UCF Athletics announced the Bounce House will allow about 11,000 spectators at UCF football’s home opener on Oct. 3 against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.
UCF Director of Athletics Danny White said in a Monday news release that UCF Athletics continues to work with the necessary officials on safety measures for home football games.
White said UCF is currently approved for 25% occupancy in the Bounce House for the first home game and said he hopes UCF can host more games at some point during the season.
The Bounce House, previously known as Spectrum Stadium, has a seating capacity of 44,206, per UCF’s website. A 25% capacity limit would allow about 11,000 spectators.
“I am excited about the possibilities of playing football, but also disheartened for our team and fans that it will be done with a smaller number of spectators in attendance,” White said. “In addition, many of the game day traditions we have built will have to be put on hold this season in order to protect the health of our fans.”
White said more details will be provided Tuesday afternoon regarding tickets.
“Due to the reduced capacity of our stadium to start the season, we will sell tickets on a single-game basis,” White said. “Season-ticket holders will have multiple options for this season.”
