Some Knight fans will be trading in their thanksgiving meal at a table for a holiday tailgate…
Reservations for the University of Central Florida Knights vs. University of South Florida Bulls football game will open today, Monday Nov. 2 at 10 a.m.
The game will be held Thanksgiving day, Nov. 26 with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff. Tailgating begins at noon.
Reservations are available through the Knights on the Mall website, where students and alumni can select their free tailgate spot.
“The spots are popular and tend to go quickly, so plan accordingly. If you’re not able to reserve a spot, there’s still a chance: Reserved spaces with cancellations or no-shows will become available on a first-come, first-served basis the afternoon of each game,” according to a news release.
A few spaces in the alumni section of Memory Mall for the East Carolina game on Thursday, Nov. 19 are still available as well.
Kick off for the East Carolina game will also be at 7:30 p.m. with tailgate beginning at 4 p.m.
Fans may purchase parking in Garage H for $20 on game days. The profits collected will fund scholarships for first-generation students.
The only spots on campus that can be reserved for tailgate are those on Memory Mall. The rest of the campus tailgate is first-come, first-served.
Knights on the Mall is an initiative started by UCF Student Government Association this football season to bring reserved tailgate spots, as well as food an entertainment, to the pre-game experience.
