Here's a photo of Central Florida's new stadium. One end is nearly complete.

The stadium is designed to give as many fans as possible the best view possible, and of course, the press boxes and the cocktail suites are placed behind the fans where they belong.

Central Florida will open the new stadium with a game against the Texas Longhorns and is currently negotiating series with several other premier programs.

I'm in St. Augustine, and I'm tempted to get some season tickets to see that place open. It's going to be black and has been dubbed "The Dungeon" by the UCF fans.

Where'd you get that photo?

Me no likey.

And why do you say the cocktail suites belong behind the fans? I like the idea of the suites being below the upper deck above the fans in the lower deck. I do not see why the cocktail suites need to be farther away from the field. Something like:

I like it. Yes sure, it is basically glorified bleachers, but who cares? You're right next to the field, all sides connected, and it is new. Bravo UCF. Bravo. :clapping:

Did I mention they are hosting U FREAKING T? Hellooooo?

Yes, the new stadium helps, but think about this. You are UT and you want to make a precense in the Florida recruiting hotbed. You can play Florida State, Florida, U or Miami or UCF. Who would you want to play? FSU, UF and UofM are not "guaranteed wins" but UCF might be.

Probably will not be a game that UCF fans will want to remember as the first game in their new stadium. The 'Horns will crush them.

The Horns are coming out to El Paso in 2008 to play UTEP.

To be honest with you I dont mind sitting in true end zone seats. I think it gives you a unique prospective of the game and at time would prefer to be in an end zone versus the sideline. Now that being said End Zone seats that are in Cooke county when the game is being in played in Denton is not a good seat and would not be a choice to sit in.

The view from watching a game in the end zone seats makes me think I'm playing XBOX :lol:

How much did it cost them?

How many seats?

I remember when we played Florida State in Tallahassee (Fry Era) when the Voice of the Mean Green, ie, Bill Mercer described the Seminoles stadium as mostly aluminum.

You play UCF for the guaranteed win in the Florida recruiting hotbed.

I'm from Florida, and I'm a 9-year Texan. I'm also a military brat and have lived in many places... Texas and Florida are the two best football states at both high school and college levels.

It's going to open at 45000 and is expected to expand to 65000. Estimates said it would cost 40-45 but looks closer to 65 million now. I really do like he look but the whole thing is built from aluminum sections like our end zones just with a much nicer facade.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.

      So a lot of you think that NT is not deserving of your valuable fandom. I actually was proud of the team that continue to battle with a completely revamped lineup including a completely untested QB. Yeah and spare me the low expectations accusations that are usually leveled at anyone that dares to not rave and rant about a loss.

      Wow. Really? What an asshole. As far as Drew is concerned, four words come to mind: ”A Star is Born”
