Cheez-It Citrus Bowl Tickets

First off parking is a mess, because they only have a certain amount of lots and they cost $40 I believe. Then there are cheaper options but it is pretty shady with guys saying they are parking for a school fundraiser but then just put you on a random curb. There were a lot of people around tailgating in the same situation so we did that and it was supposed to be $10. Hand the guy a $20 and he says thanks and starts to walk away. When I stopped him he said he didn't have change, he then asked at least 8-9 others guys he was working with and none of them had change for a $20 either. Shocker!!! Then the stadium itself is just ehh. We were really high up and missed most of the 1st despite getting into the stadium 15 minutes prior to kick off. The reason was because 6 ushers gave us wrong directions to our seats and we ended up on the complete opposite side based on what were told, which being that high up took forever to get to. Our seats were bleachers which I am totally okay with Ive spent countless games in the swamp with this type of seating. This place though had us completely on top of each other, no elbow room, and extremely uncomfortable. Again I'm not talking about my but hurting it was how you had to sit based on people being so close. I don't know if I'd ever go back.

Couple things I think they need to work on if you are going to hold events that size. The lines to get in the stadium were long and moving very slowly. There was no crowd control and it took over 30 minutes just to get in to the stadium. Second, the lines at the concession stands were outrageous! The workers were very slow and it took an average of 25 minutes to get a drink. We missed the whole second quarter of the game waiting in line. Everyone surrounding us in our seats had the same complaint. Maybe try having more vendors walk up and down the stadium selling items to ease the long lines at the concession. Other than that, I thought the stadium was great, the ease of the buses transporting people to the stadium was fine. I would like to attend another game there, but if the concession issue isn't fixed I think we will just watch from home.

I'll stick to my review of the stadium since the game was a complete blowout after the first quarter. Our "seats" were in the upper section, but they aren't seats, they are numbered spots on an aluminum bench. Food choices in this section are limited to hot dogs, corn dogs, bbq sandwiches, and cheesesteaks. No hamburgers offered oddly. The parking situation is pretty poor as well. Best, most convenient parking tends to be in somebody's yard adjacent to the stadium.

Stadium facilities are fine. Staffing of event was poor. Stadium was sold out, yet each concession stand only had 2/6 registers open which resulted in huge lines throughout the game. Which meant, if you wanted that FIVE dollar bottle of water and snacks, you were going to miss a good portion of the game. Not many drink sellers in stands either and they didn't have enough water (only beer). Then there is the location of the stadium...in the middle of the industrial hood...bums, panhandlers and generally trashy were all part of the bowl experience here in Orlando. Sorry, but after attending many other bowls, this was the worst one I've been to. Won't be going back anytime soon. Fail.

We enjoyed our experience at the Citrus Bowl. We parked at AmWay and rode the shuttle to and from the stadium. The pregame event was nice with plenty of things to do and eat. We had the opportunity to see the Gators and the Band. The stadium staff was friendly and helpful. I only gave 4 stars because paying $5 for a bottle of water is robbery. We would definitely return for future events.

Loved that my team was in a Florida Bowl. I go to Naples every year during the holidays. I found the stadium to be a good venue and of course my team won big time! Left happy but there were a couple of problems. I wanted to buy a Michigan Jersey and was willing to pay $175 for it. Nothing like this was available so I just purchased a t-shirt to show my pride. I also did not bring anything down that would of been confortable for the hot weather. Getting food and drink inside the stadium was impossible. The lines were too long and wanted to watch the game. The beer vendors came around once. That's all that I was able to get in the 3 hrs. I purchased a bud light which i dont like to keep from dehydration.

Great crowd. Wonderful place to watch football game. Gators got an ol fashion whupping

Had a great time on a beautiful day for football. Though we lost, it was a fun afternoon. I only live a few miles from the stadium, so we took Uber - timed perfectly to avoid the surge and only paid about 5 bucks each way. The new Citrus Bowl improvements are nice. We sat in the 205, row K - and had a great view of the game. A few complaints: The PA system is horrible. Good luck trying to hear the refs calls. They are muffled and you can barely make them out. The acoustics aren't that great for hearing the marching bands play either. The stadium has a RIDICULOUS policy on caps for bottled drinks. Beware that if when you buy bottled drinks (soda, water, gatorade, etc.) they DO NOT allow you to keep the cap. Their lame rationale is that some fans throw them?? It makes it hard to carry bottles if you are buying drinks for multiple people, and if your drink falls over, well too bad... Kind of defeats the purpose of buying a beverage with a cap. Overall good experience and the renovations are nice.

