Located about 15 miles (24 km) from UCF's main campus, the stadium originally opened in 1936. The stadium's first college football game was played in <a href="/wiki/1947_Tangerine_Bowl" title="1947 Tangerine Bowl">January 1947</a> between <a href="/wiki/Catawba_College" title="Catawba College">Catawba</a> and <a href="/wiki/Maryville_Scots_football" title="Maryville Scots football">Maryville</a>.<a href="#cite_note-gametime-29">[26]</a> UCF played its first football game at the Citrus Bowl in September 1979, a 7–6 victory over <a href="/wiki/Fort_Benning" class="mw-redirect" title="Fort Benning">Fort Benning</a>. The facility was the home of the <a href="/wiki/Citrus_Bowl" title="Citrus Bowl">Citrus Bowl</a>, and numerous neutral site games. By 2004, Orlando city officials and UCF's administration expressed dissatisfaction with the state of the aging facility. While UCF was the primary leasing tenant of the Citrus Bowl for 25 years, they received little revenue from football games, and the stadium's capacity (65,000) was considered too large for the Knights. With an average attendance of 20,000–30,000 spectators per game, the stadium was left with a mostly empty appearance. The Knights' record home attendance of 51,987 (set at the <a href="/wiki/2005_Conference_USA_Football_Championship_Game" title="2005 Conference USA Football Championship Game">2005 C-USA Championship</a>) was still far short of capacity. The location off campus was considered a significant factor in the inability to sustain a sizeable <a href="/wiki/Student_section" title="Student section">student section</a>, while the stadium's upper decks were rarely occupied for UCF games. When the university approached the city about possible renovations and new revenue-sharing measures for the stadium, they were met with resistance. The city generally wanted UCF to stay, but expected them to help pay for the upgrades to the facility.<a href="#cite_note-Sent04-28-2004pgD1-242">[239]</a><a href="#cite_note-Sent04-28-2004pgD5-243">[240]</a> At one point during the negotiations, stadium officials told then UCF Athletic Director Steve Orsini that "the value of UCF's fans was nothing".<a href="#cite_note-244">[241]</a> Though the city had expressed interest in renovating the Citrus Bowl with or without UCF's support, funding was seriously in doubt. The city was in the planning stages for a <a href="/wiki/Amway_Center" class="mw-redirect" title="Amway Center">new arena</a>, new <a href="/wiki/Dr._Phillips_Center_for_the_Performing_Arts" title="Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts">performing arts center</a>, and "creative village", with stadium renovations seemingly taking less and less priority.<a href="#cite_note-Sent01-09-2005pgA1-245">[242]</a><a href="#cite_note-Sent01-09-2005pgA15-246">[243]</a> The Knights compiled an overall record of 112–60–1 at the Citrus Bowl, which includes <a href="/wiki/1987_NCAA_Division_II_football_season#Postseason" title="1987 NCAA Division II football season">Division II playoff games</a> in 1987, a <a href="/wiki/1990_NCAA_Division_I-AA_football_season#Postseason" title="1990 NCAA Division I-AA football season">Division I-AA playoff game</a> in 1990, the <a href="/wiki/2005_Conference_USA_Football_Championship_Game" title="2005 Conference USA Football Championship Game">2005 C-USA Championship Game</a> and the <a href="/wiki/2016_Cure_Bowl" title="2016 Cure Bowl">2016 Cure Bowl</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="FBC_Mortgage_Stadium_(2007–present)">FBC Mortgage Stadium (2007–present)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=UCF_Knights_football&action=edit&section=38" title="Edit section: FBC Mortgage Stadium (2007–present)">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bright_House_exterior_on_opening_day.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Bright_House_exterior_on_opening_day.jpg/200px-Bright_House_exterior_on_opening_day.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="150" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Bright_House_exterior_on_opening_day.jpg/300px-Bright_House_exterior_on_opening_day.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Bright_House_exterior_on_opening_day.jpg/400px-Bright_House_exterior_on_opening_day.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1280" data-file-height="960" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/FBC_Mortgage_Stadium" title="FBC Mortgage Stadium">FBC Mortgage Stadium</a>, the Knights home field since 2007.