About

University of Central Florida Knights at Spectrum Stadium

Located just northeast of downtown Orlando, Spectrum Stadium has been the Knights' home since 2007, when it took over from what was then called the Citrus Bowl. It quickly earned the nicknames "The Bounce House" and "The Trampoline," thanks to vibrations produced in the stadium whenever fans jumped in unison. While officials said the structure was sound, UCF moved quickly to take the bounce out of the stadium, spending $400,000 to add steel to the beams and girders. 

UCF isn't old enough to have any hoary old traditions, but that doesn't mean there's no pageantry to the proceedings. Come out a couple hours before kickoff and greet the players during their Knight Walk from IOA Plaza. Ninety minutes before kickoff, you can join the marching band and the spirit team near Knights Plaza for the fan march to the stadium. And when "Zombie Nation" comes on the speakers at the game, be sure to bounce.

University of Central Florida Knights History

Varsity football didn't come to UCF until 1979, when the Knights joined the NCAA's Division III. In 1996, UCF ascended to the NCAA's top division, becoming the first to play at all levels of college football. In short order, the Black and Gold became an unlikely national contender. In 2004, under new coach George O'Leary, UCF went 0-11. Over his next 10 seasons in Orlando, the team went to seven bowl games. These included a 52-42 Fiesta Bowl victory over Baylor, capping a 2013 season in which the Knights went 12-1 and undefeated in conference play.

In 2017, under coach Scott Frost, the Knights swept the regular season, won their conference championship game over Memphis in double overtime, and beat No. 7 Auburn in the Peach Bowl, 34-27 — the first undefeated season in school history. Locked out of the College Football Playoff, athletic director Danny White simply proclaimed UCF the national champion. The program went so far as to hang a national championship banner and hold a victory parade. This caused a good bit of controversy within college football, which had hoped its playoff system would resolve such disputes. The following year, the Knights proved they weren't flukes, going 12-1, their only loss coming against LSU in the Fiesta Bowl. That game ended UCF's 25-game winning streak.

    Great game! Wished Tigers would have won. Only issue with this stadium is the parking. No paid parking. Had to park in a residential area. Other than that the stadium and event was great!

    Needs improvement

    by Gatorgeek on 12/5/17Spectrum Stadium - Orlando

    Stadium seats were roomy and there were plenty of stalls in the women's room. What really needs to be addressed is the extremely long lines at the concession stands. Why not have more kiosks that sell water only? The best would be to have venders that you can buy from in the stands. That would help to relieve the long lines. The only one we saw was selling cotton candy. Not really going to help with the hydration.

    UCF vs USF War on I-4

    by JacquesJames on 11/27/17Spectrum Stadium - Orlando

    Game was outstanding. However, issues had to do with how the stadium was being managed, or not managed. 1. Couldn't gain access to parking within what I'd consider a reasonable distance. Had to park 1.2 miles away. If you have a stadium that holds 45,000 people, then you need to have parking to accommodate them. And signs with instructions on where to park without passes etc. Each lot I tried to access was only for passes. How is a person who's not been there before know where to park? 2. Gate access to enter was horrible at the gate I entered. People with broken scanners and not a care in the world to get ones that worked. Nobody shifted from other gates that weren't busy. Couldn't get to seat until halfway through first period. And I was there before kickoff. 3. Lines for most food and beverage was outrageous. Totally unacceptable that you'd leave before halftime and not be able to get back to seat until midway through third quarter. Great game, but other issues need so much improvement.

    BEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME EVER!!!

    by Kirstenisme03 on 11/27/17Spectrum Stadium - Orlando

    Hands down the most exciting, suspenseful, fun college football game I have ever attended! UCF/USF matchup always ends up being a great rivalry game, but this was the best one yet! Both teams did very well & kept us on the edge of our seats from beginning to end. Kudos on both sides, but SO proud of my UCF KNIGHTS!!!

    THE GAME OF GAMES!!

    by Anonymous on 11/27/17Spectrum Stadium - Orlando

    This was the most exciting game I have ever seen in person and maybe in any other way. As a alumni I am sooooooooooo! Proud of our efforts and direction of the team and the Coach and staff. With the school our size and recruiting field there is no reason we should not be at the top competition wise and all other ways. Thank you Coach Frost and Team for the the best season ever. P.S. The continuous Hip Hop and Rap Noise before the game is not needed. The words are vulger and volume is way beyond loud. Do not ruin the total experience. Thanks.

    Best UCF-USF Rivalry Game

    by UCFleet on 11/27/17Spectrum Stadium - Orlando

    This was the best game I've seen for the War on I-4 (UCF-USF rivalry game). The facilities were great. The campus was clean and felt safe. No complaints. Only comment would be that I wish the stadium club offered a better beer selection.

    The game was amazing@!

    by Da1Spoon on 11/27/17Spectrum Stadium - Orlando

    The venue itself needs a lot of help. Our seats weren't actually there. We had purchase seats that were in the ADA section. We were unaware of that. When were arrived only 2 of the 4 seats were actually seats. There was no nearby ushers or event staff to call upon. It took us about one full quarter to find someone and then another full quarter to have a rusty seat brought to us. It was a disgrace. A new stadium like that with an outstanding events department and educational program should never let this happen. I was personally okay with not having a seat, but my (out-of-town) guests were not a pleased. Since their team (USF) lost, they really would have like to sit down and not take part in UCF's celebrations.

    Game was amazing.

    by UCFband on 10/11/17Spectrum Stadium - Orlando

    We had a great time. The only thing that I was not happy about is having to split up the family. My mother had to use the elevator and they will not allow the other members to get to their seats in section 208 unless they went all around the stadium. Section 208 is next to club seating but the the area was all blocked. Please come up with a better plan. I purchased tickets at a higher price to avoid my mother having to walk to much.

    Great Game Day Experience

    by knightjcb on 10/3/17Spectrum Stadium - Orlando

    The game itself was a great experience. Of course being a UCF fan doesn't hurt when we play that well against our competition. Aside from that, the school has done a great job with upgrades over the past few years - really love the new scoreboard, ribbon board, and sound system! The other events prior to the game were great (Splash Dogs and Concert). Keep up the good work!

    VIP dining area has room for improvement

    by KGNIGHT on 4/25/17Spectrum Stadium - Orlando

    Overall I was very satisfied with the overall experience. I have to mention though that this is not the first time I was disappointed with the dining area experience. My small group of three arrived early and enjoyed the food trucks before attending the baseball game. We had 3 tickets for the VIP area and figured we would relax there and enjoy the music before the football game. It seems while we were supporting UCF baseball from 1-4:00, others blew off the baseball game and camped out from 2:30 - 5:30 at the VIP area. By the time we arrived there was nowhere to sit and not even a high top available to stand and eat. Of course those who camped out had long since ate their fill, drank more than than share, and where now in a state of stupor in their chairs. This is not the first time in our 13 years of attending these functions that we have been left out in the cold so to speak. In my view there should be a chair at a table accounted for for every ticket sold. And what's the deal with people passing food over the fence to their friends?????

    It was hot

    by Marlon407 on 11/15/16Bright House Networks Stadium - Orlando

    Watching the live football was amazing there is no alcohol though, and very little shade in the stadium. It was very uncomfortable which led me to leave in the third quarter.
