Let the games begin.

University of South Florida students get an early screening of the Season 5 premiere of HBO's wildly popular Game of Thrones on Tuesday. It's worth noting that there are only 700 seats in the Marshall Student Center's Oval Theater. USF has an enrollment of nearly 48,000 students.

The show gets going at 8 p.m. and doors open at 6:30 p.m., but we anticipate folks will be getting there much earlier than that.

As a consolation if you're not a student or just can't fight your way in, the festivities also include a costume contest, photo booth, live foam fight and prizes. And then you'll just have to wait until April 12 for the first episode of the new season to air on HBO. USF is at 4202 E Fowler Ave., Tampa.
