UCF Knights (NCAA) (2007–present)
Bright House Networks Stadium, also known as "The Bounce House", is an American football stadium located in Orlando, Florida, United States, on the main campus of The University of Central Florida (UCF). It is the home venue for the UCF Knights football team. The stadium was the first on-campus stadium in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I FBS to open in the 21st century, and was the second newest BCS stadium in the country.
The stadium opened in 2007 as a replacement for the Citrus Bowl in Downtown Orlando, where the Knights had played since 1979, and has a seating capacity of 44,206. The steel and brick-clad stadium was designed by 360 Architecture and constructed in 18 months. The stadium underwent an $8 million renovation following the 2014 season. The Wayne Densch Center for Student-Athlete Leadership was built on the east facade of the stadium, and a party deck was added to the east stands. Following the renovations, seating capacity is 44,206. The attendance record as of 2014[update] was 48,453, for an October 18, 2009 match-up against the Miami Hurricanes. It is sometimes known as "The Bounce House" because the stadium visibly shakes when students jump during Zombie Nation's "Kernkraft 400".
