UCF put up a notice and sent out emails that the two 6pm games in September have been moved to 7:30pm. Its worded to imply this was done as a response to the feedback fans have generated recently. However I personally find it hard to believe that to appease fans they moved the kickoff back 90 minutes, it would have made more sense to just allow tailgating to start 90 minutes early.

There is some talk that this game time change may have already been in the works for Bright House TV, I guess time will tell on that. Either way I think this is a weak compromise and doesn’t resolve many of the issues, mainly the problem of having thousands of fans streaming in at the same time at noon. Traffic, mad dashes for tailgate spots, and you still have to setup your tailgate during the hottest part of the day. I encourage everyone to continue contacting UCF if you are still not satisfied.!
