A word of warning should go out to anyone living in East Orlando - “You’re screwed” on UCF gamedays. Just get used to that idea and it will help you get over your frustrations for living on this side of town. The basic truth is that UCF cannot possibly handle the amount of traffic or parking for a University of Central Florida home football game at the new UCF stadium on campus.

If you think it’s bad there, don’t even bother going towards Oviedo or anywhere around Alafaya Trail north of the 408.

It’s been a LONG time coming, but the UCF Knights will be playing their first football game against Texas this weekend in the brand spanking new UCF Stadium. The game with the Longhorns will serve as the first contest at the 45,000-seat venue. 6 games will be played at the new stadium this year and you can still buy eason tickets by calling 407-UCF-1000.
