UCF football = no tailgaiting
As most of us are aware, there is no alcohol allowed during collegiate events on the campus of UCF, which means no beer with that UCF football come fall. That's because the new Bright House Networks Stadium (new UCF stadium) will be open for business. No longer at the Citrus Bowl in downtown Orlando, this is where the football games will be played from here on out.
No alcohol allowed, even though they have a bar on campus, but that's another rant entirely.
A lot of colleges have to actually abide by this law. That's why they load up their grills and their coolers in the car, park and then proceed to get loaded in the parking lots outside the football arenas before the game. It's this little thing called tailgating.
But that won't be the case with UCF.
UCF will have a parking garage that will serve as the main parking facility for the new stadium. I guess you could conceivably throw down beers there as well (I have before, but that was a hospital parking garage, long story). But the fun of sitting in the sun, throwing the Frisbee, having water gun fights is all a part of it too. It doesn't make sense to put that much money behind the football team, and leave out one of the main elements of the whole shebang.
Or maybe this isn't an issue at all, except to the alchies in the audience like you and me. I guess I'll have to dust off the flask and suck it up. Just wanted to see what anyone else thought about this?
