UCF is in the process of an engineering study to see if it can build an open-air “tiki bar” on the east side of Bright House Network Stadium, athletic director Todd Stansbury confirmed.

"The idea is to create an open air club that has kind of sports bar feel to it, and really emphasize the fact that we’re in Florida,” Stansbury said. “The idea actually came from when we were in the process at Oregon State in expanding our stadium, one thing focused on is in premium seat areas was making the club and the loge and the suites really kind of take on the northwest feel, so when you were in those areas you knew you were somewhere in the northwest and taking on that personality."

From the Orlando Business Journal Article: "A $1.4 million open-air club tweak to Bright House Networks Stadium, which would include a tiki bar with a Margaritaville-feel, serving alcohol and food. If funding is found, construction would start next January and finish by August 2014. The reason for the tiki bar? Stansbury said when UCF is on TV, he wants the people in Chicago and New Jersey to see “palm trees and flip-flops.”"

Many of the spring training teams down here have out tiki bars in the outfield and it been a great draw

The AA baseball team here in Pensacola has four separate Party Deck options. In a stadium that hold 5K.

I don't think a Tiki Bar gives the true flavor of Ct. though. Can't think of a "theme" that would give viewers a feel for the stadium representing Ct. Maybe they could suspend some vintage airplanes over the top that provides some relief from the sun or the elements.

Good point. Perhaps a dog house looking place in the end zone ?

A party deck complete with tax collectors and insurance salesmen.

The ultimate football experience. A swim up bar with many young female co-eds in barely there bikinis sipping frozen drinks with umbrellas and shooters of 151 run.

Unfortunately it will be filled with overweight dudes in horrible surfer shorts and man sweaters swilling Natty Lights.

That Tiki Bar will be awesome for Memphis in Dec.

The difference is they want to put a bar in a stadium. We need to convert our outdoor bar to a stadium.
