Those that have been to the Citrus...

I'd actually highly advise not going. I went when we played Louisville in 2016. There's a few fields around the stadium where you can tailgate. The stadium itself is boring

I went for the Penn State game and it was miserable. It was a cold and rainy day in Orlando and the terrible field conditions zapped LSU’s speed advantage. I think I left before halftime.

My son and I attended the PSU game where the on-field grass seemed like sphagnum moss. It rained right before the game and ended at around kickoff time. We were soaked but the sun came out during the game. We had parked in a lot several blocks from the stadium--in a church parking lot. We learned to be careful about people charging for parking in the lots, because some charging didn't even own the lots (they sort of commandeered them), and they were not watched during the game--hence, we heard of a few cars being vandalized (not ours). Be very careful where you park! The area seemed secure, but there were lots of people everywhere. We didn't see much tailgating but there were a few on the western side of the stadium. I haven't been to the stadium since, though--things may be different..

I lived in the area for three years went to the Louisville game in "16" stadium is near the getto part of O Town not much happening. I would hit Church St. Or Celebration area before or after.

Went in '09. As others noted it was miserable weather. To add insult to injury, an osprey pooped on me - picked me out of 50K targets including Les and JoePa.

My rec would be to forego the theme parks and go east to see a rocket launch (if happening) or relax at Sebastian Inlet or go west to Pass-a-Grille Beach. All are readily accessible from Orlando.

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.

Went to the ND shite show! Was cold and rainy. Ended miserably!! Hung with a few tigers in the parking lots, but wasn't a great venue. I would still go if I could just to support the P&G

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