Bright House Networks has acquired naming rights to the University of Central Florida's new football stadium slated to open next year.
UCF has begun construction on "Bright House Stadium," which is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2007 home opener against the University of Texas. According to the agreement, UCF will receive $15 million over 15 years for naming rights to the Golden Knights' stadium.
"This generous support from our friends at Bright House Networks will help us build a first-class stadium on our campus that will attract the best student-athletes and provide an exciting college football experience for students, alumni and other fans," UCF President John Hitt said.
"We are excited about announcing this new partnership between Bright House Networks and UCF because it demonstrates our commitment to the community, as well as to this university, which has played such a pivotal role in Central Florida's growth," said J. Christian Fenger, president of Bright House Networks Central Florida Division. "As an on-campus sports venue, we believe Bright House Networks Stadium will become an important facility in this community and a symbol of our support for UCF's leadership as one of the largest and most successful state universities in the country."
