Gridiron Classic

Hope this might be on the right board.
Will be visiting from UK in January and have tickets for the Gridiron Classic college football game. Wow, am I excited!! Only seen NFL on TV here in UK.
Can anyone answer a couple of questions?
If game starts 2pm when will pre-game entertainment start ( don't want to miss a second of it!)
Roughly how long will it last? Hoped might do Spectro + fireeworks at MK that evening.
Is it easy to drive from Kissimmee to the stadium?
Am picking tickets up from WillCall. Can I get these prior to the day of the game?
Anything else that will help get me excited as I look forward to it?
Thanks

Col

Hi Colin!! You got the right place and welcome to the CB!!

The Gridiron Classic is a College All-star game. . . you'll see some of the best collge players in the country; most of them future pros. .

It's played at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. . that's about a 15-20 mile drive from Walt Disney World- about a 45 minute drive depending on traffic, and a game like that will last between 2 and 2 1/2 hours, so you should have plenty of time to make it back to the MK for the fireworks/parade. .


I'd say you'd want to be there about an hour and 1/2 before kick-off. . they'll probably have a marching band playing or something, and that'll give you plenty of time to park, find your seat, grab a beer, etc.

Here's a website with some more info. . Gridiron Classic Website .

Hope this helps and have a great time!!
