The University of North Florida and Corporate Traffic Logistics, a family-owned business based in Jacksonville, have reached a five-year agreement for the naming rights to the playing surface at Hodges Stadium . The agreement was announced in a news conference on April 2 at the stadium, home to the Ospreys men's and women's soccer and track and field programs. The official name of the surface will be “Corporate Traffic Logistics Field at Hodges Stadium.

” The company will also be the logistics partner of UNF Athletics and signage will be displayed at three other athletic venues, UNF Arena (basketball and volleyball), Harmon Stadium (baseball) and the UNF Softball Complex. “UNF is grateful for the longtime support from Corporate Traffic Logistics,” said interim UNF President Angela Garcia Falconetti in a statement. “We are proud to continue to work with a company that consistently supports our students, from student-athletes to logistics majors, through gifts, internships and hiring graduates.
