Fans won't be the only people who may need help navigating their surroundings when the doors are opened for UCF's first regular-season game in its new 10,000-seat arena today against Nevada.

He's had a few months to bond with it, but Knights senior guard Mike O'Donnell still kind of feels like a visitor when he goes through the doors and paces the halls.

"I still can't believe it's ours," O'Donnell said. "It kind of feels like an away game right now when I walk in."

The centerpiece at the entrance of UCF's new athletic village, the new arena flanks the Knights' football complex and Bright House Networks Stadium and is the hub between the nearby dorms and shops.
