In addition to the following list of FBS football stadiums, there is also a List of NCAA Division I FBS football programs. Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Football Club has a new naming rights partner for its 22,000-seat stadium. With a focus on building communities, we specialize in building schools (K-12 and higher education), community centers, public safety, parks and recreation, corrections, sports, water and wastewater, entertainment, mixed-use, and hospitality projects—all the things a community needs to thrive.

M.J. Devonshire selected with Raiders' second 2024 seventh-round pick

The old park didn’t possess nearly the towering presence of the new facility. The photo at the top of this page shows the southern entrance to the ballpark, which brings you into the park behind first base. If you’ve read my review of Citizens Bank Park, then you know that the Phillies’ new regular-season facility is a very, very special place. UCF President John C. Hitt and several prominent UCF supporters saw the vision of what an on-campus stadium could be. They believed the football program and a stadium could help elevate the university and its brand.

For the mom who loves a day at the lake

However, a lot of that changed when ESPN’s College Game Day visited Orlando last season. The stadium is frequently sold out now, thanks to the team’s recent successes, and when FBC Mortgage Stadium is full to the gills with upwards of 45,000 fans, the noise level gets loud. Just over two weeks before the 2019 UCF football season opener, the UCF athletic department announced that the entire season-ticket allotment was sold out for the first time in school history.[53] In addition, they created a formal waiting list for season tickets, also for the first time. 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. The name change in Los Angeles has been brewing since 2020, when Banc of California backed out of its reported 15-year naming rights deal first signed in 2016.

An inside look at Brock Bowers' first day with the Las Vegas Raiders

On the inside, there were many nice touches — some typical in HOK parks and some not. But for years the idea of an on-campus stadium at UCF was a dream that many had said could never come true. Over the years “this place” has given fans dramatic wins, memorable performances and championship moments. It has brought generations together that may never have met if not for their common passion for their beloved Knights. It’s also been our home for Knight fans to build memories, friendships and traditions that will last a lifetime.

What They're Saying: Media weighs in on Raiders draft

The stadium literally began to bounce as fans jumped up and down to celebrate the first touchdown scored in the new on-campus facility. On that day, the No. 6-ranked Longhorns helped christen the stadium before a sold-out crowd. Trailing 3-0, UCF’s offense marched down the field, setting up star running back Kevin Smith to score from two yards out to give the Knights the lead. As UCF approaches its inaugural season as the youngest member of a Power 5 conference, the athletics department is taking a look back to commemorate this special moment in history.

"Always let them show up to be a part of it for the day. All access, tons of interactions with the players. It was really special. It built a really good bond between the community and the Raiders." The Denver Broncos, on the clock after the Jets, also expressed interest in Bowers during the draft process. Between picks five through 12, Bowers understandably spent more time in his safe room than his living room.

FBC Mortgage Stadium

Bright House Networks Stadium, home to the UCF Knights football program, is located at the north section of campus. Part of a $60 million project that included financing costs, reserve requirements, infrastructure, roads, parking and practice fields, the stadium spans over 25 acres and seats 45,301. Construction and operation of Bright House Networks Stadium was funded through naming rights, revenues from suites and club seat leases, ticket and concessions sales, donations, corporate sponsorships and advertising. Construction only began a year and a half prior to its opening and first game on September 15, 2007 against the Texas Longhorns.

UCF Football Venue to Become FBC Mortgage Stadium

By the way, the exact location for BHN Field is the former site of a Home Depot, which opened a new store in Clearwater. That provided some already-paved parking for the project near the gate that faces south, but much more is needed in March, and additional lots are near the main gates on the west end of the park. The stadium was originally named Bright House Networks Field after the regional / national cable company, Bright House Networks, whose local head end center is located just to the south of the stadium. The facilities at FBC Mortgage Stadium are immaculate as well, with restrooms constantly restocked with paper towels and soap. During the game, everything one expects from a college football game is here, from the band performances to the Golden Knight riding onto the field on horseback before kickoff.

BHN Field delivers in this area beautifully, so please take the time to take such a stroll. And by the way, when you’re behind the bullpens in left field, make note of the interesting directional sign (see above), which provides a light-hearted look at the distances to each of the Phillies’ minor-league affiliates. BHN Field and Jack Russell Stadium couldn’t be more dissimilar, and this is especially true of their exteriors.

A great many things have changed for UCF since their championship parade down Main Street USA in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. After two back-to-back undefeated regular seasons, the team has finally moved from the American conference to the Big XII. While he'd already been outfitted with a Raiders jacket, now it was time to try on the famed silver helmet. As he made his way to the equipment room, he also stopped by the weight room to meet some of his new teammates including cornerback Jack Jones, David Agoha, Janarius Robinson and Elerson Smith. After answering the call, he frantically got himself together on the couch with his parents, sister and girlfriend. With the broadcast still showing the upcoming Broncos pick, his friends passed him a Denver hat believing that's where the call was just from.

He quickly tossed the hat aside, requesting it be switched out for the Silver and Black hat, kicking off a celebration within the Bowers' home in Fairfield, California. It was a team familiar with Bowers from his days attending Redwood Middle School in Napa, California, where the Oakland Raiders held Training Camp over 20 years. LAFC's stadium has been sold out for every MLS regular-season and playoff match since its opening in 2018, according to the club.