My son and i had an unforgettable day in Orlando. This was our first bowl game and i must say that Buffalo Wild Wings did everything first class and the fact that Michigan won made it even better. Thanks for making New Years Day so special!

The Citrus Bowl in Orlando Florida puts on a great show. Even though the University of Florida lost the football game experience was great. All the Michigan fans were really nice and the comraderie was excellent. If you ever have a chance to see an event at this facility I would highly recommend it

Everything was great except how the Gators played!

Over all it was ok. The seats were good and comfortable , other than having 3 sets of people showing up with the same tickets for the seats directly in front of us . That added a smal amount of entertainment and blocked the view from time to time . My question was how they were all granted admission ? . The food left a little to be desired and for the price could have been better .

AWESOME GAME!! Glad to see my team stomp the Gators on their turf. Venue had super long lines for food, but I waited awhile and they shortened.

The Good: The facilities were excellent! Stadium has an apparently fresh makeover and adjacent parking areas were clean and secure. The Bad: Lines for everything were incredibly long and slow - from traffic flow to gate entry to concessions things need to operate more smoothly and efficiently. Street signage to get to correct parking areas needs to be seriously addressed, as this caused severe traffic delays along all side streets. I missed more of this game than any other just waiting in very slow lines, which is inexcusable! The Ugly: I know good temporary employees are hard to find, but most of the group operating the stadium and parking were unmotivated, unknowledgeable, lacking in simple manners and often didn't even speak sufficient English!

Purchased tickets for my first bowl game. Process was simple, tickets were ready as stated and available for print out. Was also able to add them to my Apple Wallet and both paper and digital options were available at the gate. Great venue, all in all an incredible time!

The game was a great match-up but the stadium seemed clueless on how to handle a sell-out crowd. I left late in the second quarter to get a hotdog and coke so I would miss the halftime rush. The vendors seemed to be unaware that they had a sellout crowd and were definitely unprepared. They ran out of food and cold drinks, the service was the slowest I have ever seen at an event like this. I missed the entire halftime show and a field goal and almost missed a touchdown waiting on a hotdog and a warm drink. The vendors were by far the worst I have ever seen at a bowl game. BTW if they had had hawkers in the stands selling I would have bought from them but the only ones I saw were only selling beer.

The team I support Michigan won big! There was not mush not to like about the experience as far as the game went. The Citrus Bowl Stadium though was poorly set up to serve food and drink to the customers. The lines were very long and those wishing to get a snack or drink missed significant parts of the game while awaiting service in the concourses. The restrooms I visited were also poorly designed and the lines were long. They should be modified to "flow through" restrooms instead of sharing the same door. I can understand a mark-up on food and drink, but $11 for a can of beer! I might have had one at $5, but not at $11. As far as profit, I am certain you would make more money by having a better delivery system and more reasonable Stadium pricing. You would sell more and have much better customer satisfaction.

excellent event, great organisation, seats were very high up but still had a great view.

Didn't bother with pre-paid parking and you shouldn't either. One hour before kickoff and there were plenty of unofficial parking spots north of the stadium on and off Washington Street. Prices were $10-$20. A short walk lead us to Lorna Dune Park where venders and fans mixed it up and we stopped for a quick hot dog and fries. Then it was across the street, through security, and to our seats. Sold out, 63,000 for UM v Florida. A great crowd and atmosphere throughout the game. It was a mild 84° and very pleasant. Staff was friendly and the game was awesome. Post game exit was a breeze. I would come back for another NCAA bowl game.

Sat in the upper bowl but had a great view of the field and Orlando skyline. Besides the one dbag Gator fan upset his team got destroyed it was a great atmosphere with good people.
