FBC Mortgage Stadium (also known as the Bounce House, formerly known as Bright House Networks Stadium and Spectrum Stadium) is an American football stadium located near Orlando in Orange County, Florida, United States, on the main campus of the University of Central Florida. It is the home field of the UCF Knights of NCAA Division I FBS college football; also it was home of the now defunct Orlando Apollos during the first and only 2019 season of the Alliance of American Football.
The stadium opened in 2007, replacing Camping World Stadium (then known as the Citrus Bowl) in Downtown Orlando as the home of the Knights, where they had played since their inaugural season in 1979.[3] The steel and brick-clad stadium was designed by 360 Architecture and constructed in 18 months. The stadium was designed for 48,000 capacity when it opened in 2007 and is designed for an expansion to 65,000 seats. The stadium underwent an $8 million renovation following the 2014 season. The Wayne Densch Center for Student-Athlete Leadership was built on the east façade of the stadium, and a party deck was added to the east stands.[15][16] Since the renovations, its seating capacity is 44,206.[5][6][7]
The facility has a longtime nickname of The Bounce House, as it was found to be susceptible to considerable shaking when its crowd jumps in unison. Although it was stated that the stadium was structurally sound and that this effect would not cause long-term damage to the facility, measures were undertaken following the stadium's inaugural season to reduce these effects.
On May 31, 2022, FBC Mortgage entered a 10-year, $19.5 million deal with UCF for the naming rights of the stadium beginning July 1, 2022.[17]
