I kind of wanted to a thread where fans could look back at bowl time to see what other fans' experiences were like, and any helpful hints. Maybe it could be pinned if the responses validate such an honor.

Bowl Game: 2015 Cure Bowl
Hotel: Fairfield Inn & Suites Near Universal Orlando Resort
Rate: Points(15,000)
Tailgate: Lot A - Northside of the stadium. Get a lakefront spot. Also, buy your pass online before hand. They didn't accept cash for spots, and some friends had to drop their stuff off and park across the street.
Stadium: Nice. Renovated recently due to their MLS team. Sight lines were good. Had 50 yd line seats but moved to endzones that GSU were moving towards. NFL prices for concessions.
Swag: Tons of free stuff given away. T-shirt, cup, coozie, and bag given as you entered
Fan Zone: Cool. Plenty to do. Joe Nichols concert was good. Didn't have to leave Lot A to hear it either.
City: I am sure there is plenty to do, but we got in early Saturday
Would you do it again? Definitely. Wouldn't think twice. The tolls around Orlando are annoying, but weather was great. Sunny. Breezy & 72 degrees. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a GSU win.

We made a good showing. So between this and taking a couple thousand plus to Jacksonville for the Tourney I can see us getting invited to Florida in the future. All in all a very nice experience.
