It is listed on page 10.With that 12 million filled, that only leaves 18 million. Also, the stadium is only 47 million. The additonal 13 million was added in for moving baseball, soccer fields and roadways, etc.Bottom line is that UCF will have the stadium paid off very quickly if they continue to exceed ticket sale projections and estimates in the feasability study.

Maybe The Dungeon will prevail after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting that we'll all grow to accept the naming rights as we acknowledge Bright House's contribution to our athletic program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name another OCS that goes strictly by a corporate sponsor. I realize they're out there, like Papa Johns, but it just doesn't seem to fit in with this traditional college football atmosphere you all try to push so hard ... "The Dungeon at Bright House Stadium .... "Bright Knight House Stadium" .... You need something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need something.Just like the dozens of other facilities that have a corporate name and then a nickname, UCF will be no different.It will be Bright House Stadium. But it will also be known as "The Dungeon". Ben Griffin Stadium = "The Swamp" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighthouse has a field out in Clearwater, if anything they should sponsor something of ours and not UCF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
