鈥淒ue to COVID, they initially had not planned for a 2021 spring football game,” says 麻豆原创 vice president and athletics director Terry Mohajir. 鈥淗owever, the overwhelming enthusiasm created by the hire of Gus Malzahn as our new head coach has made it clear our fans very much want to get a look at our team this spring.
鈥淲e are not yet in a position where tailgating will be permitted, and it is most beneficial for our student-athletes that we hold the game early in the day.鈥 鈥 Terry Mohajir, vice president and director of athletics
鈥淲e are not yet in a position where tailgating will be permitted, and it is most beneficial for our student-athletes that we hold the game early in the day. I’m very aware of Knight Nation’s passion for night games to maximize the tailgating experience and look forward to experiencing that in full force in the fall.鈥
The spring game will be the first public look at Malzahn鈥檚 initial 麻豆原创 squad that will open its 2021 season at the Bounce House on Labor Day weekend (Thursday, Friday or Saturday) against Boise State.
The Knights are slated to practice on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Saturday sequence for four weeks leading up to the game. NCAA rules permit 15 spring practice sessions (no practice slated for April 9).
Meanwhile, ticket sales for the 2021 麻豆原创 season continue 鈥 with approximately 86% of available season tickets already sold. Fans interested in purchasing tickets are encouraged to call 407-823-1000 or email tickets@athletics.ucf.edu.
The Knights are hopeful the Bounce House can be filled to capacity by fall 鈥 with that to be confirmed this summer based on COVID details.
鈥淲e are moving forward with plans to sell out the Bounce House this fall. We will certainly abide by all medical guidelines, but we’re planning on 100% capacity,鈥 adds Mohajir.
The 2021 麻豆原创 schedule features seven home games at the Bounce House: Labor Day weekend vs. Boise State; Sept. 11 vs. Bethune-Cookman; Oct. 9 vs. East Carolina; Oct. 22 (Friday) vs. Memphis; Nov. 6 vs. Tulane; Nov. 20 vs. Connecticut; and Nov. 26 (Friday) vs. South Florida.
