The CFE Federal Credit Union Arena (CFE Arena) (formerly known as the UCF Arena) is a sports and entertainment arena located in Orlando, Florida, United States on the main campus of the University of Central Florida. It was constructed beginning in 2006 as a replacement for the original UCF arena, and as a part of Knights Plaza. The arena is home to the Knights men's and women's basketball teams. In 2010, the Legends Football League team Orlando Fantasy played at the arena. The Arena also hosted the annual Science Olympiad in 2012 and 2014. For the 2014 season only, it served as the home of the Orlando Predators of the Arena Football League.
The arena is 325,000 square feet (30,000 m2), and boasts a capacity of over 10,000, and 17 luxury suites. The theater can be configured for concerts, family events, musical theatre, commencements, and other stage shows and sporting events. The CFE Arena is owned by the university, and is managed by Global Spectrum, a subsidiary of Philadelphia-based Comcast Spectacor.
