“Every stadium has a signature concession item,” explained Jimmy Skiles, UCF’s associate athletic director for brand advancement.

The school is hoping the Citronaut drink — a concoction of Fanta orange soda with a vanilla ice cream bar — will become the Knights’ signature treat at Spectrum Stadium.
