UCF unveils details, timeline of stadium renovation

UCF’s proposed expansion of FBC Mortgage Stadium is "scheduled to begin in December" and is "expected to be completed before the start of the 2026 football season." The Roth Tower renovations involves “expanding approximately 58,000 square feet” and include 1,236 club seats, 34 loge boxes, 34 skybays and 25 luxury suites, with the project estimated to cost $88M. The club seating area will “increase by 40% to approximately 16,000 square feet” as it grows from 900 to 1,236 seats. Luxury suites will increase from 25 to 59 and the school plans to offer a "level of 'sky cribs' that will provide fans with an open-air patio suite with upscale food, beverage, beer and wine.” The expanded premium seating options will help the school generate $2.4M in new revenue annually. UCF selected AECOM as its architect and Barton Malow as the construction manager for the project (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 3/22).
