Florida AD outlines Ben Hill Griffin Stadium renovation details

Florida Athletic Director Scott Stricklin provided details on June 12 regarding the ongoing renovation of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The project will result in the loss of approximately 8,000 seats in the lower bowl to comply with safety and building codes, as well as ADA standards. Stricklin confirmed that nearly one-third of the $1.45 billion budget will support essential maintenance and upgrades. Funding for the project will be sourced from private donations and long-term debt, avoiding the use of student tuition or fees. Stricklin stated the goal is to maintain a capacity of over 88,000 for future home games.
