“Sellouts have become the norm at UCF. Our gameday experience has been widely recognized -- and I believe it is second to no one. Knight Nation has established the atmosphere at FBC Mortgage Stadium as one of the best in the country.
UCF went 7-0 at home last season, the team’s first under head coach Gus Malzahn.
The UCF stadium opened in 2007 and was first known as Bright House Networks Stadium. It became Spectrum Stadium in 2017.
