JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — University of North Florida Athletics has expanded its partnership with Corporate Traffic Logistics through a new five-year agreement. The deal includes exclusive naming rights for the playing surface at Hodges Stadium, which will be renamed Corporate Traffic Logistics Field at Hodges Stadium.
The partnership is designed to enhance the experience for UNF student-athletes, particularly those in the soccer and track and field programs. The agreement builds on a 15-year relationship between the university and the Jacksonville-based logistics company, which supports students through internships, scholarships and career development.
The agreement includes naming rights for the playing surface at Hodges Stadium and establishes the company as the preferred logistics partner for UNF Athletics. The firm will also have prominent signage throughout Hodges Stadium and logo visibility at Harmon Stadium, the UNF Arena and the UNF Softball Complex.
Interim President Angela Garcia Falconetti said the university is grateful for the continued support. “UNF is grateful for the longtime support from Corporate Traffic Logistics,” Falconetti said. “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.”
Corporate Traffic Logistics is a family-owned business that has operated in Jacksonville for more than 30 years. Nick Morrow, UNF vice president of intercollegiate athletics, said the 15-year relationship between the company and the university has reached a new level. “Corporate Traffic has been an incredible example of that commitment for more than 15 years and this transformational investment takes our shared vision to a new level,” Morrow said. “Their continued engagement helps elevate the experience of our student‑athletes while strengthening UNF’s connection to the Jacksonville community.”
The company is one of the university’s most active employers, having attended 29 UNF Career Fairs since 2023. Over the last 15 years, the firm has hired at least 178 interns from the school. During a recent Corporate Traffic Day event at the university, at least 400 students met with company representatives to discuss job opportunities and internships.
Chris Cline, president of Corporate Traffic Logistics, said the company is proud to help student-athletes move into their professional lives. “We’ve built a strong foundation with the university—working with students, hiring graduates and supporting student-athletes as they transition into their professional careers,” Cline said. “Expanding that relationship in such a meaningful way is something we’re extremely proud of.”
At least 20 current employees at the company’s Jacksonville headquarters are UNF graduates. This group includes seven former members of the men’s soccer team who transitioned from collegiate competition to careers in the logistics industry.
