I am coming to the UCF game from north of Dayton, and am bringing my two adult sons with me. One is old enough to have a beer, the other is not.

I am familiar with food and drink establishments around campus, OTR, and the Banks. But I have never previously looked in to the tailgating / on or near campus festivities to browse through. I am wanting to come down 4 - 5 hours early to hang out and eat and drink.

What can anyone fill me in on other than the BW3, Keystone, Brasstap, short Vine, etc?

If I am not an actual tailgater (ie parking a vehicle and bringing food and drink) can I get food and drink on campus?

Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, and is it a black-out game?

The tailgating lot will have a small selection of food and beer for sale at good prices.

Alaskan Black is more tender than Canadian Brown. Both should be marinated overnight cook to 165 degree internal temp.

Anyone familiar with the tailgating in front of Sawyer hall. My buddy has a space so where do you park. I would like to be close enough to transport my cooler and crock pot.

Yes, that's where the Grid is. But there are food and beer vendors there, a Family Zone, music (last week anyway there was some band playing). Definitely a good place to go if you want to hang out pre-game and don't want to do your own tailgate.

You have to find a spot in the garage or off campus. There are a few drive in lots but it's limited to the car/trailer that they have.
