In only the second time a sitting president has visited UCF, President Barack Obama spoke at the university on Friday and urged supporters to get out the vote for Democrats and Hillary Clinton in November.

Obama stepped up to the podium at CFE Arena right at 6 p.m.

"I've got one more campaign left in me. Michelle and I have more to do," Obama said, encouraging the crowd to vote for Clinton.

"I've seen the heart and soul of the American people, and it is good and strong and resilient."

Obama also encouraged the room filled with millennials to vote Democrat, down-ballot, too.

“You know who's also a hard worker? Patrick Murphy,” said Obama, pointing to the U.S. Congressman in the crowd. Murphy is running against Marco Rubio for his Senate seat, in a contest which could tip the balance of power in Congress.

Obama finished speaking at about 6:41 p.m.

Doors opened at 3 p.m. at the arena, which holds 10,000 people.

Just after 4:30 p.m., UCF Police said on Twitter that the arena was near capacity, and "there will not be room inside for everyone in line." After the arena filled to capacity, many others were left outside to watch Obama's speech on screens.

Former UCF student Anthony Kees was the first person in line this morning, arriving before the sun came up. He said he wanted to make sure he didn't miss another chance to see Obama.

"I'm a huge fan of Barack Obama. I actually tried to see him before he was president back in 2008, but I showed up a little bit late," Kees said. "I think 40,000 people showed up to see him. I was really late, so I wanted to get here early and not miss my chance this time around."

The line eventually stretched around the block. The lucky ones, such as Sarah Wolfe, got a blue ticket, which meant they would sit near the stage.

“I’m 72 years old. And I don’t know if I’ll get another chance to be this close to a president. I didn’t know I had a bucket list, but this was on it,” said Sarah Wolfe, a Clinton campaign volunteer.

“I can’t wait to see Barack Obama,” said Sumaytah Haque, standing with her grandfather. “I came to see Barack Obama and get his autograph, if I can.”

Tipping her red, white and blue shades, the 9-year-old said she came decked out in an ‘America theme.’

“‘I’m wearing an American flag outfit and a bracelet, because the President’s coming,” she said. “Since I’m not allowed to vote, I just support them.”

The first sitting president to visit the University of Central Florida was Richard Nixon, who paid a visit in 1973 for a commencement speech.
