[14][15][16] The facility has a longtime nickname of The Bounce House, as it was found to be susceptible to considerable shaking when its crowd jumps in unison.

[citation needed] On May 31, 2022, FBC Mortgage entered a 10-year, $19.5 million deal with UCF for the naming rights of the stadium beginning July 1, 2022.

[18] The stadium's 50-yard-line is lined up with Launch Pad 39A, to symbolize UCF's longstanding partnership with NASA and other space agencies.

To the west in Knights Plaza is the Addition Financial Arena, The Venue, John Euliano Park, and the UCF Track and Soccer Complex.

Also located in Knights Plaza are The Towers residence halls, housing 2,000 UCF students, including student-athletes.

The city was in the planning stages for a new arena, new performing arts center, and "creative village", with stadium renovations seemingly taking less priority.

[24][25] In early 2005, the university abandoned the efforts to renovate the Citrus Bowl, and conducted a feasibility study to construct an on-campus stadium.

[26] Along with playing in a modern facility, and generating revenue, additional motivations included drawing more students to the games, a more intimate setting, and establishing game-day traditions on campus.

However, construction was delayed due to concerns from local residents regarding potentially falling property values and noise levels from the stadium.

The Florida Legislature put itself in position to hold approval authority for such sponsorships valued at over $1 million, while the state's insurance industry lobbied against the agreement due to RoofClaim's business practices.

[32][33][34] Political pressure terminated a similar naming rights deal the company had briefly secured with Florida Atlantic University for that school's basketball arena.

[38][39][40] The stadium vibrates and shakes when fans jump in unison, most notably when the song "Kernkraft 400" by Zombie Nation is played.

[41][42] The bouncing effect was noticed early on, and shortly after the stadium opened in 2007, some people started calling the facility "The Trampoline",[43] a nickname that ultimately failed to gain traction.

The university argued that the building code used when the stadium was designed and approved did not require the installation of drinking fountains.

[49] During the inaugural game against Texas, vendors ran out of water at halftime, leading to the hospitalization of 18 people for heat exhaustion.

In the press release, then-UCF athletic director Danny White teased a possible expansion of the stadium in the near future if ticket demand remains high.

Cited in the lawsuit were claims of "defects and deficiencies" which ostensibly led to "premature wear of the steel," as well as visible rust issues.

[67] The highest attendance for games played at FBC Mortgage Stadium against the Knights have included rival South Florida, Cincinnati, and Miami.

[71][72][73] Dubbed the "Space Game", players wear special uniforms and helmets with space-themed designs and logos.

Uniforms may include a replica mission patch, constellations, names of astronauts, and other images and graphics related to space exploration.
