The 2,000-seat stadium is home to the UCF Knights track and field, cross country and soccer teams. The Knights compete in the Big 12 Conference.
UCF's Soccer and Track Complex is located on the northern edge of the University of Central Florida's 1415acres main campus, which is approximately 13miles northeast of downtown Orlando and 55miles southwest of Daytona Beach.[2]
The stadium is located within Knights Plaza, which is a part of UCF's Athletic Village. Also located within Knights Plaza is Addition Financial Arena, the indoor arena of UCF Knights basketball, The Venue, the indoor arena of UCF Knights volleyball, John Euliano Park, the home field of UCF Knights baseball, and the Towers residence halls, which house 2,000 UCF students, including student-athletes.[3] To the east of the complex is FBC Mortgage Stadium, home of the UCF Knights football team.
The stadium was built in 1991, and during the summer of 2004, the track was resurfaced and enhanced. The complex underwent another further renovation in 2008, adding long jump and triple jump pits as well as an expanded throwing area.[1]
In 2011, the stadium was heavily renovated, boasting a 2,000 seat capacity with a new 1,475-seat stand, press box, 7500square feet clubhouse, restrooms and new entrance on the west side of the facility. The original 500-seat stand was retained as a visitors' stand.[4] The renovated stadium opened in May 2011.
