“There’s not a lot of big event venues on the east side of Orlando,” UCF Director of Athletics Terry Mohajir said during the UCF trustees’ March 28 meeting. “Having the ability to host weddings, receptions, happy hours and corporate outings is an opportunity for us to drive new revenue.”
Mohajir told Orlando Business Journal the stadium’s expanded club level will allow it to have three or four events every night, such as alumni functions, happy hours or university events. The stadium usually hosts seven games a year for UCF.
