UCF fans find bonus quality to their new stadium
Orlando Sentinel

Jumpy fans worry UCF, but officials call stadium safe
Luis Zaragoza

Sentinel Staff Writer

November 30, 2007

Some frenzied football fans at the University of Central Florida are calling their new stadium "The Trampoline" -- and treating it like one.

Fans have discovered they can make the upper deck bounce by jumping up and down at once.

Their cue to go crazy: the techno-pop dance beat of Zombie Nation's Kernkraft 400.

"It's fun!" sophomore Michelle Martin says of the bouncing sensation that resulted in the trampoline nickname.

School officials say the stadium is structurally safe and ready for a capacity crowd Saturday when UCF takes on the University of Tulsa for the Conference USA championship.

University officials noticed the movement during the stadium's inaugural game in September against the University of Texas, said William Merck, vice president of administration and finance, who oversees campus construction. He said the motion caught them off guard, but that visual and electronic monitoring since the first game has revealed no damage.

Speaking of UCF- How about that Kevin Smith? He has been ridiculous this year!

Who in their right mind would put Mike Hart ahead of a man who rushed for over 2,000 yards as a Doak Walker finalist?

Somebody who says that it is easier for Smith to get his yards in CUSA than it was for Hart to gain his against top flight opposition.

Smith's totals are very impressive, but consider the opposition's abilities on Defense against the run.

No doubt. Creepy.

I hope the engineers have factored fan hysteria into their calculations -- kind of looks like an accident/lawsuit in waiting.

Apparently another Florida miracle...

...metal fatigue doesn't exist.


I now eagerly anticipate the "35 dead, hundreds injured in bleacher collapse" ESPN headline a few years down the road...

I am not normally one to miss sarcasm this blatanly, so forgive me if I did, but that is just a little too morbid to be joking about for my tastes.
