For the first time since Bright House Networks Stadium opened in 2007, UCF will host a weeknight home game this season. The game is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 6, against the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and it will be broadcast on ESPN.<\/p>\n
On that day, UCF will conduct classes on the main campus and in the adjoining Research Park through 12:20 p.m. to allow for the completion of classes that begin at 11:30 a.m. Additionally, the university will close for normal operations at 12:30 p.m. with various support functions remaining in place similar to Saturday game policy.\u00a0 Please speak to your supervisor about how your area will handle operations after 12:30 p.m.\u00a0 Parking and traffic considerations for this Wednesday night game drove these decisions as per policy that has\u00a0 been in place since the stadium opening.<\/p>\n
Similarly, UCF classes at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management and other regional campuses will end at 2:50 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 6, with normal university operations closing at 3:00 p.m. to allow for the completion of most classes at those sites and still support student, faculty and staff member participation at the football game.<\/p>\n
The campus Gold Zone lots will open for game day parking at 2 p.m. Staff and faculty members and students who typically park in \u201cGold Zone\u201d lots and Parking Garage B need to plan ahead and park in alternative locations (Red and Blue zone lots) or be prepared to move their vehicles from Gold Zone lots and Parking Garage B prior to 12:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
Vehicles displaying valid UCF parking passes\/decals and valid football parking credentials may stay in the designated Gold Zone lot throughout the day; however, unauthorized cars in those lots will be towed beginning at 12:30 p.m. Parking Garage B will be reserved for specifically authorized individuals on official university business.<\/p>\n
The Gold Zone is located on the north side of campus, and it includes the C and D lots and garages behind the Engineering and Health and Public Affairs buildings. To view a map of the Gold Zone, click here: http:\/\/ucfathletics.cstv.com\/brighthouse\/goldzone-parking.html.<\/p>\n
