"The University of Central Florida is making history Saturday with its first on-campus football game, but there are still some concerns as the countdown to kickoff nears.Officials said traffic is one of the biggest issues for the university, WESH 2 News reported.WESH 2's Kimberly Williams found what could be a timesaving shortcut for drivers on game day.Officials said fans can expect to see brake lights and major backups Saturday when the UCF football team takes on the Texas Longhorns. More than 40,000 fans are expected to head to the new Bright House Stadium and university officials said they are trying to warn fans and ease the congestion.\"Be patient with us. It's going to take everybody a couple of games to figure out what the best traffic management is, where the best parking is,\" UCF Police Chief Richard Beary said.Police said they have a plan for game day and will be blocking off roads and tackling traffic tie-ups.For Drivers coming in from Research Park, traffic will flow onto campus in one direction from Ingenuity and Science Drive.There's only one way to go on Libra Drive, officials said. Before the game it's in one way and after the game, it's out the other way.\"That's very common with major stadium events, professional sports. They do the same thing. One way in and one way out,\" Beary said.On the north side, Gemini Boulevard will be shut down three hours before the game and will stay closed until two hours after. The same goes for Orion Boulevard for drivers coming in from McCulloch Road.\"We're trying to maximize the use of the major roadways and minimize the use of the secondary roadways,\" Beary said.Most of the recommended routes have drivers accessing the campus from University Boulevard or Alafaya Trail.But there is a shortcut to save drivers some time.Drivers coming from the Greeneway, should take Red Bug Lake Road instead of getting off on the University Boulevard exit, then head east to Alafaya Trail and south to University Boulevard.Officials said that no matter which route is taken, drivers should leave early and be patient."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
