With exclusive access to campus prime tailgating spaces, UCF students and alumni can begin reserving spots for the first home football game of the season on Monday morning.

Registration for tailgating spaces for the FIU vs. UCF home opener will open Monday morning at 10 a.m. Tailgating activities for the first football game of the season will begin at 1 p.m., and kick off will start at 6 p.m. at Bright House Networks Stadium.

Students and alumni can select their tailgating spaces here when registration begins.

For the first time ever, Memory Mall will also host numerous food trucks as well as live bands in the Student Government Association tailgating area.

Student reservations will be closer to the UCF Student Union while alumni reservations will be closer to the CFE Arena.

UCF says the change was made to ensure students and alumni a spot to tailgate without having to show up hours before kick off. Fans will be able to check as early as one hour before tailgate activities begin and as late as three hours before kick off.

Unreserved spaces (if any) will be available to students and alumni at check in time, noon for the FIU game. Those interested should go to the student check-in table.

Students or alumni who do not register for a tailgate reservation in time can set up tailgate anywhere on campus except Memory Mall. All fans are welcome to journey to Memory Mall to enjoy the live bands and food trucks.
