Getting a 2 for 1 with ND is actually a great get. No one else in the conference is doing that. And getting UF in Tampa, I bet a certain school's fans are hot about that. Congrats.
As stated before, they’re only doing that because ray jay is rented and UF can fill that stadium with half of their fans. UF insisted on playing us at the Citrus Bowl instead of Spectrum for that reason, which is a non-starter.
Yeah I know, and I understand the situation. That doesn't change the fact that UF is playing at USF's home stadium. Doesn't matter if they rent it or not, it's their home stadium is the real point.
And on that day, I will be there decked out in my Gator gear
Jorts and a Mullet. Can’t wait
Better be prepared, because all these USF "Home" games essentially away games for USF. Don't get me wrong, I would love for UCF to schedule 2-1 with the upper P5 teams, providing that they are played in the UCF stadium for their home game (which they have yet to be offered any). However, all these teams know that for USF, it will essentially be a home game for them since you will bring your 5,000 fans and they will bring their 60,000 fans (All in my tailgating group will be there).

When ND comes to Tampa we will be back to full capacity. If we bring 20k fans then I don't care if 45k fans are from ND (USF fans have started showing up again when the team is winning, so it very likely could be better than that). Besides, we get to keep all the gate proceeds. USF could make millions on that game.

I sure hope so for your sake. It will not be a good look for USF to be outnumbered in their own stadium. I will be rooting for you all, except against the Gators ofcourse lol.

The 2017 and 2018 homecoming games both had 38k to 40k in the stands, showing that we were recovering on attendance before CCS's terrible coaching ruined it over the next 19 games. I don't see that home game happening until 2022, so once Scott has the team back to winning I expect that we will not be outnumbered.
