Camping World Stadium

Description

Since opening in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration project by President Franklin D. Roosevelt at a cost of $115,000, Camping World Stadium has experienced numerous expansions and name changes over the years. In 2014 the stadium underwent major demolition and enormous reconstruction designed to modernize the facility and allow it to draw new high-profile events like neutral-site college football games, NFL pre-season match-ups and concerts. The $207.7 million project kicked-off in January immediately following a sold-out Monster Jam engagement and construction took place over the subsequent ten months so it would not interfere with the stadium's signature annual events including the Florida Blue Florida Classic, Russell Athletic Bowl, Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl and Monster Jam.
