ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Before the Knights host East Carolina for a Conference USA Sunday night showdown, fans will have plenty of fun activities to participate in outside of Bright House Networks Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. and tickets for the game are still available.

Fans are urged to wear white to the game and White Out The Bright House. With the White Out The Bright House 2-for-1 offer presented by Value Pawn & Jewelry, fans can purchase one ticket at regular price and receive a second ticket free.

The special ticket offer is available through Ticketmaster at 407-839-3900 and TicketMaster.com.

Fans attending the game are encouraged to arrive early to not only enjoy the promotions, but to avoid lines entering the stadium. One way to avoid the lines is by utilizing the new E-PASS Fast Gate 14. The innovative partnership brings the expertise of the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority together with UCF to help alleviate a common problem at college football games - getting fans through the gates. At gate 14, representatives from the expressway authority will be handing out a limited number of complimentary E-PASS transponders.

Fan Faire, located at IOA Plaza outside the stadium, will feature:
• The Buffalo Wild Wings pregame radio show, which broadcasts live on the UCF ISP Sports Network, starting at 6 p.m.
• Live entertainment from the Howl at the Moon Saloon
• Coozies and prizes from game sponsor Value Pawn & Jewlery
• Pizza samples and gift certificates from Domino's Pizza
• The chance to win a new car courtesy of Holler-Classic
• Representatives from Centex Homes offering the chance to win a VIP party and tickets to UCF's homecoming contest with Southern Miss
• Special subscription offers from the Orlando Sentinel
• The opportunity to win gym memberships from Lifestyle Family Fitness
• Interactive games and prizes from the NASCAR Street Tour
• Games and prizes from the Orlando Magic
• Free gift certificates from Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill
• Representatives from McDonald's distributing free gift certificates
• Bright House Networks offering free gas and the chance to win a high-definition television
• Premium cupcake gift certificates from Sweet! in Waterford Lakes


Several promotional activities are planned for the concourse areas of the stadium. Representatives from Fifth Third Bank will be offering free coozies and keychains. Progress Energy will be providing paper fans.
