The football team has been invited to play in the prestigious St. Petersburg Bowl. Keith Tribble, UCF Athletics Director, said “I can assure you that the Knights fans will be there in droves.”
I doubt it. Here’s the reality:
UCF's announced attendance has dropped 3.8 percent from the 2008 season when the Knights posted a 4-8 record. The announced attendance also is a 13.5 percent decline from the 2007 season when the Knights played their first season at Bright House Networks Stadium and won the conference championship.
The Knights posted a 2-2 record in September that seemed to hurt UCF attendance late in the season. The problem was obvious when UCF hosted then-No. 13 Houston on Nov. 14. The school announced attendance of 36,776, but there were plenty of empty seats when the Knights recorded the first win over an Associated Press Top 25 opponent in school history.
