Usually on weekday game days, all classes after noon would be cancelled by UCF. This year, however, UCF will be extending class hours until 3 p.m. meaning that Memory Mall will not be open for tailgating until 4 p.m.
This is all according to an e-mail sent out to UCF faculty informing them to plan their class schedules accordingly being that UCF has two week day games this upcoming season against Akron of Aug. 29 and Rutgers on Nov.21.
The move to push back classes and start tailgating later essentially boils down to UCF being able to hold hundreds of more classes that would otherwise be cancelled. The games, which tentatively start at 7p.m. means that there will only be three hours of “open container” before the football games at Memory Mall.
The game against USF, which will be held on Friday Nov. 29 will have a full day of tailgating being that it is over Thanksgiving break and no normal classes are scheduled.
