Comments on: Tailgate Public Records Request Analysis http://www.ucfpride.com/football/tailgate-public-records-request-analysis Providing infomation, guides, audio, video, and pictures on UCF Tailgates, Football, Basketball, and Baseball sporting events Fri, 05 Aug 2011 00:39:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Scott http://www.ucfpride.com/football/tailgate-public-records-request-analysis/comment-page-1#comment-6769 Scott Thu, 03 Sep 2009 02:35:30 +0000 http://www.ucfpride.com/football/tailgate-public-records-request-analysis#comment-6769 This is just the UCFAA asserting their power and hiding behind committee when questions arise. It is the way business is conducted today and there is a total disregard for the paying customer. UCFAA is using tailgate policies changes to test the process for future policy changes probably concerning ticket pricing and donor level. UCFAA should try the honest approach and just tell the fans why the changes were made instead of getting caught in lies and misinformation. The "song and dance" approach only makes people angry and in the short term makes it hard to grow and stimulate a young program. UCFAA needs to stop worrying about what other D-1 programs are doing and start concentrating on what is best for growing support for UCF.

-crime statistics (on-campus, Seminole and Orange counties) had a “non-statistically significant” increase in crime rates

-alcohol abuse a concern, but “limited serious incidents and consistently small underage violations (<2%)”

According to this slide, it appears (as we all already knew) that there really was no huge issue with tailgating policies as they existed last year and lends to the belief that policy changes were a result of overreaction to the USF tailgate.