</figcaption></figure> In early 2005, as a response to the deteriorating condition of the Citrus Bowl, and lack of revenue derived from the games there, UCF formally proposed building an on-campus stadium. Additional motivations included drawing more students to the games, a more intimate setting, and establishing <a href="/wiki/Collegiate_sport_ritual_in_the_United_States" title="Collegiate sport ritual in the United States">game-day traditions</a> on campus. In December 2005, the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Central_Florida_Board_of_Trustees" title="University of Central Florida Board of Trustees">UCF Board of Trustees</a> approved the construction of a new on-campus stadium.<a href="#cite_note-247">[244]</a> The new stadium, at the time named <a href="/wiki/FBC_Mortgage_Stadium" title="FBC Mortgage Stadium">Bright House Networks Stadium</a>, was originally planned to open in time for the <a href="/wiki/2006_NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_season" title="2006 NCAA Division I FBS football season">2006 football season</a>, but neighborhood opposition delayed the time frame by a year. Stadium construction began in 2006 and was finished in time for the 2007 season. The first home-game took place on September 15, 2007, as the Knights nearly upset the No. 6-ranked <a href="/wiki/2007_Texas_Longhorns_football_team" title="2007 Texas Longhorns football team">Texas Longhorns</a>. The current <a href="/wiki/Seating_capacity" title="Seating capacity">seating capacity</a> of the stadium is 44,206,<a href="#cite_note-Sent09-18-2016pgC6-248">[245]</a> and plans provide for a future expansion to 65,000 seats. Although the Knights lost their first on-campus home game, they finished the remainder of the stadium's inaugural season undefeated. UCF has hosted the <a href="/wiki/Conference_USA_Football_Championship_Game" title="Conference USA Football Championship Game">C-USA Championship Game</a> twice, and the <a href="/wiki/American_Athletic_Conference_Football_Championship_Game" title="American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game">AAC Championship Game</a> twice. Following the <a href="/wiki/2014_UCF_Knights_football_team" title="2014 UCF Knights football team">2014 season</a>, the stadium underwent an $8 million renovation. The Wayne Densch Center for Student-Athlete Leadership was constructed on the east facade of the stadium, and a party deck known as the "Carl Black and Gold Cabana" was added to the east stands.<a href="#cite_note-249">[246]</a><a href="#cite_note-250">[247]</a><a href="#cite_note-251">[248]</a> By many accounts the stadium was built cheaply and as fast as possible. Due to these factors the stadium tends to bounce up and down giving it the nickname "The Bounce House". The stadium was renamed to Spectrum Stadium in April 2017 following <a href="/wiki/Charter_Communications" title="Charter Communications">Charter Communications</a> acquisition of <a href="/wiki/Bright_House_Networks" title="Bright House Networks">Bright House Networks</a>.<a href="#cite_note-252">[249]</a> After the naming rights deal with Spectrum expired after the 2019 season, the stadium was renamed the Bounce House for the Knights 2020 season. Just over two weeks before the <a href="/wiki/2019_UCF_Knights_football_team" title="2019 UCF Knights football team">2019</a> season opener, the UCF athletic department announced that the entire season-ticket allotment was sold out for the first time in school history.<a href="#cite_note-253">[250]</a> In addition, they created a formal waiting list for season tickets, also for the first time. In the press release, then-UCF athletic director <a href="/wiki/Danny_White_(athletic_director)" title="Danny White (athletic director)">Danny White</a> teased a possible expansion of the facility in the future if ticket demand remains high. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Rivalries">Rivalries</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=UCF_Knights_football&action=edit&section=39" title="Edit section: Rivalries">edit</a>]</div> Though UCF remains a relatively young program that has shifted conferences several times, it has several long-standing rivalries with schools throughout the duration of Conference USA and The American.
