New design for Camping World Stadium comes into focus

ORLANDO, Fla. — The City of Orlando has published new architectural renderings for the proposed Camping World Stadium upgrades.

The project, which has been years in the making, would upgrade the stadium’s upper bowls, add an upper bowl on the northern side and increase seating to 65,000.

Engineers say the additions will also need additional hurricane bracing, which they plan to incorporate into a new aesthetic for the exterior of the building.

Other upgrades include improved suites, code updates and a retractable stage pocket, which designers say will help draw more big musical acts.

Camping World Stadium will be upgraded using Tourism Development Tax money, or TDT. Orange County approved $400 million for the upgrades early last year.

It’s not clear if Camping World will retain the naming rights. The renderings show generic sponsorship signs.

The project is expected to go before the Municipal Planning Board on August 19.

Feel free to explore the renderings in the gallery:
