$51 million on-campus stadium okayed for UCF
ORLANDO — The University of Central
Florida is set to build a $51 million stadium for its vastly improved
football team.
The school's board of trustees on
Wednesday approved a financial plan for the 45,000-seat stadium, which could
open for the 2007 football season.
The Golden Knights have made the
second-biggest turnaround in NCAA history. They went from 0-11 last season
to 8-4 in 2005, playing for the Conference USA championship and going to a
bowl for the first time. UCF will play Nevada on Dec. 24 in the Hawaii Bowl.
"If you had said two years ago that by
now we'd have formal approval for a stadium, I think people would have been
dubious," university president John Hitt said. "We've broken the losing
streak. We're confident where we are with the fan base. Everything looks
more rosy."
The team will move out of the downtown
Citrus Bowl when the new stadium is finally ready.
The approval came only after trustees
were assured the stadium could generate enough revenue to cover costs.
