University Center Club gets a new name, new management
The University Center Club on Florida State's campus has a new name: The Dunlap Champions Club. The name change comes as the Seminole Boosters ended a 25-year contract with ClubCorp on Dec. 31 to operate the space.
It's named for Albert J. Dunlap and his wife, Judith A. Dunlap, who were major donors to the university.
In October, FSU and Legends Hospitality entered into a 10-year partnership that includes a "360º approach to drive engagement and enhance the overall fan experience at Doak Campbell Stadium," according to a joint statement.
Legends Hospitality will take over operational duties as the Dunlap Champions Club, which will function as a private members club and special events space, similar to how it previously operated. New signage is planned.
Stephen Ponder, executive vice president of Seminole Boosters, said some of the current staff will remain in similar roles with Legends while others will move to other ClubCorp locations.
Ponder indicated not much would change for the general public.
"I am not sure the general public will see notice the changes unless they came into the Grill to eat as the way people pay or are seated may be different," he said, in an email to the Tallahassee Democrat. "The new club will have special event nights as in the past years."
