UCF Football Makes Major Announcement Ahead of 2025 Season

By formally embracing the “Bounce House” nickname, UCF leans into one of the most unique atmospheres in college football. The moniker isn’t new to fans—the stadium has earned that reputation since it opened, thanks to a raucous student section and crowd energy that makes the building shake.

Now, it’s part of the official branding, signaling that UCF plans to stand out in a Big 12 full of tradition-rich programs. For recruits, it’s another selling point: a stadium with identity, personality, and major corporate backing.

That corporate partner, Acrisure, brings serious financial muscle—and it’s not the only investment coming to Orlando. The university is already working on an $88 million expansion project for Roth Tower, set to debut in 2026. That means premium seating upgrades, improved fan amenities, and facilities designed to match the best in the conference. The Bounce House isn’t just a cool name—it’s becoming a legitimate recruiting and fan engagement weapon.

Institutional support is backing these moves as well. The UCF Board of Trustees approved the name change, underscoring the university-wide commitment to athletics growth. This isn’t a temporary rebrand; it’s a long-term vision that connects community tradition with future-facing ambition. In a league where perception matters, UCF is making sure it’s not just along for the ride—it’s building a brand that shakes.

So when Big 12 play returns this fall, the Knights won’t just be playing in a stadium with new signage. They’ll be playing in a place that’s louder, prouder, and ready to make a statement. The Bounce House is officially open for business—and the rest of the Big 12 better be ready to feel it move.
