Acrisure Bounce House is the home football stadium of the UCF Knights, sitting on the university’s main campus in Orlando, Florida. It opened on September 15, 2007 as Bright House Networks Stadium and has carried several corporate names since, most recently taking the Acrisure brand on July 1, 2025 after longtime sponsor FBC Mortgage rebranded.
The venue earned its enduring nickname, ‘The Bounce House,’ because the seating structure visibly shakes when fans jump in unison to the song ‘Kernkraft 400’ during games. The effect was strong enough after the 2007 debut season that engineers added structural reinforcements, though the playful tradition and the nickname stuck for good.

The Ride Experience
Game day at Acrisure Bounce House is less about watching football quietly and more about feeling it. The signature moment comes when the stadium plays ‘Kernkraft 400’ and the student section starts jumping together, causing the stands to visibly sway. It’s become one of college football’s most recognizable crowd traditions, drawing attention from broadcasters and opposing fans alike.
Beyond the bounce, the stadium has grown steadily since opening in 2007. A 2014-2015 renovation added the Wayne Densch Center and a party deck, and a $90 million expansion of the Roth Tower wrapped up in time for the 2026 season, pushing capacity past 45,900 and adding premium seating overlooking the field. Ahead of the 2025 season, crews also replaced the original playing surface with new TifTuf Bermudagrass.
A Name That Keeps Changing
Few college stadiums have worn as many corporate names as this one. It opened as Bright House Networks Stadium, became Spectrum Stadium in 2017 after a corporate rebrand, briefly went by just ‘Bounce House’ in 2020-2021, then FBC Mortgage Stadium from 2022, before Acrisure’s 2025 rebrand of FBC Mortgage carried the naming rights over to the current Acrisure Bounce House.
Through every rename, the ‘Bounce House’ nickname has stayed the one constant fans actually use, a reminder that the building’s personality was earned on the field long before any sponsor’s name was attached to it.
