The Knights play their home games at the new UCF Arena,
one of the finest facilities in the nation. The 10,000-seat
venue opened in the fall of 2007 and is located on the north
side of campus.
The arena’s unique design creates an intimate atmosphere
for fans, while creating an intimidating atmosphere for
opponents. The design creates perfect sightlines for UCF
supporters, giving every spectator a spectacular view.
The facility features luxury boxes and suites, a club
lounge, open concourse areas and numerous concession options.
Fans benefit from a state-of-the-art audio and video system.
The scoreboard features four video screens that show replays
and player information.
Fans enter the building through a spacious lobby that has
conveniently located concession and apparel stands. The arena
sits on the northern side of campus and is situated around
UCF’s other athletics facilities, including Bright House
Networks Stadium. The football stadium opened in the fall of
2007.
The arena is the centerpiece of an area that includes
apartment-style dormitories with 2,000 total beds and about
100,000-square feet of retail space. Before and after games,
fans can dine and shop at stores like Barnes & Noble and Red
Brick Oven Pizza.
Across the street from the new arena is the new FAIRWINDS
Alumni Center. The facility makes its convenient for alumni
groups to schedule functions in conjunction with UCF home
games.
The new UCF Arena features a state-of-the-art training
room and a cafeteria for student-athletes.
The old UCF Arena, where the Knights played from 1991-07,
is currently being renovated and will serve as a practice
facility for the basketball program. A spacious locker room
and lounge for the basketball teams is also being constructed
inside the facility. |
