ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Starting this fall, UCF fans will have less time to drink during tailgates before football games. The change was made after UCF administrators reviewed operations of the school's first season of tailgating.

UCF officials say come kick-off time fans will need to be in the stadium and not out in the parking lot drinking. So UCF is banning open containers on campus after kick-off. And if you break the rule, you could be arrested.

For college students it's the time of their lives; tailgating, eating and drinking beer with friends before the big game. But UCF administrators say once the game starts, the drinking must stop.

"I think that's a good idea. A lot of drinking around, a lot of hard-core partying and drunk driving and stuff on games days. I'm scare to be on road on game days," said Morgan Ownes, a UCF student.

There are exceptions. If you're buying beer at one of UCF's two restaurants then the beer keeps flowing after kick-off.

"Definitely a double standard," Owens said. "If you can't do it at UCF but you can do it at UCF it doesn't make sense to me because it's still on campus."

"I don't think it's a double standard at all. There always has been ability for campus restaurants to not change their mode of operation on game day," said Al Harms, a UCF administrator.

Harms said the change is so fans will focus on what game day is really about: cheering on the knights to another record-breaking season. And student leaders agreed.

"This was championed and led by leadership of Student Government Association. SGA was one of the largest and most vocal champions of this. The alumni association strongly supported it, also," Harms added.

But not all students were happy.

"If you have to go on campus to drink, I think that's bull because it's kind of expensive," said student Mike Deida.

On the way to Brighthouse Stadium is UCF's newest bar and grill called Tailgaters. It should be open by the fall semester. According to students and alumni, it will be packed with people who want to keep partying after kick-off.
