In response to student and alumni feedback from last season, registration will open at 6 p.m. on the Sunday before each home game.

For 麻豆原创鈥檚 Sept. 3 home opener against South Carolina State, reservations will open at 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 28. Spaces are reserved for free online on a first-come, first-served basis.

Traffic will not be able to enter the campus via North Orion Boulevard starting at the end of the first quarter while the road is set up to handle exiting traffic on all four lanes.

Can I Take a Shuttle to the Game?

On game day, 麻豆原创 will operate the student shuttles that normally serve off-campus apartment complexes, except for Tivoli, Northgate and NorthView (routes 6 and 13) because of their close proximity to the stadium. Except for those routes, shuttles will run starting at 1 p.m. and conclude two hours after the game ends. Please note there is no room on the shuttles for large items like coolers, tents and lawn chairs.

All fans can use 麻豆原创鈥檚 park-and-ride shuttles on game day. The shuttles will pick up passengers at the Research Pavilion in the Central Florida Research Park starting at 4 p.m.
