UCF makes official announcement on new Bounce House lighting, wireless

Press release:

State-of-the-art lighting and connectivity improvements are the latest additions to UCF’s FBC Mortgage Stadium.

The new lighting system features a retrofit of the previous metal halide system to a full LED system. The installation meets NCAA championship-level play standards for both vertical and horizontal light levels and uniformities.

The system will significantly improve lighting for both the in-stadium and television fan experience as the number of light fixtures has increased by almost 50%. It gives UCF the ability to use a Dynamic Scene Control System with color and flickering lights to enhance the gameday show. Also added is egress lighting for the exterior of the stadium.

“Our fans will see an enhanced in-stadium experience and our broadcasts on ESPN and Fox networks will be championship quality based on the LED additions,” says Terry Mohajir, UCF vice president and director of athletics.

The connectivity improvements feature the addition of MatSing lens antennas at FBC Mortgage Stadium, providing the most advanced cellular signal distribution antenna system, especially for a high-density environment.

The system is the same as those at AT&T Stadium in Texas, Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Raymond James Stadium and Amalie Arena in Tampa and Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Each antenna pod contains 50 individual concentrated antennas to provide coverage to each segment of the stadium, accounting for a more efficient and effective distribution of wi-fi signal.

AT&T is the installer—and additional carriers are expected at a future date.

The lighting and connectivity work has begun and will continue through July at FBC Mortgage Stadium.

Lots of rumors floating around, let's do a good ole dungeon poll and see who the dungeon thinks would be the next head football coach IF Gus does choose to retire/there's a mutual parting of ways.
Wil leave poll open for 2 weeks.

Gus Malzahn’s UCF Legacy

There’s obviously not much left to be said at this point about the Gu era at UCF. My question is though, when he retires, will his legacy be the worst of any head coach in UCF’s athletic departments history?

It feels like a silly thing to type, but I definitely believe that you could at least make the case football, bare minimum at the D1 level, given the resources he’s had to succeed (booster support, AD backing, P4 tag for recruiting, etc.)

Who else would you throw in that category?
