasses.
Will you at least admit that there were tons of empty seats in the north upper deck endzone?
I was there too.
I was in section 220. It was very weird. At one point around 8 mins in the 1 st quarter it was very crowded. But people left very very quick. It was odd
how about Bentavious Thompson
Maybe I’m blind. I couldn’t move in an area that isn’t typically packed. I was swarmed in an area that didn’t have a single empty seat
I looked around at the end of the first half and didn’t see a lot of empty seats
I guess right behind me in the upper level. That’s the north endzone. I couldn’t see that from my seat
Obviously, I’m missing something if everyone is saying it wasn’t packed
I’ll just blame it on being too drunk
I saw the big blue empty chunks often too... but I though that was the student section. Everyone remember they moved the student section to the away side. Maybe those empty chunks were where students didn't hang around or maybe never filled in?
He looked great. Actually seems like the most effortless runner we have. Seemed like it was easy for him. I love seeing him, Coles, Johnson, Zayas, etc. out there. And Thompson seems to be getting a lot of PT for being what some would call our 4th RB. He's going to do well.
The student section was packet at 6pm. That’s when I got in. We were first ones in 220. 220 was pretty full. Concession lines were terrible and no one was walking around selling anything. You had to wait at least a half hour to get water, beer or food. It was bad. FAU students were flat out dicks. Not every one but quite a few. Campus police wouldn’t let us get into an Uber at the bus shelter thing. Said it was illlegal to do so. Glad we beat the piss out of them. I moved up at halftime by the FAU band in which there were 10 people for probably 80 seats and some guy sitting there asked if we were band parents. Made us move because we weren’t. Ended up moving to FAU student section. Wasn’t too bad there. Most of the drunk students had left by then.
I agree Thompson looked great, but the FAU defense was already getting tired at that point in the game. I still think his future is bright.
I have to admit, the stadium seats are nice. If we ever expand we should convert the whole stadium over to the fold down seats. I was on the home side and they had a big bar, and several areas with couches and chairs to hang out. It’s a real nice setup.
I do realize getting into the stadium was a clusterf-ck but I think that was their problem and had nothing to do with the design.

Home side was probably better. End zones and away wasn’t great. The seat backs were nice though. Most of the FAU fans have no idea what was going on. Older lady next to me was stomping her feet before snap when FAU had ball because we were. A band parent of FAU asked me how I knew the FAU players names when I was talking about our players.
end zone halfway through the 1Q............BTW on the right side of the student section it looked very sparse as well.......
People didn’t get in until 8 pm. Probably after 1st quarter was over.end zone halfway through the 1Q............BTW on the right side of the student section it looked very sparse as well.......
