ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Fans have been flocking to the UCF Arena this season to see the UCF men's basketball team in action, and there is plenty of excitement surrounding the team's upcoming three games. The Knights return to action Saturday, hosting UAB at 7 p.m.
The first 2,500 fans to enter the arena will receive a free UCF UKnight pennant courtesy of game sponsor Blue Cross Blue Shield.
After facing the Blazers, UCF's next home contest is Wednesday, Feb. 9, against Memphis at 7 p.m. Only 1,000 tickets remain for purchase for the contest, so UCF fans are encouraged to order their tickets today.
The Knights host Tulsa on Saturday, Feb. 12, and the contest will serve as Youth Sports Night at the UCF Arena. Participants in Orlando-area youth sports leagues can receive discounted admission to the game. Any youth sports league coaches who are interested in having their teams participate should contact Torey Brewer in the UCF athletics ticket office at (407) 823-4542 or tbrewer@athletics.ucf.edu.
Tickets for UCF home games are available at Ticketmaster.com or by visiting UCFAthletics.com. UCF students are admitted free with a valid school ID. Five of the top-10 crowds in UCF history have been recorded this year as the Knights rank third in Conference USA in average attendance at 6,535. UCF (14-5, 1-5 C-USA) is 10-2 at home in 2010-11.
With an increase in fans attending basketball games, UCF Athletics would like to remind its patrons on the following parking notes for when they come to the UCF Arena to watch the Knights play.
? UCF basketball patrons can now go on-line at UCFAthletics.com and pre-purchase a parking pass for quicker entry into parking facilities.
? The parking procedure will be to utilize Garage D first, then park cars in the adjacent Surface Lot D, Lot C and Garage C. If those lots get full, parking will be redirected to Bright House Networks Stadium parking lots E6 and E7.
? Golden Knights Club Donor parking is still located in Garage F. If Garage F reaches capacity, the baseball outfield parking lot will open and serve as overflow donor parking.
