In the southern states, college football is like a religion, and central Florida is no exception. Of course, Florida teams – the University of Florida Gators, Florida State University Seminoles and the University of Miami Hurricanes – are local favorites, but where are you to watch the game in Orlando if you’re an Auburn, Georgia or Alabama fan? What about if your alma mater is farther away, say Ohio State or Penn State? Have no fear; Orlando has plenty of college-specific bars to help you get through the big game. When you want to be surrounded by hundreds of similarly minded fans either celebrating or lamenting over the action on TV, you can find a bar that honors your college.
Orlando college football fans, take note: Many university alumni clubs in Orlando share the same bars during football season, so keep that in mind if you have an intense rivalry with a particular school. However, since these bars have been hosting football game events for years, more than likely, you’ll have no problems while you watch the game.
