re: Those that have been to the Citrus...

LSU has a huge Alumni group led by Paul West. They had a lot of pre-game parties last time we played in the Citrus bowl. Here is their website. They also have a Facebook page

We had a lot of fun at the Citrus bowl last time. It is a decent stadium and we made it a vacation and went to Universal before the game. I would highly advise that if you do that, wait until after the game. The parks were super crowded the week before. Everyone goes home the week after and the parks are not as crowded.

Any recommendations on best mode of transportation between Disney and Camping World to maximize time back at Disney parks?

I had a rental car so I drove, it was easy interstate travel from the Disney area to Camping World. We left our hotel about 3 hours before game time to help beat the traffic. Uber to the game should be ok, but I always worry about Uber after large crowd events especially since you may have to walk a distance away from the stadium to catch an Uber ride due to the traffice flow.

We went to the Louisville game and the horrible NotreDame game. It's a small stadium almost in the middle of a neighborhood. I guess it's close to the Hood. But I never felt in danger. We stayed about 1 mile away and literally walked to the game both times. It's not a rich neighborhood, but not the hood at all.

From what I saw... there wasn't a whole lot of parking, but then again I didn't see the other side of the stadium.

Still debating going but will probably end up going. FWIW I absolutely HATE downtown Orlando. It looks like a bomb went off with all the multi year construction going on. And then on top of it... about every shop is closed for business due to probably not being able to endure no customers due to the construction. It's like a hellscape.

The stadium is in the middle of nowhere. I remember looking for sports bars, etc. and there is nothing nearby. Literally tailgate at your car or enter stadium.

There; cold, wet, miserable on a cow field and is nothing around that stadium but residence and industrial type stuff. Horrible ending to Penn State game as recall they sat on the ball and we could not get a play off and a no call? Was Miles/Crowton offense
There was a nice bar near the central bus barn which was kinda strange!
But no worries will be there on the 2nd;

I’ve been once and it was horrible. Will never go back

Went for the Notre Dame game and the weather was wet and cold. May short advice, is just enjoy the normal Orlando activities such as theme parks and don't worry about staying close to stadium or trying to do any pre-post game activities near the stadium. Also had same experience of people taking money to park us in lots, land and driveways they did not have authority to use. Hope the Tigers have better luck there with Purdue.

You are right, was there too with another couple. Our women went back to the hotel in the 2nd Quarter. Stayed, but it was definitely the worst conditions I ever experienced in a college football game anywhere.
