UCF to rename football stadium

What we know:

On Thursday, UCF Athletics announced that its on-campus football stadium, previously known as the "FBC Mortgage Stadium," will be renamed to the "Acrisure Bounce House." 

The decision was formally approved at today's UCF Board of Trustees meeting. 

What does the new name mean?

Dig deeper:

FBC Mortgage joined the Acrisure family in 2022. 

UCF Athletics leaders said the updated stadium name reflects FBC Mortgage’s transition to Acrisure Mortgage. The transition is a move that strengthens the company’s alignment with Acrisure LLC, a global fintech leader with operations in 23 countries and more than 19,000 team members. 

While the name is changing, UCF leaders said the strong relationship between UCF Athletics and Acrisure Mortgage — and the shared commitment to excellence — remains unchanged.

What's next:

Signage and branding updates with the new stadium name are expected to begin this summer ahead of the Knights’ 2025 football season.

The stadium name change will go into effect on July 1.

‘Pride, energy and unforgettable moments’

What they're saying:

"Since the beginning of our partnership, the stadium has become an iconic symbol of the UCF football experience, and we’re excited to continue that tradition with Acrisure," UCF Vice President and Director of Athletics Terry Mohajir said. "The Bounce House is a place of pride, energy and unforgettable moments, and this new name reflects both our vibrant identity and a dynamic, forward-thinking partner."

"This rebrand is about continuing to grow and innovate while staying rooted in who we are," Joe Nunziata, CEO of Acrisure Mortgage, said. "We’re proud to have our name on the stadium and even prouder to be part of the Orlando and UCF communities."
