Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5272967, member: 4613"] It seems to me it would follow that more and more Florida residents would follow schools like UCF and USF more so than the old guard UF and FSU. What I found out earlier while looking up USF is that the campus was built over an old airfield, Hillsborough Army Air Field. Plus you got Bush Gardens. Going to school in Florida is like going to Disney. Literally. "The [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_South_Florida']University of South Florida[/URL] campus began construction in 1957 on a site adjacent to the north side of Henderson Airport, and the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busch_Gardens']Busch Gardens[/URL] theme park was opened in 1959 just south of the airport. The surviving runways are used as a driver training area by Busch Gardens to instruct new drivers on some of their vehicles. [/QUOTE]
