UCF isn't even anywhere near a beach. I don't get why their fans would be considering a beach trip over a football game.

For the record, UCF is less than an hour from the beach.

Well Son of a Beach!

It's about an hour from both Cocoa and Daytona. I'd be shocked if the beach is seriously competition for their fans. An hours drive to the beach isn't a spur of the moment trip. Not with everything else available near there. Next are they going to build a roller coaster into the other side of their stadium?

My stepmother live in Cocoa Beach. Fantastic place. I don't know how well this will fly over but they are in the Pantheon on G-5 programs. They know how to created succes.

I will say this. The Jags did something similar with the pools. Idea is cool and will attract people. Until it gets cold. It doesn't get super cold in Florida but warmer weather folks tend to get cold faster. Your attraction basically has value in August and September games. Better hope October stays above 70 or no one will care for a beach theme (or a pool in the Jags case).

All you need to do is win and win consistently. All the bells and whistles will only peak casual interest. There is so much to do over hear that fans give up quickly if you are not a winner.

Meh, I think stuff like this is really just gimmick to keep stimulate interest and keep the conversation going about the project. It's not about the linear relationship between the attraction and the handful of people who would truly care about such a thing.

Maybe so. But UCF hired a good coach and kept him. They allowed him to build a program the way he wanted. In 1997 they had Duante Culpepper we had Tim Rattay. 18 years later look at where they are and where we are. They are what many of us should emulate.

We should plant some pine trees and place some fake deer props in the north endzones. It'll be a hunters theme bar.

LOL. I was just about to post the same. I was envisioning a row is pine trees in the north endzone with people sitting in deer stands.

This could be cool, but looks a little too gimmicky to me by the drawings. I will reserve judgement until it is built, but I WILL judge then.

I would pay to sit in one of those.
