Orlando Prepping Stadium for Future
City of Orlando is moving forward on $400 million in upgrades for Camping World Stadium. The next step is picking a project manager and design team to make changes that include connecting the upper concourse of the stadium, replacing seats in the upper bowl and building a new 100,000-square-foot events center. The money will come from Orange County tourist development taxes.
The stadium is the host of the Tangerine and Florida Citrus college football bowl games. In a addition, it hosts a number of other entertainment events such as rock concerts (Billy Joel, Def Leppard, Garth Brooks), Wrestlemania and monster truck contests.
The Orlando Business Journal reports the stadium operators hope the improvements will attract a national college football championship, the Jacksonville Jaguars when the have to leave their own stadium during improvements and various other NFL games.
