There's still some time to go, but can we all agree that...

Neither team wears red so it would have looked terrible in Tampa.
Well we had more last night than ucf did...
Actual attendance was 38k so no you didn't.

Bright house was packed in 2013 with few USF fans. It’ll be packed again this year but I think more USF fans will make the drive this time.

If we only had a coach that is well versed in the option attack I would feel a lot better...

I just looked it up and the record for that stadium in 48,453 against Miami. If both teams are undefeated, is it possible to squeeze more into the stadium, or is that pushing it too much?
If demand exceeds supply significantly, you might as well move it to the Citrus Bowl

If you seriously believe Iron Bowl lost luster for a UCF and USF matchup, you are sadly delusional. All eyes are going to be on that

UCF has a lot more work to do to be undefeated than USF does. The Bulls toughest remaining game was against Houston (who unexpectedly got crushed by Tulsa). UCF has to get past both Navy and SMU. Would be grat for the AAC to have a premiere game on ABC between two Top 15 teams, but there is a lot of work to be done first.

Oh good, has the stadium already released the actuals? Can you provide a link?
UCF releases actuals? Please let us know your actual attendance so we can compare apples to apples. We had loads, though. Loads.
Our announcer has always been very close to actual. We announced 40,500 and it was exactly that inside the stadium. It was packed once everyone was in.
The USF pictures look like 37K to me
No ones announced is exactly the actual. Ever. Read the 1000's of articles online about announced attendance numbers and what goes into them. But most programs are able to hide behind their announced numbers, unlike USF. Heck, even the Bucs seriously inflates numbers (along with virtually every other NFL, NCAA, NBA, MLB, and NHL team)

You are correct. For every school there is always a discrepancy between announced and actual, even when the game is a sellout. But everyone on here knows that USF has a reputation for inflating the numbers by huge amounts. Past comparisons between USF announced and actual have been off by as much as 15,000...maybe even more on occasion.
Knowing the capacity of Spectrum Stadium, you can look at photos and easily see that actual attendance was within 2,000 of announced this week. When the student section is full, it holds several thousand over the capacity of those sections because the students squeeze together and stand for the whole game.

Exactly. It’s not even close.

Well the facts are that USF does get its actual numbers announced so everyone gets to know exactly how many were there
Everyone else does not so we know the announced numbers but never know the actual
Another fact 38k plus were actually there for USF Homecoming

I think the game would be fine in Tampa, though I am glad it will be in Orlando. Orlando will be a near sell out, and if it was in Tampa with cheaper seats, 50k would be very possible.

It will be a sellout. I'm hearing tickets will go for a pretty penny.
